Have you been seeing a lot of fake ads lately? It’s a real disappointment.
This is very common with the asian ads. The ads that are often fake. These girls pose as independents but are often run illegally and are in some way involved with trafficking.
The SP’s you might see that they are much older than advertised and much much different from the ad. If you called for someone, you’ll likely get someone else who is available.
This is a big disappointment and I hope that you will stop supporting these places.
Sometimes you are lucky to find something good, but this is becoming harder and harder.
Screen screen screen! You may or may not turn around, but it could be a HUGE waste of time!
If you don’t get a good vibe from your phone conversation than there is a good chance you don’t want to deal with this stuff.
So finally, this happened. It’s a bit surprising that they didn’t put up a fight, but it looks like they are having a brand new category where ads are properly screened and will cost up to $10 per post. That’s probably a smart move on by Craigslist considering the magnitude of attention that it got recently in Wired CNN and other sources. They should be able to make up for this loss with their new version of ads.
The adult ads topic was a problem for politicians in United States because of human trafficking and misuse of this part of Craigslist. There have been a few incidents that also gave Craigslist a bad reputation. Craigslist first removes this section in United States in September 2010 and now they’ve wiped anything adult related from their site globally.
The question remains, is this really helping or making things worse for service providers who were using Craigslist? Where are those people going to go now?
It’s unlikely that this has solved any problem of crime. It’s not going to end the career of all those who were using Craigslist. Ads are going to continue appearing on Internet and people will find ways around this. Objective to disperse attention to Craigslist is probably accomplished to some degree. Also, having some control will work out on lawmakers’ benefit.
The day Craigslist closed its adult services section there was a noticeable increase in traffic in many sites offering similar ad services. Among them were backpage.org and rateyourescort.org. Backpage charges from $1 up to $10 for bigger cities, while RateYourEscort is still free.
Craigslist was cheap. For many cities it was free, convenient and had a pretty good screening process which required that all posts are done with a validated phone number. Maybe this did not meet the expectations of lawmakers, but it’s often more advanced than in other web sites. Now there are different challenges. All of the sudden there is a plethora of new problems which, one would think, won’t really help to ease crime. Personal information and photos will be floating around internet with no screening of any kind. Ads will go back to local alternative papers, and who knows, more trading will happen on the streets?
Surrey is pretty flat and boring if you ask me. Other than finding a cheaper hotel to stay at than in Vancouver, I doubt I would find a reason to go there. So if you happen to do just that then what could be better than going with an escort. On the bright side though, it is a little different from the city and if you’re up to breathe some new air then maybe you will like it.
Prices are cheaper than Vancouver, in general. If you’re a decent looking guy, businessman of some kind, then before going with an escort maybe it’s a good idea to give few regular places a shot. Mirage tends to be popular bar place with a dress code and lots of great looking girls. You could test your luck here and if maybe you won’t need to get an escort. They call Surrey Slurrey but I haven’t stayed here long enough to see if the rumor is true.
It’s definitely a different feel from Vancouver. Lots of ads in Craigslist for Surrey, Langley area. A lot of them have fake pics so you might want to be careful and ready to say no when you see an escort that is twice the age of what you saw in the picture. Aparently this is what everyone is saying too and it did happen to me!
Check out reviews in perb and rateyourescort and stick to an agency if you can. Or check out Burnaby ads, or Vancouver’s, as they seem to have a better reputation than Surrey.
Once again in Toronto. I end up here every now and then for business. If it’s cold, you don’t know a lot of people or just want to stay inside the hotel then there are many escort options.
Few things that I noticed in this city. Having girls come to your hotel can be pricey if you want a decent girl. Almost all do outcalls but if it’s not a well managed agency, you never know what you’re going to get. Plenty of asians and prices are decent.
Prices are 120 HH for 7-8 and you can probably expect to pay over $200 for 9-10. Craigslist is pretty good source to find something quick and cheap, although make sure you arrange it earlier during the day so you don’t end up dialing a bunch of numbers and ending up with something half-decent. If you keep looking you will find many cuties here.
