$300 is a very high rate in Bangkok.  But, it depends on where you source providers.  RM of course will have the highest rates & only a couple foreigners (Americans) there asking $300.  Most on RM are $120-$200.  On other apps, the average is more like $65 -$100.  I typically don’t like to source from the “apps”, but in Bangkok that’s how it’s done, especially on Hornet.
In the massage shops it’s even less, but then you’re dealing with a charge for a “massage” and either a minimum tip or whatever you negotiate. The most straightforward massage shop I found was Arena - Silom adjacent.  

The real difference in Bangkok re; rates is if you’re paying for an hour or two of sex or a massage with some sex.  

Thanks! Very insightful. How were the guys on Hornet when you used it there? I'm not expecting RM caliber, but wondering if they would still appeal to a lot of people from this forum.

There are two earlier threads about him, both with speculation and neutral to positive opinions on his ad, but no one reporting any meet-ups.

Thanks! where's this thread? I tried searching for his name here but got zilch. What name did he use prior?

in Bangkok, there is sex available in almost every context - massage shops (most with extras), gogo bars (where is the business model is to take guys off-site), saunas (not rentboy saunas) host bars, & dozens of providers available online through various sites.

no other city has all those options - not even close imo 

What's the rate in Bangkok  for providers like since there's a bunch of them? Is it still like around $300 USD?

Sometimes I do,  sometimes not.    As an escort,  I never equate  getting off with having a good time.   I almost always have a great time with a client.    

If I have multiple clients in a day,  it helps not to get off,  honestly.   There are some clients that prefer that their escort gets off with them,  but for others, it is about the service to them and their satisfaction.    I think its great to get off.    I don't think I ever think of it as an obligation.    

That is true. The point is that clients should be upfront with expectations and what they want out of the service. Some clients prefer no sex at all. If a client wants to experience a guy cumming on them, then they should be upfront with it, so the provider would know if he'd be able to provide that.

I totally understand that funds can be limited for many. My question is, that I've heard hiring a woman as an escort has fees substantially higher. Starting over $500 and well  into the thousands. I'm not aware of straight men squabbling over the women's fees but then again I'm never on straight female hooker sites with horny men chiming in.

Is pussy that much more of a draw that a straight man will pay many many times more than what a gay man would pay and not complain? I've known of men meeting women online and flying across the country to meet her. Gay men say driving 10 minutes is too far. Other action is closer. So what is it in the difference of the straight male brain and the gay male brain that the breeder puts a substantial amount more into a woman than a gay will of another gay?

Just like anything else in business, it's supply vs demand.

no city in Europe compares to Bangkok - that’s in a league of its own.  If someone is looking for that type experience, they will be disappointed.  

the best overall European cities for providers imo are Barcelona & Madrid, lots of options & reasonable rates.  London is there too, but with rates generally higher than Spain.  

what your experience with Bangkok like? Care to share?

Where there's pretty much a plenty, and laws against it is not really enforced?

If you want him to cum, tell him way ahead of time, so he can schedule you accordingly.

Who picks the music? I might not care for "Hey Jude" or "Stairway To Heaven", but I want a value!

Pro Tip: "Taylor Swift's "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" debuted at #1, making it the longest song to ever hit the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100."

...how many different clients do you schedule back-to-back bookings where you're explicitly asked ahead of time to cum during the meet up?

He has no reviews on RM. Anyone here hired him?

For example, when you ask a provider if they top or bottom, do you ask them that through chat messaging (eg, on RM, Whatsapp, regular text, etc.) or is this something you ask verbally via phone/video so there's no written trail to keep things more safe?

Even if it means not going to PSP to begin with?

Visiting a new city right now. I was planning on hiring a provider I've been eyeing the past couple of days. But I got a message on Grindr from someone who's a 7/10 and still turns me on. Turned me on after doing a live video with him naked. I opted to pursue him instead. And to clarify, this guy was not average looking. A rating of 7 or higher is hot in my book. Best of all, I find it hot when the guy wants me for my looks.

Those who've experienced something similar, what have you done in the past where you only got to choose one of the two options? (Let's say choosing both was not an option)

EDIT: clarification

My two cents. Try to find out if there are other venues for then to advertise in Asia where they are. RM is not that popular in all countries, as there are other websites and means of advertising, especially in Asian countries where there seems to be an entire economy around this type of service. Try finding local info online and see if there are other websites.

What other websites are there in addition to RM? I searched their RM name but there was not much results other RM.

Totally different Grindr San Antonio experience…I got hit on immediately by 6-8 young Latinos….unfortunately my biz schedule had me 100% booked up…when I finally tried to meet up with one they were now 40 miles away and not at work in downtown!

40 miles away from San Antonio makes me think that he's in Austin by that time.

Provider has 3 five-star reviews on RM. However, he has no reviews elsewhere in the web. He has a 411 thread here in our forum, but it's pretty blank. 

He's in the Southeast Asia area (Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, etc)

How likely are you to hire this guy? Or would you nope out?

Mostly Japanese. Mid 20s to mid 40s. 

In my experience, the "song and dance" problem is limited to US bathhouses. European,  Asian, and Latin American saunas are a lot more open and friendly. 

Can you elaborate on the "song and dance" you've experienced in the US?
