i've had a chat with a massage guy from hero, who after his 'office hours' heads to the go-go street on suriwong, sits at the open-air bar (which is at the very beginning of that street/soi) and waits for customers. he charges a minimum 1500 baht and it seems that this is truly his lowest charge. he admitted to be earning around 60,000 baht per month, which is more than comfortable income in bkk.
my main problem with the sex-for-money business is that most thais in that line of work tend to be straight and sex with them simply isn't good. it's mechanical (if they manage to get hard, which is not guaranteed) and lacks passion. for them, we all look alike, whether old, young, fat, fit, balding, with hair, short or tall. they're ok as the last resort, but definitely not before all other options are explored.
