No wonder prices keep going up. Thermae LT should be maximum $3K cos most girls start work late. Unless she is early bird and go off with you to your hotel at 10 pm and leave at noon next day
In some cases, their LT is more like extended ST. They have supper , talk talk with you at stalls outside Thermae and by time get to your hotel 1 to 2am then next morning they say they have to leave early at 5 to 6am for school or work so actually time spent with you only 3 to 4 hrs.

Agree. Thai girls still like old gold probably cos of mother's influence and also maybe later the old gold will land up with their mother
Maybe you can try Yawarat which has lots of gold shop

My observation is that there are two types of girls in this place.
The top girls who will only go with Asians (in particular Japanese), are usually among the ones who line up on the right side or seat at the back, sometimes near the entrance. It's difficult to get them under 2K ST/ 4K LT (unless maybe as you said, it's just extended ST).
Then you have the girls who target the farangs who get turned down by the top girls because they are not Asian. They can sit anywhere else (sometimes outside), and are less pretty (not worth 3K LT).
I know it because I am ang mo. I sometimes get access to the top girls during low season and when there are few Japanese ATMs around, but usually get turned down . The ones who may respond positively are usually not so pretty so I usually don't barfine them unless I'm lucky, but they go for cheaper price (i.e. usually 2K, max 2.5K LT, max. 1.5K ST).
Where is my gay friend, norice? Been awhile since he posted something. Using another nick after missing my appointment? If anyone meeting him or know him, send my regards to him. Update him I will be in BKK soon.

Most girls will love gold. Can wear and show off. No money, can pawn or sell. She will even happier if she gets the gold free and gold price is heading up There are a lot of gold shops in BKK and price of gold will be displayed. Walk in choose and nego.

Stricter rules for foreigners’ bank accounts.
Posted by pattayatoday on Jul 19th, 2012.
The Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) has announced new regulations for the opening of Thai bank accounts in a bid to reduce financial crime conducted by foreigners. There have recently been several prominent arrests of foreigners accused of money laundering and currency fraud. From next month Thai banks will be instructed to check more carefully the background and identities of aliens wanting to open an account in the Kingdom.
Currently, the only documentation required is a photocopy of the alien’s passport and, in some cases, a certificate obtained from the immigration bureau to confirm their address. The minimum deposit to open an account varies from bank to bank but can be as low as 500 baht. The account is then activated immediately without a pre-screening process.
Police Colonel Seehanat Prayoonrat, chief of AMLO, said that in the future banks will be required to question applicants as to their reasons for wishing to open an account.
Justifiable reasons might include sending cash from overseas to purchase a condo, supporting a Thai family or being based in Thailand for living or working. He added that accounts registered by a proxy would be closed immediately. “In future, applicants need to show more documents as proof,” the colonel explained.
No definitive list of additional documents has yet been issued, but are likely to include a work permit or a one-year visa. Aliens might also be asked to provide proof of their residence address in their first country. Ongoing checks will be made to verify whether the amounts being deposited and withdrawn fit the background profile and income of the applicant. For example, foreigners claiming to be students yet holding accounts of millions of baht would be suspect. Thailand is believed to be a high-risk country for money laundering which can fund terrorism.
Financial experts say that banks are likely to react in different ways to the new regulations. Some might restrict new alien accounts to those holding a work permit whilst others will want documentation additional to the passport and the immigration certificate. Others might even require police clearance from the home country. Existing accounts will not normally be affected although they may be monitored more thoroughly for unusual transactions, deposits and withdrawals.
Police Colonel Seehanat said that the new rules were proof of Thailand’s commitment to tackling money laundering acts. A spokesman for AMLO added that foreigners wanting to open a bank account would need a personal file providing proof of their lawful intentions as well as an interview with bank officials. He commented that some dubious bank accounts in the past have been opened by tourists visiting for less than three months.
