Question BG Minimum Wage

Do you think that there should be a BG minimum wage? Like 1000 Baht LT and 500 Baht ST?

If only we could enforce it mate...

It would be nice but I think the quality of the BG should also play a factor is pricing like it does at Christens (But with better girls and cheaper prices).

1000 Baht LT and 500 Baht ST sounds alright with me and then we let the girls work hard for their tips - Could be a Good Service incentive

BG trade union ?

well,
if u manage to convince all BGs to enter the BG trade union, we may soon encounter problems with prices, as they will set up the minimum wage...
so please dont try to become hoffa, otherwise u may end up like him

ill admit i dont have too much experince with bar fines and paying for st and lt because ive kinda been with the same one for 3 trips. i have had my st times but i just dont really care to haggle. the only thing is from talking to that girl i stay with, she seems to get alot more, 1500 st and 2000-3000lt and shes not a hardened pro. she got 4000st last week. her friend got 10,000st last week from a japanese. i wanted to ask, alot of guys stick to the 500st 1000lt, do you usually have a hard time with that?

Last trip i "just had" to go with a couple of Go Go´s every day and it completely ruined me 2000thb each + bar fine , yes i stayed for 8 weeks even if i had to retire for 2 weeks that trip

First and second trips, no problem. Rarely ever asked for anything. Just slip them 1000 Baht at breakfast and they're happy campers!

Third trip, all of a sudden they all seemed to be asking 1500. Even so I think that I only agreed to pay 1200 once, never 1500. One that I liked and who I went with for nearly two weeks agreed to 1000 but I always gave her more, usually 1200. One day I had 1500 Baht in my hand, was about to give it to her, but I didn't tell her that. We were talking and she said something I didn't like. I excused myself to go to the bathroom, stuck 300 Baht in a drawer, came back and gave her 1200! The stupid girl didn't know it but her stupidity just cost her 300 Baht! I liked her but cut her loose that night! Too stupid!

Who do you think should police this perceived minimum wage? Bearing in mind prostitution is illegal in Thailand.

Being serious though I think we know this is a market driven economy, with the patriots of certain countries 1 in the western hemisphere & another in Asia possibly pushing prices up. e.g. very commony from people from a certain country in Asia paying 5000 baht ST (by the way ST to them being 30 min)

I have always worked on the 500/1000 rule and after 2 trips it held well.
3rd trip BG says 1500 I replied as any gentleman would, "you have same as that girl" 1000 and she accepted that of course.
Well good luck to the BGs if some one over pays them, I stick to the unwritten rule.
It might cost me sometimes but plenty of them outthere.
Most I paid was at Poeseidon in BKK 4000 but she was

when i was going on holiday i couldnt be bothered with haggling and probably overpaid(1500-2000lt)although never stated, just kinda gave it. now that i will saty long time, i think my attitude will be if bg doesnt want to go for 1000 then ill go home alone because i have many more nights. like ive said ive only been with maybe 5 girls(not including massages with extras) and really never discussed money
