 Current prices are around 3000 for short time and around 6000 for long time. Note that a lot of the freelancers won't do long time. Also the prices are based on the girls' interest in you and is up for negotiation.

+Tips for Navigating Thermae
+===Know the Setup===
+Thermae isn’t a typical [[bar]]. You’ll walk downstairs into a dimly lit space ringed by freelancers, with guys strolling in circles to scout potential partners. If it feels unusual at first, don’t worry—that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work.
+===Timing Matters===
+The best selection often appears between 8:00–9:30 PM, when the place is buzzing. After 10 or 11, a lot of the top picks might be gone. If you’re looking for a deal or don’t mind “leftovers,” you can try rolling in near closing, but be prepared for a hit-or-miss lineup.
+===Short Time vs. Long Time===
+[[Short Time]] ([[ST]]): Typically means one session (sometimes up to an hour or so). Expect around 2,500–3,000 THB as a starting point.
+[[Long Time]] ([[LT]]): Often considered overnight or at least multiple hours/shots. The usual rate hovers between 5,000–7,000 THB, but you need to clarify what “long” really means so you’re not cut loose early.
+===Set Expectations Upfront===
+Don’t be shy about discussing what you want—whether it’s a particular activity or how long you want them to stay. If you wait until you’re back at the hotel, misunderstandings (and disappointment) can happen fast.
+===Watch Out for Overpaying===
+New visitors sometimes get quoted inflated prices (like 7,000 THB for ST). If it seems too high, politely decline or negotiate. Many travelers prefer not to haggle, but it’s common practice. A firm, friendly approach can save you a few thousand baht.
+===Dress Respectably===
+Shorts and T-shirts aren’t illegal, but looking like you just came from the beach can hurt your vibe. You don’t need a suit—just aim for neat and clean. You’ll probably get a warmer reception (and fairer quotes).
+===Check Hotel Policies===
+If your hotel has strict guest rules, be prepared. Some spots require you to register your companion or pay a joiner fee. Either way, lock your valuables in the room safe if you’re bringing someone back.
+===Don’t Expect Uniform Service===
+Each freelancer has her own style, boundaries, and level of enthusiasm. Some may be fantastic, others might treat it purely as a transaction. That’s just the nature of the game—no two experiences are alike.
+===Consider Alternatives===
+If you’re after a higher-end or more predictable experience, there are plenty of [[Bangkok Soapy Massages|soapy massage parlors]] and [[Bangkok Gentlemen's Clubs|Gentlemen's Clubs]]. They often have clear pricing structures and curated lineups—though you’ll likely pay more for the “premium” feel.