Other places to look at: theredzone, rateyourescort, terb.ca is good for ads and reviews.
If you go away from the city you will find many places that are reasonably priced and licensed as bodyrub and nude massage parlours. Mississauga and Brampton are few places you can check out. I heard that some of them don’t do FS, but I doubt this if you’re willing to offer something then I think things should work out naturally.
I think Toronto has way too many options and sometimes it makes more sense to find something that’s close to you. I read a lot of recommendations online and visited these exact places. Here are few that left a good impression on me: Tag141.com (young sweet Koreans), Utopia Massage in Brampton, Steeles Royal Massage and Airport Golden Spa.
Toronto Asian Escort looked amazing. I wish I could go and try some more of that. Toronto girlfriends has some nice mixed variety and slightly steeper, $160 for HH and more for the caucasian fans.
Or if you’re doing outcalls, apparently it’s fine to say no if things don’t turn out to be the way you expected. I’m glad I haven’t had to do this yet…
I visited a Whiskey, a strip club. I wasn’t impressed but I was tired that day. Nightlife is pretty good for going out just don’t try something like October or November. It’s cold and you probably want to know where you’re going. When I go around this time of year I’m just going to go with something like Tag141 outcall. Or maybe I’ll just try get lucky first with toronto’s independent escorts, terb, rateyourescort or craigslist.
The economy in the United States is in turmoil, but what effect is this economic downturn having on the world oldest profession. One survey recently pegged the size of the United States escort economy at somewhere over 100 million dollars. Speaking to various escorts around the country have made it clear that the economy is defiantly having an effect on the way they do business. Regular clients have fallen off the map, and many are having to seriously consider reviewing the standard rates that they charge. While we cant gage the effects the economy is having on large escort directories such as the Eros Guide, we have certainly seen the effects that the economy is having on escort review sites. Looking at the two main escort review sites shows that the TnA Review has a poll on their site that clearly shows most hobbyists have been effected by this. The erotic review is having to beef up services by introducing a messenger service. On the other hand one site that has actually increased the charges has been one of the largest escort posting sites on the Internet. Craigslist.com which features erotic services ads in almost every major city around the world has begun charging escorts to post in their erotic services section. Also looking at backpage.com a similar site to craigslist has begun dropping rates in some of their cities. This reporter however wonders if the Spitzer effect has helped or hurt the industry, perhaps what we are seeing is many of the high profile hobbyists that used to partake the company of escort services have cut back, or the fact that certain cities that are stronger escort centers are being hit harder that others. What the bigger picture here is that the escort profession has been the oldest profession and one of the most profitable professions in history. Escorting and prostitution has had its ups and downs over the years, and no doubt that the industry is in a bit of a slump much like every other business in the world, besides Walmart of course. The escort industry is still remaining strong and judging by the active hobbyist community this industry will continue to remain strong forever. For the escort news this is Jon Sanders
Calgary has some attractive girls all around. If you have a chance to meet one I highly recommend it. 14 St Studio is a nice clean massage parlor, but a little pricey for me. Similar places like these are MT Royal Massage, Marlborough and CEO Massage. If you’re looking a little more for your buck then you could try Typical Oriental Massage. FS is usually around 150, but not all girls will offer it. If you open up your yellow pages you will see lots of escorts that charge about 100 for hh or 150-200 for h. This is nice, easy and discreet and they’re usually classy enough. On Calgary Sun and other newspapers you have ads that are 300 and up (expensive) and you may have a terrific time but I haven’t tried any of that.
Although this is not typically my cup of tea, I have to say Calgary has some incredibly attractive street girls, usually younger than 30. Rates are 100-300 and you can probably negotiate to as much as half that. They usually hang out after hours around Au Clair Market. That is in the area of 2nd and 3rd street and 1st and 5th Avenue.
And of course, when it’s winter and -40 degrees outside you can always check the web sites online. You might be able to find a bargain online. Indies usually have more affordable rates and so there might be more bang for your buck. Check Calgary craigslist escorts, online directories and Calgary Escorts at this web site here.
