Eking – Come back and talk to us in a year. You’re assuming that Thai bargirls are the same as western hookers. They are not. Although sadly there are signs that they are becoming more so. You’re also assuming that the men who frequent go-go bars are actually capable of picking up regular girls. Next time you’re in a go-go bar take a look around and count the guys who you think have the game to hook a regular girl. Not many.
I guess it also depends on what turns you on personally. Speaking for myself, I have plenty of game for the regular girls, but I just prefer the unique thrill of the P4P scene. I like them; they generally like me, and we have a pretty good time together. So I trade in both markets. The costs work out at about the same – the regular girls are perhaps a bit pricier if you go posh. I’m not a particularly big fan of breaking hearts in the morning (seeing her in tears spoils the party for me), so the bargirl option definitely has the edge in this department. There’s a whole host of plusses and minuses. Different strokes for different folks.

I dont want to sound judgmental about picking up bar girls, Ive been to Thailand and know what goes on there, but I have a serious question to ask all of you go-go goers:
Whatever happened to going out to bars and clubs and actually hitting on REAL girls? Isn’t more exciting/competitive to try to pick up a girl that doesn’t charge you a bar-fine? For me, the chase, the flirtation and ending up taking a real girl home for a one night stand is much more exciting then to go to some sleazy place and pick up a stoned out whore that God himself doesn’t know where shes been.
(Im just asking as Im moving to Bangkok in June, and after reading so many posts about Bangkok, so many people have written these blogs about Thai bar-girls as if its such an amazing experience. I would really seriously like to know what all the fuss is about)
Thanks

I think it sounds better saying knowing where to go and choosing the best place for you. We can’t expect something else in a place we know and heard for some reputations…, unless it is what you’re really up to…simple logic….

Wayne, from my read, I think he means that it was the same girl but she was not the same person. Not necessarily a bait and switch but perhaps she had taken something when she went to go change.

That’s just my guess. Anon?

Set off the alarm bells and stop right away when they pull the bait and switch. Mamasan should have been called on this one right away. How much did you have to drink before you paid barfine? No offense but this would have been caught by mmost newbies right away. Keep your wits about you and be pleasant (in the bar at least) and get the one you chose or none at all.

Yeah you should have called it a night at the cab. But now you are well experienced. At least you got out with everything intact and no boys in brown.

Hey, every woman knows a stupid farang when she sees one. Just as a reference point – women are not ‘birdies’ or apples. Many women go into prostitution because of poverty and drug problems. Many of these women are desperate and unhappy despite being stunners. What do you expect with your 1000 baht – love’s long lost dream?? Maybe you should take your friend Manny with you next time – what a creep.

I always bar fine unknown girl ST. If all goes well I offer her the extra money to stay until lunch time.

From all the reviews I read it seems like it’s best to leave the mercenaries of RB4 to the Japs.

Good post anon. And you handled the situation exceptionally well !
