When a Bangkok Freelancer Asked for Double My Midnight Incident | Free Talk

I met a freelancer around 1 AM in the hotel lobby near Nana Plaza. When I mentioned short time, her expression changed, and at first, she quoted the agreed price, but once we entered the room, she suddenly started talking about extra costs. While I was discussing handplay, she awkwardly brought up other options and raised the price.

When I asked for an explanation, she kept changing her story, saying it was 'tax', and in the end, I stepped out of the room to gather my things. Honestly, I wanted to just leave immediately without any hassle, but walking out, I felt really bad. Next time, I think it's better to choose from a member club or gogo bar instead of freelancers near Thermae or hotels.

By the way, if you walk around the LK Metro gogo building, there are many eco girls and places with transparent pricing, so considering cost performance, that area is less of a headache. But sometimes it’s just luck; if someone seems off, get up right away even if it’s a hassle, before you get a blister...

Man, that sucked had almost the same Houdini trick happen to me once near Nana; smiley in the lobby, different story upstairs. I usually bail too, no point arguing over changing terms in the room, just grab my stuff and dip way less hassle than a scene or wasted time. Next trip I stick to bars or the club scene where the prices and rules are clear, makes the night feel more worth it lol.

Tried that same play in Nana, smiley then switcheroo. I also just grabbed bag and left, no point making fuss; bars or club where price board clear is easier. In Chiang Mai I stick to old city spots or vetted massage places not tourist trap areas feels more chill, less drama.

A few days ago, I encountered a similar situation. Near Nana, it's easy to get pulled into a storyline in the hotel corridor at night. The way you described it, where they change the terms as soon as you get to the room, is a typical bait-and-switch or temporary price increase tactic. It's right to just walk away and not get caught up in it. Last time, my friend also had the terms changed in that area. Later, we changed our habit: either confirm everything clearly at the bar first or go to places with clear pricing to save a lot of trouble. By the way, I went to Sena nuru massage last time, and the experience was quite solid. It's not far from the hotel, and occasionally going to such places feels safer than picking someone up off the street.

Well, that's the worst. There are quite a few freelancers around Nana that fit that pattern. I had a similar experience before and left immediately when they asked for something different than what was discussed. A friend who tried Poseidon Entertainment Complex said, "It's easier to avoid weirdos near the hotel," so if you can't finalize an agreement right in front of the hotel, it might not be a bad idea to go there instead (thailandnightlife.net/shop/bangkok/ratchada/nuru-b2b/poseidon-entertainment-complex). Next time, it's better for your mental health to pay the bar fine and choose a gogo or member type instead. Take care.