Amsterdam may seem like a big city, but it’s not that big. As a tourist you will be able to cover most city attractions in a few days. The tram transit is very efficient. Get one of those 15 box tickets; it might be all that you’ll need if you’re just staying for few days. Transportation is pretty inexpensive in Amsterdam. From airport you’ll get to Centraal Station which is the main station where all trams go. It’s a good starting point when trying to get somewhere. If you would like to spend some time with the city, and if you’re not messing around too much in coffee shops, get a bike. Once you start learning the city, if you’re walking to get to places you’re probably going too slow.
How to: Adult Entertainment in Amsterdam
Two words for our fans: Red Light District. Wait… that’s three words. Right, my mind is all messed up
Not only will you see adult entertainment everywhere around this district, but you will see far more than that. Sex shops, live sex shows, window girls, coffee shops, and crowds of tourist gazing with amazement. If you’re a fan of adult entertainment in general and sex tourism, Amsterdam is probably one of the great highlights. Why is that, I will explain shortly.
Prostitution is legal in Netherlands. Soft drugs are also legal in Holland. There are other laws that are very flexible in Netherlands; it’s one of the first countries that allowed euthanasia. These laws have made Amsterdam the center of universe when it comes to party, girls and pot. Not surprisingly, these are pretty common topics among partyers and we all know there are a LOT of them. You will see that there are people from all around the globe in Amsterdam. Some are visiting and others are local Amsterdamers who live here or have come to work here temporarily. English is spoken by almost everyone; Dutch people speak great English too. Fun.
If you’re visiting Red Light District make sure you go around the evening, sometime after 7pm. If you go earlier you won’t really see anything. I think evening to midnight is probably the best time to go here. Although it’s generally safe in this area, I feel more comfortable roaming around in a new city when there are more people out. And there will be lots, pooners and tourists! I read in guide books that police doesn’t go in random side roads so keep that in mind, especially if you’ve decided that you want to have some fun in ‘coffee shops’ or drink and then hit the red neon-lit streets.
I am not sure if you’re a fan of 411 and the “any type of adult fun”, but I think it’s a spectacular experience. If you haven’t tried it before, I highly recommend it. The best part of all is that you won’t need to feel paranoid about anything.
Finding Escorts in Amsterdam
This is probably going to be the easiest thing ever. Once you enter red light district you will see window girls everywhere. Where you find escorts is really going to be a matter of preference and budget.
I don’t overspend on accommodation and whenever I go to Amsterdam I stick to B&B or a nice hostel. They are usually good enough. The fun happens outside, either in Red Light District or other venues. Usually, its all in RLD. So that is me: tight budget, some exploring during the day and RLD at night. However, others with deeper pockets can get a hotel, find a girl online and all that. I’m sure there are plenty of options.
Red Light District in Amsterdam: Field Report
Red Light District is pretty big for what it is, in my opinion. You might find it confusing how the canals work, but once you figure it out it’s actually quite easy. Once you think that it’s over, you’ll see more red neon, more fun.
This part of town is also the oldest part of town, which makes it kind of cool to walk around.
There used to be this corner which kind of looked like a bottleneck where pooners were waiting to get in. Once you got in there what to see… More neon; a fancy walkway about half a meter wide with amazing window girls in both sides. You’ll get good glances here…
The girls in busier streets were as impressive for me, although there are exceptions. Girls in busier streets usually seem to be the more experienced types who have been around for a little while. No need to disrespect, of course; I do have a pretty specific taste, and I have a story for this. “I visited red light district two nights in a row and after few hours of roaming around, I picked the same girl during both nights. This might be a coincidence since I wouldn’t have chosen to do this, but it may also have to do with my very specific taste”.
