Just got back to the hotel from Patong. Did a lap around Soi Seadragon tonight and got played. Started with a couple drinks at the fishbowl strip, a few girls came over all smiles, then I got pulled into a second-floor room. We agreed on short time but when the bill came the price had switched to long time rates the full setup, totally felt like a bait-and-switch. Even veterans step on mines sometimes, seriously frustrating.
The whole street is loud, full of music and oil smells, busy and touristy. The soapy massage and slippery oil massage places look tempting with their full-service pitch, but the situation changes fast on the ground and the value is all over the place. Next time I'll be sharper about the bill, not trusting smiling faces from street touts, and if I hear "Asok all-in" type talk anywhere I'll keep my guard up too. Lesson learned the hard way.
