Thai agency girls - is the standard £150 per hour rate about to change?

[soulmining]

I've been punting Thai girls in London for more than ten years now. Only a handful of times a year, and whilst agencies have come and gone, one thing has remained constant - the standard £150 per hour fee. I guess we've been lucky.

Today one of the new Thai agencies (miss69) has raised its prices for two of its girls - Cara and Kate - to £200 per hour, reportedly at the girls' request, citing inflation and increase in rent.

There's no denying inflation has hit all our pockets in recent years, but this sets a worrying precedent; will the other girls on their roster follow suit? And more importantly, will the other Thai agencies see this and also take this as their cue to raise prices for their star performers?

Obviously there are many Thai independents who already charge more than £150 per hour, but this is new for an agency (to the best of my knowledge) so what do you think - is this the start of a new pricing structure for the Thai agencies, and would you be prepared to swallow the price increase to see your favourite agency girl?

I seriously hope not! Am getting pretty fed up with the price gouging going on across industries at the moment - for some costs have genuinely gone up for others it’s just opportunistic to sneak in a rise in the current climate.

Bit off topic I know but it’s making me less tolerant of the price of punting going up. I’ve already abandoned the EE agencies where prices are now frankly silly especially with all the extras. I punt with Thai’s due to the lack of extras and decent rates along with decent service and a look I find attractive.

Could I “afford” to pay say £200ph? Yes…. Will I?…increasingly thinking no!

Yes the prices increasing but level of service going down in the current climate its difficult to find anyone decent, I’ve been travelling to Milton Keynes or using HOD

[tp69]

With Miss69 being new I'd imagine they won't have the punter liquidity that other agencies have, so they'll rely on AW and UKP heavily. It'd be interesting to know whether the increase to £200 still affords the girls enough bookings.

Personally I cap out at £150. I'd go to £200 but she'd have to be pretty special. Cara is damn cute and provides a great service, but I wouldn't pay £200 so she's out of range now.

[Royd30]

Seems they are putting out feelers to see if they can achieve their cut over and above the girls, with promises to the girls that the £150 would be theirs. Nice try it will only work if punters allow it. GREEDY F..K.RS.
As others have said it’s up to the individual what they are willing to pay, but positive reaction means the rest of us with a budget will suffer. Let’s hope there will be little or no takers at that new price.

[Jeffe]

Spotted on a review for April on Miss69 it just links through to one here. Olina also seem to link to positive reviews here too…..

So if you’re reading, ditch this price hike experiment!

[peter jb]

I guess agency taking a third, so girls only getting £100, whereas thru adultwork they get to keep all of the £150 . Assuming the agency aren’t running their adultwork profile .

I don’t reckon many that appear on AW are really independent. Note that’s a feeling rather than fact of course.

Assuming the 1/3 agency cut for the girl then although at £200 she stands to get £33 more per hour booking, but she risks her original £100 by punters voting with their feet. Will be interesting to see how this plays out

[Jeffe]

Or perhaps this will just create a tiering of prices. So some stay at the established £150 rate but some of the agency top performers shift up. Again hope not!

How much has your pay increased since 2013?

[Bartolomeo]

Kate Naughty Thai has also just put price up to £200 per hour

[blueruin]

it's been 150 an hour for almost 20 years, how many other prices have stayed like that? although the girls were probably better 20 years ago. can't say I'm a fan of this rise though.

[jamiekinkxxx]

I agree with some of the guys who have posted before me.

The £150ph for Thai girls has not moved in years and years.

Now I am not one for price increases for the sake of it and there are mahy an agency that have inflated proces in the last 12mths or so, but TBH I would not begrudge the Thai girls wanting to increase their prices after holding them at £150ph for so effing long.

[PilotMan]

If you use the UK official inflation figures over the past ten years, if the price was £150 in 2013, it would equate to £192 today.

So think of all the inflation busting punts you've had over the past ten years and put those savings towards your current punts.

I see April is now £170 an hour. It was £150 yesterday.

My first Diva/Barracuda EE punt was around 2004, the price then was £150/hr, if I recall correctly the Thai agencies were asking £120/140 at that time, circa 20 years ago.

Since 2004 the inflation rate is 61.57% - so £100 spending then would require £161.57 today.

If the Thai agency rate was £120 and it kept up with inflation, the price today should be £193.

Ridiculous isn't it along with Kate & Cara being bumped up to £200. Wanted to see those 3 but not paying £170 plus.

Ha ha, not disagreeing that inflation has occurred etc and without checking your maths in detail get the gist. I think I will simply vote with my feet if prices push up to £200 across the board. I could afford it but would choose not to pay. I think piling all these price increases on people across all facets of life at the same time is just too much. I suspect there is some price gouging as a result (both in and out of punting) and personally I’m a bit fed up with it

[blueruin]

well we are about to find out just how elastic or inelastic Thai pussy is.