I found that the younger girls are usually in smaller and less busier streets. By less busier I don’t mean that there will be less pooners. Oh no… pooners will be everywhere where red neon is. I’m not sure why this is, perhaps cheaper space to rent and more affordable for younger SP’s with less experience. Once you learn these little streets and corners, you’ll find it pretty rewarding. There are girls from all around the world including those blonde girls, possibly with russian or eastern europian descent, that are so pretty that you just won’t believe your eyes. Quite humorous how I could hear wow’s of other people who were just stunned by the girls that they were looking at. Mine was the hungarian girl who was in her early 20’s, absolutely georgeus, 50 euro. I was expecting to pay more for this little expensive city. As I’ve mentioned I ended up meeting the same girl again by accident; another 50 euro and another terrific experience. Will go back and post another report!
Vancouver is not a very big city. Transportation is okay around the city. Buses run every 5-10 minutes in most stops around downtown. Skytrain is also very good way to get around. Most of Vancouver escorts are located around Vancouver downtown or around skytrain stations. If you are new to Vancouver, downtown would probably be the best area to stay in. It can get pretty expensive if you’re staying in hotels, but there are more affordable options as well a little farther from downtown Vancouver. The best time to visit Vancouver is during the summer around June to September. Vancouver is very multi-cultural. You will find a bit of everything: restaurants from all countries around the world, lots of sushi or your favorite Starbucks, nice scenery and a pretty diverse and open minded culture.
Finding Escorts in Vancouver
Vancouver Escorts Ads
Prostitution is illegal in Canada, however, it is said that many agencies are left alone if they pay some pretty hefty fees as businesses. I haven’t personally used any of these agencies, but I have heard of them and know that they offer some services; typical places are Swedish Touch in Vancouver or many of the agencies advertised in your local newspaper. Some of these places are pretty expensive so be prepared if you’re visiting them. I would suggest calling beforehand. Yellow pages is another source where lots of escort ads are available.
Escorts and agencies do not advertise openly in Vancouver, but a good way to find these places is to look in one of your local newspapers. Georgia Straight or Westender can be found anywhere around downtown Vancouver and is probably a good source with plenty of ads. There is a pretty wide gay culture in Vancouver and is concentrated around Davie street. There are plenty of gay bars and pubs in this area and of course the gay paper which is also a source of escort ads if you’re interested in them.
If you are looking for something more affordable you should be able to check ads in Craigslist or use internet to find Vancouver independent escorts. Check perb.ca; they have some details and hints on the agencies, girls and how to find them. Check some of our partners. Also, check our page for Vancouver Independent Escorts; there are many spinner indies in our page.
It is a good idea to avoid street workers in sketchy places and you might want to be somewhat cautious if you’re using some online ads. Chances of caught with the whole illegality thing are higher on the street than discreet places. Street workers around Seymour and Richards street can be pretty good. Some of these girls are pretty attractive and often about 20 or early 20’s. Try to avoid downtown eastside if possible. Downtown eastside is not recommended for anyone; there are a lot of drug users, homelessness and sketchyness around that area and yes prostitution as a result as well. I have heard of high risk of infections going on in this area so it is up to you. You may be able to find cheaper services and possibly young attractive girls, but it is likely that they are under some kind of influence… Not my thing. Read more below on how to have a great experience without disappointment
I think if everything is done professionally, it will be a good time. Remember, you always pay for SP’s time and everything else that happens is between two consenting adults. Give them a gift and you will be fine.
Quick terminology guide
Here a quick overview on terms that you’ll get to see often. Here is what these letters mean:
SW - service worker, SP - service provider, FS - Full service, Incall - you go to visit service worker, Outcall - service worker comes to visit you, BJ - oral, BBBJ - stands for bare back BJ or w/o protection, HH- half and half which is BJ followed by the rest, Greek - stands for anal, MSOG - stands for multiple orgasms, GFE - girlfriend experience involving a more personal and emotionally intimate experience, MPOS - multiple positions.
How to get that great experience with a Vancouver Escort
Vancouver is not a cheap city in general and the same goes for Vancouver escorts’ rates. So, you want to make sure you get a good bang for your buck. The experience that I had in Vancouver can vary quite a bit. You will have a lot of selection, very hot girls, many different nationalities and lots of girls. What you want to do though is have a great experience. Sometimes the great experience comes with a price, and other times with the right pick. When you’ve decided about the girl that you like, ask her questions, politely. Some prefer to not discuss too much detail, but you can ask to see if they are willing to give details you need. If something particular is important to you, it’s better to ask; Chances are that they won’t offer it voluntarily and especially after you’ve agreed on the terms.
