I agree to an extent that a night out in LOS can equate financially to some Western night outs but, and this is th clincher for LOS, nowhere else can you have a night out that equates plasure-wise!

Like everyoe else I do worry that LOS is pricing itself out of the market though.

Personally I think if you spend time in a bar buying drinks and lady drinks. Why is thier even a BF??? The girl has done her job in keeping the customer there and the owner has made money. Is that not her job? And why owners have girls in their bar? To get customers to come in and drink.

In four years in Thailand I may have paid a half dozen BFs. Like someone said meet them later. Most are all willing to do that.

LT and ST prices.... Paying these 2000-5000k prices really screws up the prices by paying those amounts. Eventually all the girls want it and worse thinking they deserve it. Supply and demand I always tell them when it comes to negotiating the business deal. Which is what it is. There another 10 waiting 2 meters away.

Call me Cheap Charlie if you wish....

And please don't compare Hua Hin to Phuket. Not even close to being the same.

And why does it cost the same for a coca cola, ie cheap, ladydrink as a 'real' ladydrink? I wonder if the girls are encouraged/told to choose the most inexpensive drink (to boost profits for the bar owner).

Maybe like business people everywhere it's just about seeing what you can get. Whether or not it actually translates to big profits for the bar owner I don't know. Maybe the Thai? landlord just hikes the rent to cream off any surplus leaving the bar owner hiking the ladydrink price and barfine to compensate? So if they don't get income from the barfine presumably they would put up the cost of the drinks?

Haha...of course...loads. You are quite likely to have the 2 I'm referring to "bump" into you on Bangla Road of a nighttime because having worked for more than a year in a bar they are now finding they are better off freelancing and have given this to the bar scene.

Anyway, you live here like me so you should have found it quite easy to build up a stable of regulars who will come and see you out of "normal working hours"!

I am always open to adding a few more to the rolladex.

Agree that 500 for a barfine is expensive, but some bars in Soi Tiger have a higher barfine than that. If I remember the name correct, there is a bar in soi Tiger called "Cheeky bar", and there the barfine was 1000... atleast it was 1000 for the ones that where dancers. I had a girl from that bar and she said directly that "Dont pay barfine" come get me after work instead...

Also I had one girl from a bar were the barfine was 500, and it was like 2AM, so I told her that I would wait instead for the bar to close, then she just told me that she would go down 500 in price for LT, if I paid barfine. But if she gets like 50% of the barfine back, then it not so strange when you think about it...

I hardly ever BF gals....but the last one was in Patts early this year in a small bar on Soi Diana for Bht100....the next night we stayed together again and went down to her bar before dinner to have a couple of drinks and pay the BF....I was told by the TG bar owner "you look after my girl good.....you no pay barfine OK"

I much prefer the nightclubs anyway.....I like to have a dance and get to know the girls beforehand without being pestered by the lame ducks who try to sit on your arm all night and ask for laydrinks....if this happens i just pick up sticks and find another bar (thanks god Nicke's gals are well drilled in the required social behaviour) .....sure the gals expect more like Bht1500 LT in clubs but at least they are getting teh money directly and have the confidence to go it alone

I often pay BFs, but rarely have I paid over 200. For 200, it's not worth a second thought about it, was less than $5, until the recent demise of the $. But the last week of my tour, they raised BFs in Pattaya beer bars to 300, which at today's rate is close to $10. Still no big deal, but it makes a difference to me. However, in Pattaya beer bars, I have not had girls, mamasans, bartenders, "sisters," roomies, and general hangers-on pumping me for drinks, like in Patong, where it seems de rigeur.

I've only paid over 300 3 times, all on my first tour. First girl(500 BF) was real sweet, but I thought I was BFing the hottest chick there. When she got off the stage, she was a midget with zits, and when she took the gogo boots off, those "great" legs turned out to be well below par. Second girl(500 BF) was OK, not exceptional looks, cost me 1500 for ST, was nice kid, and polite, but I've had ******s in the US, who were a lot hotter in bed than her. Third(600 BF) and final gogo BF(to date), was smoking hot bod, and a great f*ck and an absolutely miserable, f*cked up b!tch, one of the worst experiences I've had, in spite of her looks, and the good sex.

So those 3 convinced me that, in general, the less you pay, the more you get for your money. Money only buys looks, and sometimes not even that. And if you make the extra effort, you can find nice-enough looking girls in discos, and beer bars. And I won't pay gogo BFs at beer bars, like they charge in Tiger. If every bar in Patong raised their BF to 500, then it would be a rare day in May that I would BF a girl there.

The next trip to Pattaya, I may try out the gogos there, however, since at 400 BF, that is only 100 more than the beer bars, and some days, it would be worth the extra 100, to save the time of sorting through the beer bar girls there, trying to find one I like.

I thought 1500 baht is minimum for a LT.....how much you usually pay for LT and is that in bar or a freelancer from a club.