I used to know one with the most elastic arsehole

The last line is a little unfair mate. I can't speak for others, but I'm not saying they aren't allowed to put their rates up, the market will determine that. For me, their new rates are simply above what I want to spend on an hour's entertainment. I set a cap for what I think is good value. Of course, if the girl really takes my interest, I'll probably blow the budget, but I haven't found too many in my area that get me excited enough to do so.

If they can maintain their income level on their new rates then more power to them. Cara is a honey, and I think she's quite smart, so it's good she's banging to her own drum

Not one person has stated that their wages haven't increased in the intervening decade or more, yet their moaning about recent SP price increases.

Would you accept the same wages that you were getting paid more than ten years ago? I Doubt it. So what's not fair is expecting SP's to be paid at a rate from ten years ago that you wouldn't accept.

Your also failing to acknowledge how good you've had it over intervening years when prices haven't increased. The prices now being charged are pro rata to what you were earning ten years ago. If your wages haven't increased then you should get a better job.

If your other costs have gone up and now you don't have enough disposable income to punt, then you should get a better job if you want to continue to punt. Or stop punting and stop whinging.

You could always join the movement - there's a rally coming to a town near you.

I didn’t whinge, nor did I begrudge them their increase, simple that they’ve moved beyond my budget.

BTW you’re making assumptions about income that are entirely off the mark. I spent about £7.5k on WG’s last year, I don’t need a new job, I’m very content.

[Mango_007]

sigh, i hope they dont go up. one of the reasons i've been dabliing with the Thai in the past year is that the price and service/experience ties up - in the main a Thai booking is pretty formalic and largely sex & go. I find the EE / brazilians are the same but are generally overpriced at 250 and have a similar service. Allbeit they are (in my opionion) usually prettier, but not enough to charge the extra £100 vs Thai.

English girls or girls that are fluent in english, i find are more expensive (300), but for me when i'm looking at those girls, i'm looking at more of an experiece / conversation - IvyRay or Victoria (Diva) for example are both FAF and can hold a decent conversation. And sometimes i like session that has a nice natter about nothing in particular.   

i am massively generalising here of course. Bascially,  if the Thais go up to £200, they are still cheaper then EE/Latin but for the extra £50 i could be doing a stunning girl as opposed to a cute Thai. But i wouldn't go as oftern as i've been in the last six months. As ever,  it's about staying within your budget & trading of your own view of price vs value.

Isn’t it more about vfm than actual price? So your arguments re. inflation and price etc are all fine and valid but for me I’d have to think if I “wanted” to pay £200 per hour rather than if I “could afford” to pay that. It’s perhaps inevitable that prices will (and by your logic should given inflation) go up, each of us then needs to choose our response - pay the new rate or vote with our feet

[Royd30]

Was going to book April today but price tag £170 over my budget. £150 and I would have booked. Am I the looser or is she. Who knows as said it’s what we are willing to pay as individuals but hope all the recent price hikes and service drop is not accepted or encouraged by the vast majority so we don’t feel or get ripped off. Just my point to share.

[soulmining]

I don't begrudge the price increase either, as I said, we've been lucky that the hourly rate has remained at £150 for so long - but with cost of living /energy costs / flight prices etc all skyrocketing, I'm not sure I can justify spending £200 for an hour's pleasure. I appreciate I only punt several times a year, but even so if this becomes the norm then I would need to adjust accordingly and cut back to maybe just once or twice a year as an indulgence.

[stewpid]

As unwelcome as it is I'm surprised all the Thai agencies haven't put up prices in the last year.

However, I recently saw April and it was a neutral experience at £150 (review to come) and certainly wouldn't take a chance on her at £170 or higher. I also saw Kate last year via Olina and she is certainly not worth £200 a hour IMO. 

A £10 or £20 rise for most girls might be acceptable but some of these hikes are a joke. 

[PilotMan]

A £10 or £20 rise for most girls might be acceptable but some of these hikes are a joke. 

The problem is that they didn't gradually raise their prices over time, so by hiking their prices in one big jump to catch up with inflation, it comes as a shock.

Like @soulmining said at the beginning, you've been lucky, so count the blessings you've had for the past ten years.

Now it looks like your gonna have to bite the bullet and pay up, or seek alternative solutions (blue balls maybe  ).

I do agree with that we've had it very good for so long. Personally I can afford a rise (after all my wages have increased over the years as well), the question will be are most of the girls currently working "worth it"? In the days of Anna and Tracey I would have happily have paid more than the £140 a hour I did but I have been trying out some of the new talent and personally found they are nowhere near that level.

I obviously can pay or not but at some of these new prices I will be less willing to take a punt and certainly more critical of the experience if I did. I personally only go up and past £180ph if the experience is going to be something different or special. Some of the newer Thai girls seem to be giving a sub-par Bangkok soapy experience for several times that relative price so the fact that some of them now want to charge north of £160ph means I'll be leaving it and looking elsewhere...