Here is little checklist that has helped me with SP’s in Vancouver:
- Non-rushed is better: if you are paying for SP’s time then talk about what are you going to do during that time. It is a great experience to be in a relaxed and non-rushed atmosphere. Ask about it and listen to what you hear. They will always say it’s not rushed, but you should be able to tell if they want to be in a hurry. Before giving the gift, bring this up a few times to let them know that you’ll really want ALL that time the time you’re agreeing on.
- GFE is more intimate: does your SP offer a girlfriend experience? GFE often comes with a higher price, but some SP’s offer this at the same rate, and some will let you know that they don’t offer it. It doesn’t hurt to ask if this is something you would like. When you’ve both taken a shower, GFE can be funner and more intimate. It’s definitely nicer when all the fun is not fake and just to get it over with. Some SP’s will not like to do this because kissing, cuddling and whatever is involved, is more emotional than they want it to be.
- Rates are negotiable: Escort rates in Vancouver range from around CAD $80 (on the street and perhaps in more remote areas like Surrey, Coquitlam, New Westminster…) to CAD $120-$180 per HH or 45 minutes (decent incall locations often featuring asian hotties) to CAD $200-$300 per hour (standard hour rates for top girls) Most escorts, not just Vancouver escorts, don’t like to be low-balled, of course. I noticed, however, that rates are often negotiable. It often depends how you meet the escorts and when. Rates are more negotiable with independent escorts and on the street than if it’s an agency. Rates are not as relaxed as in Bangkok where they tell you to pay what you want and avoid talking money; What I usually do is offer what you think they deserve, keeping in consideration the standard rates that you see during your shopping. To make sure that you have a better time, possibly, you can remind them that you may tip depending on performance. Most will ignore this promise, but some will actually provide a better service.
- Special services discussed beforehand: an absolute must ask. If you need to have GFE ask if it’s included; if you want MPOS or MSOG ask again. I don’t want to say that SP’s will avoid giving more than you ask; some actually want to have repeat customers and offer terrific service for this reason. However, chances are that once the agreement is made, any additional request may cost you extra. To give you a better picture, here is a list of these potentially additional services: MSOG, MPOS, Greek, GFE, taking your time, BBBJ, travel time to your location (even if you’re driving). In general, if you talk to your SP about what you want your expectations are during the time together, everything will usually be fine.
- Check pulse for possible ripoff: I hate to warn anyone about this, but yes there are SP’s who do not take pride in what they do, and yes there are ripoffs. If your SP seems like she’s agreeing with all odd requests that you have then there might be something wrong. Do not hand them the gift until you feel comfortable enough to do so. I heard stories where SP took the gift, stepped out of the hotel room saying she will be back and she never returned. Another type of ripoff is a random time waster type who may avoid fulfilling your requests or will make things difficult for you. This is a risk that you take in every city not just Vancouver and my best advice is go with your gut feel. If you find her suspicious then just pass.
General etiquette with Vancouver Escorts
Usually gift is expected upfront. This is common in Western cities in North America and even Europe, Amsterdam; its different from Asia, escorts in Bangkok, Pattaya. Probably the reason is because… there is more value being exchanged. There may be a few cases where gift is not expected upfront. This is good news for pooners; it means you’re going to have a great time.
Discretion and privacy is just common sense for both parties involved. You don’t want to be a part of any trouble. If any of it escalates into anything legal, my advice is just don’t.
After the meet and greet you or your SP may get a little physical. This seems like a gesture to ensure that both parties are real and actually offering a server or seeking a service. Again, this must have to with the fact that whatever happens is between two consenting adults. Apparently busts are not going to happen if you get a bit physical prior to agreeing on anything? Who knew… Useful tip, however.
