I don’t think I’ve ever managed 12 minutes. 15 minutes quickest. Usually 20-45.

(Yes, some of those girls try not to catch my eye when they see me walking up that lane… )

From what they say, most guys finish in less than 5 or 10 minutes.

Note to the guys who finish quickly: DON’T stay in the booth and start telling your life story to the girl while other guys are still there…

My recent experience of gogo girls suggest that service and value have declined. Economic factors and social trends play a part. Gogo girls don’t necessarily have much of an incentive to give you a good time. I just enjoy going to gogos to gawk and people watch, but I won’t necessarily take a girl. The behaviour of some of the punters and interaction with the girls is free theatre. Personally I can while away the best part of an evening in Baccara, notwithstanding that the penalty is often a nasty crick in the neck!

If I just want good service, I’ll use a reliable massage joint. Keeping some variety in the mix is essential.

I suppose we are trying to manage an eternal contrdiction. We want excellent reliable service at reasonable prices. This combination of service, reliabilty and value is never going to be attained in Thailand (not that it occurs much in the P4P sector in any nation), we can have some of these elements but not all.

For those in Thailand to whinge about cost really doesn’t get much sympathy from me. I am unfortunate enough to have to spend most of my time in London, where the cost of action is prohibitive if you desire quality. One hour with an escort girl is £150 (B9,500), to spend an evening with her will cost you perhaps B60,000. Of course with diligence you can research the market online to find a girl who will fulfil your precise requirements, but errors can still be made and are costly. If I have a less than perfect experience in Thailand I just shrug and write it off, and look forward to the next one. Here you either pay up, or sit at home and renew your subscription to hottiestakeituptheass.com. Or plan your next trip to LOS. You lot based over there ought to thank your lucky stars.
