Advice For A Country Bumpkin

[sunbunny]

As I'm planning a temporary move out of the South East Forums for an evening, I'd be grateful for some advice/clarification.  I've got an unexpected couple of days in London early next month. I wasn't involved in Punting when I lived and worked in London up until a few years ago so I'm not at all up to speed with the current scene.  My preferences lean very much towards Asian Girls (ideally under 30ish and not too enhanced up top) and I'm looking for probably a 2 hour Incall in Central London (north of the river, south of Euston Road) on a budget of around £300.  After an extensive trawl of recent posts, I get the impression that the preferred option is to use an Agency (not something we usually use in deepest Hampshire) because you get what you see (even if what you see is 5+ years out of date) and the prices are fairly standard.  The "reliable" ones appear to be:

Olina Oriental Escort
Invasian Escorts
Asian Selection
Sexy Asian Escorts
Asian Options

with the last 2 being much less favoured by some.  Most of the likely girls seem to feature on more than one site under various guises.

At the moment I'm leaning towards Olina because it appears slightly more professional?

Have I read things correctly or is there a magical better option to avoid this country lad being fleeced in the Big City??

Thanks.

PM Bill Goldberg - from what I can tell he is something of an expert on the Asian market in London.

For what it is worth, I think you have limited your options before you start and could be disappointed if you do not widen your search.

General opinion has been that the Asian market in London has been overpriced and poor value for years - agency all the more so.  I have never used an agency so weigh my opinion accordingly - the auspices are uninspiring.  The Thai cartel that was holding prices at £150 ph collapsed at the end of last year - I guess because their offer had just got unsustainable.  So you will get a far better experience and value if you are prepared to shop more broadly, by which I mean do NOT punt Asians.   

Poles and Hungarians can offer outstanding value.  Reading the reviews of fuckers who have contributed a lot of reviews here may give you both a sense of those whose tastes match your own and some top tips for a potential booking.  Few girls can be booked reliably in advance, so look out for those that can, keep an eye on their working pattern for a couple of weeks before your visit and have a handful of options to chose from.

If that's true why haven't all the prices dropped from £150 an hour?

It's not my scene but I did used to enjoy occasionally but the thai scene went right down hill around 2 or 3 years ago I think... I wasn't too close but something definately happened and there were some raids / busts I think possibly political pressure from both from westminster and bangkok has put an end to the steady supply of talented women we used to enjoy... before that there was also some price fixing amongst the agencies i heard about threats being made etc... it was a close knit scene...

i think there are some women left who can be relied upon if you do your research but they aint lookers if you ask me...

the thai scene used to attract certain kinds of punters most of which wouldnt be tolerated around her i don't think...

ive only ever used invasion (who were very reliable and professional for a long time but i dont know about now) and asian super models (now gone and a bit dodgy) and another well dodgy firm who's name I forget.

punting in london is generally quite deflated at the moment across all scenes.

Follow your instincts and ignore some of the more duff advice offered. The Thai military government have introduced some draconian laws back home and provided unprecedented cooperation with the Met to root out people traffickers and controllers. Many prominent London Thai agencies closed due to several high profile court cases in 2014. No such thing as a Thai cartel as they are not as organised criminally as their Mandarin cousins. Just small chains of greedy grubby people in London and Bangkok trying to exploit Thai sex workers looking to get rich quick. Plummeting exchange rates and legal complications are pushing the astute Thai girls into new markets nearer home. The market rate here has been £150 PH for a number of years and has never varied. Pretty good VFM with the right Thai SP as you get more bang for your buck compared to other Asians. Olina is your best option and you can have a sensible chat with Danny without any of the usual BS. Chloe at SAE is marmite with the Thai punters, I don't like her self opinionated arrogance but she runs a tidy ship. You can ignore the rest who are too flaky by far. Thai punters are no better or worse as a group compared to others. The scene has enjoyed something of a renaissance this year following a barren spell of almost two years noted more for forced departures than fresh talent. Overall a good time to dip your toe and whatever else you fancy into the London Thai scene.

somTumfucker, well that's a bold start and we will all be better off if you can back it up with some detail and reviews, although I am not quite sure why you are talking about Thai "punters".  Seems like a slip of the tongue - you're not a pimp by any chance?

If that's true why haven't all the prices dropped from £150 an hour? 

I am only guessing based on reading here and scanning AW new profiles in my vacinity.  It is a market I actively avoid but I'd hazard far fewer Thai girls working in London in the past 18 months.  I haven't seen the boiler-plate "I take it up the ass - you fuckee me long time - $10" ("or £150 ph - means tested and index linked, adjusting for inflation and foreign exchange charges") profile in over a year now and the number of Thai reviews also seems  to have dropped.  No fall off in demand I suspect but the sounds about quality and value were ominous for years.  There has been a steady stream of Chinese profiles with veri pics recently - well below £150ph.

Thank you for all the replies - very helpful.

I'd like to see that crowd off pro$$inet set up camp here. LMAO.

Only been with one Thai wg and she didn't like her head being touched, is that standard?

In Thailand, it's considered disrespectful to touch a person's head.
Not sure how the WGs manage to accommodate face fucking

This External Link/Members Only or External Link/Members Only caught my eye this morning.  I have seen a lot more of this kind of profile in the last three months.

First - notice the price and the service list - £110 ph including CIM, OWO and hardsports although penetration is not mentioned (?). I think the Thai's specifically and Asian's in general priced themselves out of the market.  We are now starting to see profiles with a more realistic price point, although some are still trying to take the piss and, as you can read above, there are still people trying to talk up the market or defend the price point....

Whatever nationality this girl is - she isn't Japanese.  Whatever she says it is very unlikely you will meet someone of Japanese origin.

Third, look at how old she is.  She is advertising as 23; if you look closely at the verification picture and the middle picture from her public profile you can she is much older than that (I suggest early 40's) but she is cleverly blending (very) old and recent photos while wearing exactly the same outfit. 

So I am still avoiding Asian profiles until the value becomes much clearer.

I think this photo might have been taken 20 years ago

and this is going to be a much closer approximation of the girl you will actually meet.