Escort locations in Vancouver
Downtown Vancouver is generally more expensive. Kingsway, Richmond, and New West and other more remote areas are a bit cheaper, possibly for similar quality of service.
From my experience in Vancouver, there are plenty of underground-like agencies that offer deals ranging from $120-$180 for a 45 minutes. Craigslist has many of these ads, often with attractive slim girls, many of them Asian but not necessarily, providing great services. I went to a few of these places and I was offered a shower with the girl, GFE, MSOG if it works, for a 45 min special. I think this is a great deal and the experience was pretty memorable. You may want to try one of these.
As I said before, avoid Hastings street. You’re likely to find drug users, possibly underage, and the place is filled with cops; last thing you want is to get in some kind of legal trouble.
Seymour and Richard are known streets in Vancouver for better looking girls; check these streets crossing Helmcken or Nelson. This area is where they usually hangout. Prices range from $100 to $200. I’m not a street person so I never picked any of them, but some seem pretty hot. If you walk around you’ll get a nice close look at them and you can chit chat if you like. Guys, I hear, are around Davie and Drake; by the way Davie is definitely a gay street with many gay pubs and clubs. You may have to get a room somewhere which is another $35-$40 if you’re not in a nearby hotel.
Pattaya is a smaller city, about a couple of hours drive from Bangkok on the coast side. If you are flying to Bangkok and you like gogo’s I would recommend spending some time here. See our Bangkok escorts blog if you haven’t already. There is an easy way to get a ride from Bangkok if you’re staying at Dynasty Inn. They have a free transfer van ride from this hotel to Dynasty Inn in Pattaya. I think the catch is that you have to stay in this hotel and have to pay if you’re coming back to Bangkok. It works out perfectly, because Dynasty Inn is a a lot better in Pattaya. Also, I decided to go budget, coach bus, on the way back and I think it cost me around 30 Baht :-).
Transportation on Pattaya is a little different than in Bangkok. There are not many legit cabs in Pattaya, especially around the coast in South Pattaya. There are lots of one way streets, so there are these pickup taxis that charge you about 20-30 Baht to go 7 or 8 blocks. If you’re around walking street area, you’ll have plenty of bars to see and everything is in close proximity. Not very far from Pattaya is Koh Samet, a really beautiful island with spectacular beaches. I’d recommend visiting this place, especially if you want to get away from the city and enjoy some privacy and amazing beaches.
Pattaya and Sex Tourism
Walking Street in Pattaya
Pattaya is smaller than Bangkok and sex tourism, in my opinion, is a bigger deal here than in Bangkok. There are escort girls in Pattaya and there are lots of them. A lot of the girls come from rural regions of Thailand like Isaan.
If you are new to Pattaya, the beach side should probably be where everything happens. Starting from Soi 1st and all the way to Walking Street you will find a variety of bars, hotels, and restaurants.
Walking Street is where it all happens when it comes to adult entertainment venues. There is neon and hot girls everywhere. It is a stunning party atmosphere, tatooes, lust for flesh and tourists gazing with amazement. Not all girls you see around are “on the job”, but a big portion of them are. I guess when the time comes, you will already know. Walking street also has the majority of the Gogo’s, beer bars, live show venues and anything adult you can think of. It becomes really nice to walk around around 9-10 pm. You don’t need to get in a gogo right away. I’d recommend just walking around first, maybe grabbing a drink at a random patio where there is no pushy and buy me a lady-drink vibe. Depending on where you go, you will have this experience and although it’s usually not expensive, it is a great way to waste cash. I liked Pattaya and wanted to stay here, and for this reason I would prefer to not waste money unless I’m getting some real value for it. All in all, Pattaya is cheap, much cheaper than Bangkok.
About escorts in Pattaya
I think the gift for the girl would be around 1000 Baht for the night. Bar fines are also much cheaper than Bangkok, perhaps up to 500 Baht. What about the girls?
Pattaya girls
There are a lot of them, so I could find some of the best. You won’t be disappointed. However, in my opinion, the places around walking street are a great time and have beautiful girls. But, I found this small tiny place around Soi 7th, where a real cutie waitress was sitting there. Her cousin mentions that she just came to the city and is trying this new thing. Yes, yes, that’s what they all say, but this was real.
