any gogo bar, look at your bill every time they bring it to you.

also, if you buy lady drinks, pay attention and make it clear that when her friends, the waitron, and the mamasan across the room all try to pile on for an 'and one', you're only buying for the one(s) you specified. nothing wrong with spraying cash, just make sure you aim at it at yr intended target(s)

when you buy a lady drink, you may want to let your hands roam. besides the (relatively) cheap thrill of getting a finger up, you find out a lot. for one thing, if she's ok with it, she's more likely to be fun. also, you can check the smell. fishy usually means yeast or bacteria (i forget which). most Thai girls smell very clean down there even when they're all self conscious about not having showered for several hours.

the girls are human, but they are also on the game. don't be a dick, also don't be a white knight. have fun, be a bit cheeky, and treat 'em like humans. cheeky and nice are not incompatible.

most girls in gogos will give their Line if you don't want to barfine 'em just then. they can be.... erratic in responding.

don't fall in love with a bargirl. don't try to solve a girl's problems with cash, unless you hate having money. while their affection might well be real, if you want a 'real relationship' look elsewhere. lots of Thai girls who have never been on the game have their shit together.

if you do try to pick up girlies in shopping malls etc, assume they're normal girlies, and not on the game. don't worry if they're on the game they'll tell you. if they're not and you assume they are, that's a dick move. don't be a dick

This is excellent advice for a newbie!

I'm heading to Phuket in November and like you I have been doing research but bump into the same wall of out of date info.

After my trip I might be able to give you more up to date information as it will only be one month between when I was there and when you arrive.

From what I've gathered thus far I can answer a few questions.

Yes, there is th OTOP beer comples

There are also some in Soi Seadragon. the video below also shows beer bars but I can't pin point the place.

Depends on your definition of good. I've been reading prices of 2500 for ST and even 5k+

My personal fear is that yes there will be FL options but they will cost. And of course you'll be able to find a few that are sitting around 2500. But I keep reading about 5K. Will know more myself when I'm actually there.

I do hope you plan to do a lot of activities during the day. 10 days seems like a lot for Phuket if it's for mongering.
Unless there aren't any really budget constraints.

 

Thanks @CaribbeanDelight, this is helpful and I would definitely would like to get your thoughts after your trip.

10 days is long so I have plans for non mongering activities as well.

Hey all,

So I'm planning a solo trip to Phuket after New Years (I'm in Bangkok over Christmas and New Years) and need some advice on the current situation around the gogo bars, beer bars and freelancers in Patong. Some websites have advice on Phuket however it's outdated so just curious what the current situation is like now.

I'm planning to stay 10 nights in Phuket and I plan to stay at a hotel within walking distance to Bangla Road.

I know the scene isn't as good as Bangkok or Pattaya but I wanted to ask if anyone has travelled to Phuket recently for the mongering scene.

• Are there beer bars where you can barfine the ladies?
• What is the average barfine and cost for taking out girls out for short time or long time in the gogo bars and beer bars?
• Is the freelancer scene good for girls and what would be average prices to taking a freelancer?
• Is there any specific escort sites such as Smooci that anyone uses while in Phuket that is recommended or should I stick to Thaifriendly or dating apps?
  
  
  Thanks!
