Long-time
Long-time (LT) means buying the whole night. You pull a working girl out of a bar, take her back to your room, and keep her in your bed until morning. Girls will often ask wether you want short-time or long time.

Where the Slang Works
This is cash-in-hand, bar-girl vocabulary. It works perfectly across Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. You will also hear it in Dubai and Bahrain mostly among Asian and African sex workers and across Anglophone Africa like Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.
In Germany, you buy the word used is "nacht" and in Spain "toda la noche".
How Long is "Morning"?
Many hookers will say to you that theyll stay with you until the next morning but it is often a lie.
The absolute gold standard is the Philippines (places like Angeles City or Manila). LT is the default culture there. A girl will stay 9 hours and sleep in your bed without complaining. The middle ground is Thailand's beer bars like Soi Buakhao, where you get a solid 7 hours.
The rip-off zone is Walking Street go-gos in Pattaya and Dubai. Girls will often leave as soon they get a chance.
Cost
Long-time costs more than short-time. A bar fine, room and transport may be separate. Agree on the total before paying.
Rough price ranges:
- Thailand beer bars: 2,000 to 4,000 THB.
- Thailand go-go bars: 5,000 to 8,000 THB; some quote 10,000+.
- Vietnam: $50 to $100.
- Dubai / Gulf: 500 to 1,500 AED.
- Philippines: 2,000 to 5,000 PHP.
- Hong Kong: 1,000 to 2,000 HKD.
- Africa: $20 to $100
These aren't fixed rates. Ask what the money covers.
Long-Time Arrangements and Common Arguments
Some girls prefer several ST bookings to spending the night with one customer. Find somebody who actually offers LT.
Agree on the time: Ask, "Are you happy to stay until 8 AM?" Don't assume overnight means staying until noon.
Discuss the services: Sex at night and again in the morning isn't automatically included. Either person can change their mind.
Leaving early: One person expects overnight; the other thinks two encounters finishes the booking. Settle that beforehand. Don't try to stop somebody leaving.
Morning plans: Ask whether she needs to leave for work or another appointment.
The Long-Time Girlfriend (LTGF)
In Thailand and the Philippines, LTGF can mean an ongoing arrangement with a regular partner, sometimes involving a weekly or monthly allowance.
Also called a sponsor arrangement or "rented wife." Paying doesn't automatically mean exclusivity or romance. Discuss time, expenses and other partners. See Sugar dating and GFE.