[soulmining]

I see Kate has already dropped her price back down to £150! Let's wait and see if Cara and April follow suit...

[Pleasure4ever]

Reality of the market will adjust the price I guess.
Out of interest, given that Olina and other agencies look after their regular customers by offering perks like a £10 off or % discount, did anyone actually ask the new agency miss69 for a loyalty discount?
Surely if they want to build a following they need to attract the new customers and turn them into regular punters with their agency.

Well hope the phone goes a bit dusty, and back to reality with prices and service, market forces do work so a little abstinence should do the trick.
However nice try by agency and the bad publicity here should put them in their place. The power of UKP.

Abstinence, that's easy for you to say, it doesn't look like you've punted for the past 5+ years.

You're not adding to the power of UKP.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but why do all Thai providers have to be priced at £150 per hour? Every other nationality has a variation in pricing, so what is the difference? In a soapy massage you will get different tiers of pricing depending on how young and pretty the lady is.
By far my best memories as a punter have been with Thai women, so in my mind they should be paid just as much as there Russian or Brazilian counterparts, I am glad they are not though.

It's as if some on here expect the equivalent of rent control when it comes to Thai girls rates.

[shooter]

I wont pay over £150 for a an hours punt, especially not with a Thai girl, when the service is generally good, but a bit formulaic. 

One thing that pisses me off about it,  is that punters are affected by the cost of living squeeze as well,  so what makes WGs think we have extra cash to flash around?    

Its the oposite in fact, maybe they should be dropping their prices, along with their drawers

It's not just punters who are affected by the cost of living increases, SP's also have to factor in the increases they are paying, hence the price rises.

Maybe just spend on the things that are necessities to you and curtail your punting if the prices are making you that angry

Iv been watching this thread with some interest as have many others I am sure (married so no posting or review for a few years but need to get back into punting as personal circumstances now allow it).

The above quote got to be the least cleaver one on here yet. If your rent has gone up dont you think the SP rent is also doing the same 

Personally having checked what is available and the sites (I see 007 is a shadow of what is used to be no more AsianSupermodel and AsianSelection has just the average past it girls and you have lame Olina now being the best site around oh dear) Cara is clearly the hottest Thai girl around (Im not interested in girls that are 40 or there about) possibly followed by Kelly and Nadia at Olinas (again oh dear me Ill pass on booking as with Olina, personal choice as lame experience with agency years ago so no thanks) and the whole point of this thread is to force the girl to lower her price. Dont some of you feel ashamed posting the nonsense you do? If her price is £200 then if you want to see her pay it if not then dont. Literally why does this thread exist other than to try to force prices down? Mods should be locking following the crap some of you post.

Bossesrossi - be strong guys come on, for a lack of better words the gang here is tring to bully SP's into lowering their prices over paying what they should be paying. Cara has lots of positive reviews so clearly a great SP and inflation is real. When someone says 150 or 140 ph is more than enough, dont think they considered that some old hairy punter wants his ass licked, anal and a cim for 140 and expects the SP to be smiling about it as well as paying 140 for it and not a penny more.  Try that with a Brazilian, EE or British girl and see how far you get.

Coming back to punting I am surprised its still £150 and Olina having to lower to £140 to try to keep customers. Punters complaining about poor services, maybe if some of you paid more you would get a better service particularly with Thais - always give a tip and you will get a better service than the average punter, thats just common sense.

Anyway will be seeing Cara for sure at some point this week and will post a review. £200 for a model (which is what she looks like) is not a lot to pay.

[Pleasure4ever]

I think the point of this thread is to answer this question;
Thai agency girls - is the standard £150 per hour rate about to change?
, and not asses if someone’s comment is stupid or not, nor to force any girls to charge less than they feel they worth.
Reality is that punting is a hobby, and a very discretionary spend, so punters will reduce punting, which in turn will affect how busy the WG will be.
Dwindling demand will keep the prices low. Just read some comments on the WG platform talking about being dead quiet in March.
If You think Cara is worth £200 go ahead and spend it, I don’t think she’s worth it unless she improved her service considerably!
Kate changed her mind on the rate not because we told her, but because her phone got dusty.
Supply and Demand is a thing.
Looking forward to your Cara”s review.

Think comments like keep strong (effectivelly dont book) are doing exactly the opposite of the question asked and doing exactly what I said - trying to force the price down. Supply and demand is a thing Im sure it will work itself out but if not now there will 100% be a point where you will be paying £200 if not more for that was £140 or £150 that I can bet my house on.

Review will be coming.

I'm surprised he hasn't got more abuse.

Until he actually posts a few reviews around here Mods should maybe looking at the crap he posts and removing it.  (this is NOT an actual request on the Mods FYI)