The little tip is that if you try to find something that hasn’t been ‘out there’ very long, then you might want to try walking around a a bit farther from Walking Street and you might find a gem. Just be careful not to get ripped off. If a place looks suspicious just walk past it; there are lots of other places. Another good thing about checking Soi’s is that you could be doing that during the day, before the evening. By the time the party starts you will have your bar fine payed and the girl with you as your companion. I’m sure everyone has a different selection style. I prefer to have the girl with me all day, have someone to go dinning with and have someone go to club with me.
Not to leave a bitter taste, but I must say this: Safe sex only. Girls in bars are said to be checked regularly and are generally safer than those not working in bars. However, Pattaya has a higher number of HIV infections and most of the time it is because of unsafe sex. If you don’t want to spoil your vacation or your life, stick to safe sex! This advice should, of course, not be for tourists only, but everyone involved.
Bars and Clubs in Pattaya
Pattaya has really good bars and clubs if you know where to find them. I was in a few discos and clubs here that were so nice, very likely nicer than many clubs in the West. If you’re a fan of exotic girls, tatoos and a lot of skin, you will love the clubs here. For a detailed list go check the official list at pattayacity.com
Some of the places that I really liked were Lucipher and Tony’s. I’m sure there are more. I will keep you updated once I’m back to Pattaya.
Bangkok is probably one of the most popular places when it comes to adult entertainment. It is cheap compared to western cities, entertainment venues are endless and nightlife is incredibly vibrant. The number of places is too great for one person to catalogue. However, there are districts that are a bit bigger. For a brand new tourist I would recommend a few of these places. Perhaps it’s a good idea to start with something smaller. You get to learn a few hints. You want to make sure that you are not broke after just a few days; this is not to scare you, but there are places that I consider a rip-off. Especially if you’re new, you’re likely to over-pay or not get the right bargain right away. For this reason I would start with a low-key district that is not very popular with tourists.
Our online lists for Bangkok are not big and there are too many girls in Bangkok, but there are a few spinners there too, with ‘western rates’; I’m sure you’ll figure something out in that regard. Check RateYourEscort’s Bangkok escorts online page for these listings.
New to Bangkok…
Beautiful Thailand
If you haven’t been to Bangkok before, make sure that you have the hotel name written in Thai as well as English. You want to avoid having your cab driver send you to a different hotel. This happens a lot. The story is simple: the cab driver sends you to a hotel and gets a commission for it, but that may not be your hotel at all. I already knew this drill, and I was still sent to the neighbor hotel, which was about 3 times nicer. I even tipped the cab driver well. Who knew! Nothing is scary here, just get the hotel right.
If you’re looking for escorts, bar-girls, adult entertainment, and you’re a first timer, there are a few more things you need to know. I’ll start with the positive news first. The girls are much nicer than the girls in the West. I have read stories where people got robbed in their hotel room got mugged or simply had a bad time with a girl. However, most of the time, this is not the case. If you’ve been looking for a girlfriend experience, this will be it. Let’s put it this way: I was able to get a girl for the whole day and night for $40. Not only will they be your girl, girlfriend, escort, but they will also be your best city guide, friend, attractive companion, money saver, and literally your butt saver. I went out to a great nightclub in Bangkok, had my face stuffed with cheap Thai whiski, got drunk and was brought to the hotel by my companion. I can’t say I wasn’t paranoid, nervous about expense surprises, or worried of being ditched and lost somewhere random in Bangkok. It is a good precaution to be careful and pay attention, but I got away with visiting a bunch of places with no map, nothing on me other than my hotel keys, cash, and a hotel card. My point is, no matter what you think about these people that you meet, please be respectful to them. If you can afford to tip them, because they were so great, do it. Have a nice dinner with them. They know some of the best Thai food places since they have more income than an average Thai person. So what is going to cost you, $20 for the two of you for a full course meal? Big deal! You will also have a better anyway.
