One topic that always comes up when talking to people about Pattaya – Women. It’s no secret that Pattaya has a reputation for wild and seedy nightlife that is known around the world. The city has tried to clean up its image over the past few years, yet everyone still wants to know about the Pattaya Girls. It’s not much of a wonder to anyone who’s been there, as there are beautiful Thai women all over the city.
The main thing that comes to a lot of people’s minds is prostitution. Although illegal in Thailand, officials tend to look the other way when it comes to this aspect of the nightlife and culture. Sex is on sale pretty much 24-7 in Pattaya. That is the reality, no matter how people would like to sugar coat it.
However it is not like a lot of western people envision. Most drum up some horrible vision of the worst, and assume that is what Pattaya is like. On the contrary, it is much more respectable than that, even if you disagree with the pay for pleasure mentality. It is out in the open for anyone to see, yet it remains a bit discreet to those that partake. What do I mean?
First, let’s make sure you know that all women in Pattaya are not prostitutes. If you approach women in an inappropriate manner you will get yourself in trouble. Just use your head and show respect.
You can meet girls in Pattaya at a variety of different venues, from beer bars to go-go bars, discos to restaurants. You can find girls that are willing to go with you. However it doesn’t have the seedy feeling of prostitution that most would associate with it. It is more like you are flirting with a girl in a bar. You hit it off and she goes with you. You take her to dinner, dancing, and back to your room. It is more like a date, which I think is most appealing to most men that come here.
If you find a girl that you really like, she may stay with you through your entire vacation. You’ll find yourself taking her sightseeing, shopping, to the movies, out to dinner, just like you would a girl back home. You’ll be paying for these things as well as her barfine and daily rate, but it feels like you’ve found a new girlfriend. This is really what they mean when they say she was a girlfriend experience.
Pattaya Girls – Things to Know
You have to realize that even though you think you’ve found your new girlfriend, this is still a working relationship. Unless you sponsor her and take her out of the bar, she is still a bar girl in Pattaya and will go with customer to make her living. When she is with you, she will be devoted, as long as you are paying her. When you are gone she will be looking for a new customer.
The Bar Fine
A lot of people still don’t understand this. The barfine is the amount of money (baht) you pay to the bar to take the girl off premises, nothing more. You are essentially taking one of the bar owners girls off duty for the night and you compensate the bar for this. Any additional ‘services’ you require are on top of that.
The typical bar fine can run from THB 200 – 500 (that’s Thai Baht if you don’t know).
Negotiating with Pattaya Girls
The additional services are negotiated directly with the woman of your choosing. It is often advised by people that have been in the pay for pleasure realm for some time that it is best to agree upon a price before paying the bar fine and leaving the bar. I can’t say this a bad option.
There will be a different rate depending on whether you want to take a girl long time or short time.
Long Time vs. Short Time
What’s the difference between long time and short time…about 500 Baht. Seriously though, there is more than just price involved. It also has to do with time, location, and intent.
Long time (LT) is where you take the girl from the bar for the entire night. She will stay with you until morning (or early afternoon depending on how late you were out the night before). This is like a first date. You take her with you to bars, discos, maybe a bite to eat.
If she likes you, she may try and stay with you the next day. If she is up early and getting dressed, it’s time to pay her and let her go.
Short time (ST) with a Pattaya girl is all about satisfaction. You meet a girl in the bar and arrange to take her short time. Most bars will have a room available onsite or you can take her back to your hotel if it is guest friendly. It is all about a quick session and then back out to the bars. There is no overnight stay involved. If you took a girl for short time and find there is a connection, you can ask her if she wants to stay with you long time and go from there.
There is a lot more information that can be passed along, especially to those who are making there first trip to Pattaya. Hopefully this answers some of your initial questions about Pattaya girls and what to expect when you get there.
