This places are slight better rate than u change in HY. Anyway, if u change around S$1K to baht, the different will be around 50cts to $2 depending on the differences.

If ur frds n u going to pray especially to the mountain top to pray 4 face Buddha, Goddess of Mercy, Si Jia Mo Ni and Yu Wang Da Di (about 20mins journey), then a saloon car book from tour agency will cost around 600-1k baht depending on how u kena chop. Usually if u visit 3 buddha with the mountain top, they will quote u 600-800baht. 600baht is the norm but u can bargain till 500baht if u skillful.

If u go over the weekends, u can visit floating market (Da Lup Nan in Thai) which operate in the evening from fri to sun only. Tutu to there will usually quote u 500-1k baht (about 15mins journey). Tutu will send u there and wait for u approximately 1-2 hours and fetch u back. For me, I always manage to bargain until 300-350baht and i told him i will stay 1.5hrs there and ask him to come n pick me at that specific time.

Other places of interest u can consider Songkhla (about 26km away from HY - 30mins drive) if u never been there b4. Prices for transport im not very sure cos i always drive there if i intend to go there if i do drive my car to HY. There is a dirty beach there with rows of seafood restaurants. U can also enjoy massage at the sea side to enjoy the sea breeze for 200-300baht by those blind ppl (duno still have or not). Sea Aquarium also there (never visit b4). There is a shooting range there also. Different weapons for u to try but not very cheap (avg S$40 bah, i never try b4).

For airport transfer (saloon car), anything more than 320 baht means u kena chop already. U can purchase a taxi ticket at the airport ticketing counter (right side once u exit from the custom) at 320baht but only allow 3 pax. If 4pax then have to add $. Anyway, if u have tour agency number and book their service to pick u at airport, it cost only 250baht to max 300baht (chop u a bit).

A decent traditional massage called to ur room by the bell boy will cost u 300baht for 1.5 or 2 hours. Last time only 240baht but now prices increase abit already. Some of them do provide ping pong massage similar to HJ but their will ask u whether u 1 2 release or not. The price for ping pong massage initially will quote 500baht. But if u act as lao jiao, 90% will accept 300baht.

As for farms girls, vkoolboi had already quote Brother J prices. So i dun go into details except that 1.5K baht girls, if u go for looks and figure, u can hardly find one to urs taste unless if u go for services (i duno, never try this categories b4). Most likely if u see a gum 1, the prices will be around 2-2.5K which u can get around 1.8-2.2K. depending on how the OKT chop u.

All this info is base on Jan 2013, Hope this helps all the bros who is newbies.

Thanks for the useful report. Taxi fare from airport to hotel has been increased since last month. I got taxi at airport counter for baht 400. For girls, I was quoted baht 2k to 2.5k when alone and + baht 500 when tutu uncle bring me inside. Bro J who is a lao jiao cheongster helped me and my friends to negotiate from baht 2k to baht 1.5k and those nosebleed baht 2.5k and baht 3k type to deal at baht 1.8k. More importantly, I hope that I can get threesome in the next trip and if bro J is with me, I don't mind sponsoring an orgy of 5 girls and 2 guys to experience hatyai truly.