Red light districts Bangkok in general
If this is the first time you’ve been in Bangkok, there are many things that you want to watch for. Common sense precautions that every traveler takes are a necessity. Although I never find Bangkok to be a very dangerous city, it is smart to not be a “target”. There are a lot of tourists and you’re not that noticeable. Just don’t look lost, confused and new. People are more likely to take advantage of you if you play the new guy. So if you find that cool, then you will just end up paying more J. Blending in and enjoying will probably be the best thing for you.
Another thing that I would recommend is to try and stay away from lady-boys / katooeys. They are usually pushy, wear lots of make up, fake and accented breasts. Some of them can look like girls so just keep an open eye for that. They usually start roaming around later at night. I have heard of incidents where they get too pushy and even violent, although luckily I never had to deal with this. If you’re already with a girl, you’re less likely to have any incidents, because they are your butt saver right?
One more last thing, please avoid dark or not properly lit places. You want to at least be able to read the name of the place. I heard about scams and you don’t want those.
Soi Cowboy red light district, Bangkok
This is a good place to start. This place is more laid back and doesn’t have a pushy atmosphere. Service and prices are cheaper than some other places. You may not be able to find top spinners here, but I would definitely recommend this place if you are new to this thing in Bangkok. You can start learning the “ways” here:negotiating, bar fines, ST, LT and finding your top bang for the buck. I don’t think this place will be a disappointment at all. It’s always a good warm-up, even for experienced tourists.
There are about 50 places here, so quite a bit of selection. Beer is about 150 Baht. Bar fines are from 500 Baht. I wouldn’t pay more than 1000 for BF, but you might find something irresistible with higher BF. I wouldn’t advise getting drunk. Have a drink or two max, see what you have to see and move on to the next great place. The more of these places you see the better.

Nana Plaza, Bangkok
This is also a good place at night, also laid back. Prices can be a little higher, but there are lots of places that you might want to check here. I wasn’t quite impressed with the selection here. Also, I noticed a lot of older men with really young girls. That sight was a bit unattractive, no offense if you’re into that. The girls in the disco were too young and yes that’s great, but being in my 30’s I wasn’t very much into it. There is a hotel nana which is a terrible place. Maybe I got a bad room, but I would just not go there again. Having a smoking room was enough, let alone shape of that place and no locker. If you want to stay around this place for cheap you could try Dynasty Inn. This place is okay. By the way, there is another Dynasty Inn in Pattaya. Dynasty in Bangkok has some kind of free transfer to Pattaya Dynasty. I have no idea if there was a catch, but I do remember that Dynasty in Pattaya is about 5 times better, and Pattaya’s nightlife strikes me as amazing. Read my new blog on Pattaya. It is worth knowing about this amazing place.
Nana Entertainment Plaza
Patpong red light district
Patpong
This is where the experience crowd should go. There is too much to absorb and there are stunning hot girls. It is located between Silom and Surawong. It is probably the most uncontrolled place in Southeast and possible the whole world when it comes to adult industry. It is the most visited place in Bangkok. It is an amazing place not only for those involved in this industry, but also for tourists who come to gaze on shiny neon and experience one of the most unique places in the world. It is a must see for everyone, maybe a bit overwhelming for fresh tourists. As I said earlier, try to get familiar with your surroundings and culture by visiting a couple of beer bars. Prices in Patpong are going to be significantly higher, but girls are miraculous and it’s something you’ve probably never seen before.
Phuket
Patong Beach
If you are looking for a party and night life, the biggest scene is probably around Patong Beach in Phuket. This is not a very long walking street, but it is packed with bars, nightclubs and girls everywhere. There are plenty of aussie bars if you like to watch a game. Visit Tiger and Hollywood nightclubs. They are open until very late and if you’re tired of looking around the bars, do not worry — there are plenty of girls in all nightclubs and many of them are freelancers. Some of them prefer to not be working in a bar. That could be a good thing, however, you have to be careful like with all the girls. My experience was actually a lot better with a freelancer than with one of the bar girls.
