See that the Pattaya bashers are out again tonight!
As long as the Bib keep out blokes who use drug dealers names as their internet log on nics and pictures of laundry shops with the word porn on it as their avatars I would have to agree.![]()
Now that you mention it mate I have only ever had money extorted from me in Bangkok and only last week I was pulled over again in an attempt to get a wedge.Originally Posted by Muadib
It does amaze me how some folks form an opinion about a particular place without having lived there.![]()
WTF are you on about Pablo???????Originally Posted by Pablo Escobar
Guilty concience have we?![]()

^ Mind you this is a gogo bar thread in the Pattaya section. Any male specie lurking here is damaged goods. I'm no exception.![]()

it's a good idea to leave a tip in a bar such as Lolitas.
the 'better service next time' is well worth it![]()

well pablo
being to much of a pussy mouth you wont handle pattis
you ll only get screwed but not paid
I think karon beach and a family hotel is a better fit for you
all dressed up in your pink speedo
leave the fun town to the big boys
Not a bash LT, just a fact of life... Something to be dealt with as part of the price of being in Thailand...
Haven't lived in Pattaya / Jomtien but have spent some time there... Long enough to get pinched by the BiB twice... Once again in Phuket recently... You must lead a charmed life...Originally Posted by Muadib
Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Tipping is always about service, if you get it you tip, if you don't, you still tip!
I have never been pinched by the BiB in Pattaya mate, in fact my experiences with them (and when I needed them) has been great.Originally Posted by Muadib
As far as living a charmed life I don't go out of my way to find trouble and up until today trouble has not found me.![]()
I was going to green you for the first half of your post then red you for the second half.Originally Posted by ocker692004
If you do not receive the service you are satisfied with never tip and I guarantee the hired staff will not be surprised.
Hello Bob and Roy..........are you siamese twins?Originally Posted by bobroy
If you can explain to me how you recover the tip money after you have paid it I might use the same tact next time I am out.![]()
Classroom in Pattaya always was a boring place.
^^It used to be..? This the same Classroom on Pattayaland 2?
Bars I used to frequent back in 2000/01:
Best Corner
At the back of boxing ring place just at entrance to Walking Street.
Some resort in the middle of nowhere other side of Sukhumvit on sunday afternoons where the girls looked a bit fresher.
That was it. Got bored of them and starting hanging out with Uni chicks introduced to me by my cousin and on faceparty.com

Agreed some go gos are not so user friendly but often its us guys too, I recently went out with a mate who is off back to UK, run out of money and blames everyone else.
Pissed off cos no chance of a job in UK, mid 50's, ex hard man so lots of pent up aggression, wanted a row with everyone and it rubbed off the min we stepped into the bars.
We sit down, order a drink, I smile and look around the eye candy, smiling and getting smiled at, thats the secret you see, girl comes over I buy her a drink, he calls me too easy for them, I dont care cos thats what they do for a living.
He gets the arse cos he's getting no attention, as he has a shittyu look on his face, by now I am into mid play about, he gets a girl to come over, sees I bought her pal a drink, asks him for a drink, he rants, thats all they are interested in, and gets more angry.
After about 6 bars and nearly 5 fights he says I'm off, I say good riddance and continue having a good night, so smile and buy a girl a drink or 2, works every time & no I dont have a bar.
And yes there are a few about like him, go in a bar, expect high entertainment for nothing.
Actually probably not even $9. In the US bars and restaurants are allowed to pay less than minimum wage. I haven't worked in a restaurant since college, but at that time it was about 50% of the minimum wage, or around $4 at today's levels.
I know this is a very old thread, but I am surprised at the anger over what amounts to 30 cents.
When I was with a friend at the muay thai place at the end of walking street, we sat and had 3 or 4 vodkas. They played what is known as jenga in the US. Each time I had to go to the bathroom one of the girls walked me there and back.
At the end of the night I gave them 150-200 baht for 2 hours of company. They were thankful for what I earn in less than 10 minutes. You can call me a fool, but I like treating people well and these girls were good to me. I know it is to earn money, but when you contrast 2 hours that cost me $6, as compared to $20-25 for a 5 minute lap dance here, I sleep well.

See, and thats the kicker, in the US, McDonalds people are making about $7 to 8 and hour, and waitresses (Especially Hooters and the likes) make less than $4/hour. They rely on tips, they need the tips to pay the rent. IF I get good service, I usually tip well. What is a lot of money to Thai girls is not a lot to us.
200 Baht ? What ? 6 bucks ? Come on....For a few hours of paying attention to you ? In the States, you are lucky to buy a drink for that for a lady and have her tell you to piss off.
I am a static whore.
