[quote=stillthrobbing;680861]Maybe not in 2010, but definitely not as long ago as 1990. Bht 1,000 was customary less than 10 years ago.

NOT right-as 1989 was my first real year in LOS. And-just by pure coincidence, yesterday I reread the TMOT-book, on which I relied for those visits. The short-time quote was then 300-500 THB. At that time 500-the big purple notes, made the hearts of many a boy beat faster. I ahve 4 editions of that book-the last one from 1997, and then it quoted 500-800 as advice for short-time encounters with barboys. 1997 was the year of the the ASian financial crisis and the Baht-crash.
At that time soi Twy-ly was only barred by Twily bar itself (now Hotmail). I talso think there is a marked difference between the bars in that tiny soi and suburban BKK.
