    True facts! One point I like to say about the barfine is how it gets cheaper later in the night. However be aware if you stay with the girl from 9pm until midnight you may spend more on lady drinks than you save in the discounted barfine.

Even though I haven't made so many mistakes, I see others make them whenever I go out.

    Good advice!! This is good information for the newbie and veterans as well. Two things I would like to add about the lady drinks. 1. As you said, this is a business, and the lady drinks are part of the business and the girls social structure. The drink helps get the girls there money. The girls also want to help their friends get drinks too. Don't be insulted or anger when the girl asks you to buy here friend a drink. She and her friends could get into small arguments if her can't get you to buy her friend a drink or two. Just be clear up front that you will buy one drink for one her friend and that is it. She will push the limit but will understand if you stay firm. It's ok. 2. If there is a bar you like to often visit, buy the main mamasan a drink. Then ask the mamasan which girl she wants you to buy a drink for. The good one will direct you to a girl who needs more drinks for fill out her contract. Mamasans remember this. She will be your buddy and the girls know you are her buddy. This is an advantage for you. I have been friends with a particular mamasan for the last 15 years. She has run several clubs and always has set me up with great girls. She also buys me drinks and has had the club owner buy my drinks. And the last comment, don't be afraid to kindly and sweetly say no. They will ask more than once, it all apart of the game. If you are nice and smile, no is always ok. Remember these girls talk to each other, If you are not nice to one of them, they all know.

      I'm with the "never been ripped off" brigade, but I was/am relatively generous(therefore a good customer), but also not(too) foolish and made good friends male and female in Bars all over Thailand, it doesn't do any harm that the girls knew I was in the Security business and I had my targets from shooting in Thailand with some Army mates on the walls of my Apartment and am not a sap., I made such good friends that the one time someone(an English lad, friend of a friend with mental problems) spiked me(with ground up Xanax) three girls who knew me brought me home, two stayed cause they were worried about me, but I am pretty familiar from years ago with the effects of Xanax, so I wasn't too bad,the two who stayed also stayed til the afternoon and made me Breakfast/Lunch and wouldn't take any money(I visited them all that night and made sure to reward them with drinks and tips and recommendations to their Mamasans and Bar owners)
      Still long distance friends(not sponsor!) with the three of those Ladies, and many other Thai people male and female.

    When I go in, I check the bin every ticket that goes in, when it gets closed to 1k baht, I pop 1k into bin, then start a new ticket, that way I am in control. Always first drink goes to the Mamasan, Mamasan will steer you to the type of girl you are looking for, and the Mamasan tend to be the best conversationist in the bar.

I offered her some painkillers she had some special tablets at her place. So I asked for my bar fine back she declined but my friend was good friends with the owner. I reminded her this and she gave me my money back so don’t worry about asking for your money back.

    I have a tip. negotiate for all services and expectations before the bar fine is paid. Make sure you both understand you will pay her after the services have been rendered. Also, once you are back in the room, put the money on the nightstand and tell her this is for her AFTER the performance, I add another 500 or 1000 baht, show her and put it into the drawer of the nightstand and tell her this is bonus for good service. If you have a great time pay her the extra baht bonus, she is likely to work harder for the bonus and she will remember you next time.

    Good advice. As a newbie I used to walk into a bar, take a seat, order a drink, and then take a look around. I wasted so much money buying drinks in bars that I would have walked back out of if I'd just taken the time to look around when first walking in. I also made the mistake of buying lady drinks for multiple girls. I think we're all afraid of being labelled a 'cheap charlie' and the girls use this to their advantage. The one thing I never really got into was ringing the bell.. spending all that money for one quick 'thank you' and then seeing the girls go back to what they were doing seemed mad to me.
    The bars are such a great place for an evening's entertainment, but can also be a place to get into a fair bit of strife. Knowing what to expect and what behaviours are acceptable is important.

    Couple of tips to add (sorry if you've covered these already in earlier videos....)....
    1) Don't fall for the 6 shots for the price of 4 type trick. I did and before you know it, waitresses walk past your table and down a shot, flash you a smile and carry on. Before you know it you're down to just 2 drinks - for you and the girl. Only did it once and then went back to buying individual drinks again - much easier to control without appearing to be a tight ar$e.
    2) I was told by one girl that the bar fine would reduce once we were past midnight..... then surprise (!!!) it didn't - some rubbish about not having sold enough drinks.... and she would be happy to leave but the bar fine was the same price. Basically this is just a con to get you to buy more lady drinks and then you bar fine her anyway.... which leads me to #3....
    3) Once you have decided that you would like to spend time with a particular girl, have "the chat" and then bar fine her as soon as you can, otherwise you're just wasting money on lady drinks.
    4) Without sounding disrespectful, talk to the ladies about the things you would like ("the chat") and prices - as if they are a machine. At first I was pussy footing around, maybe shy, maybe embarrassed, maybe nieve, and really they'd heard it all before and really it was an easy conversation. Once you've had "the chat" and everything's agreed, you just revert back to being a couple again.... it's abit disconcerting the first time but it's easy after that. Also, on the same lines - once you've said your first polite "No" to a second girl's lady drinks, it is much easier subsequently. I found "No, I am just buying for me and her" (pointing to the girl I am with) was accepted without issue and didn't burn any future bridges !! ;-)
    Hope this helps!!

    You make a lot of good points here. In regards to checking your bill, just pay as you go then you don't have to worry about being overcharged. But there's 2 rules I would tell newbies in Thailand. And they are more important than your 12 in my opinion. 1. Do not go into these bars by yourself. Especially if you're wasted. They will dislike you from the get go especially if you're wasted. One time I went into a bar in Pattaya by myself sober, had 2 beers when I usually have about a 12 beer limit, and they drugged my drink. Luckily for me I spoke to the staff in there before and they realized I lived in BKK for 25 years so they just took me to a hotel and didn't steal anything off me. And they were right to do that cus I would've called my police friends down there had they taken anything from me. Which is why I totally disagree with your suggestion to not speak Thai. Speaking Thai that time saved me from getting all my stuff robbed. And 2. Smile. Sounds weak, but very true. Thai people are always much happier when you are polite to them, and just by smiling at them, they will always smile back at you and treat you better. Can always wai and say hello in Thai etc., and they love that. The second rule applies to Bangkok in general.

      @@R.S.407 sorry to hear that. Actually, when it happened to me, they must've drugged the second one from the start because I didn't go to the bathroom or anything. I don't claim to be some big shot over here. Far from it. But I do have a friend in the Royal Thai police. And I know those police don't tolerate places on Sukhumvit or walking street doing that. Especially if they have evidence. That's why I disagreed with what this guy said about speaking Thai. Basically, if they think you're not just some tourist, and you've been in Thailand a long time, then you've basically just called their bluff. Because at that point, it's up to them if they really wanna take the risk and do stuff like that. And from their point of view, if someone's lived there that long, in my case before a lot of them were even born, then they think, and in this case probably knew that they were stepping into dangerous grounds. Why else would they have found me a hotel, dragged me there and just let me sleep there without taking even a penny off me? I'd imagine I passed out, and someone was like 'DUDE!!! DO NOT touch him.' I'm going on here lol.... but you get the point. Speaking Thai, and even singing along with the Thai songs will alert them like 'OH DAMN! HE KNOWS THE WORDS?' At that point, they know you're not just some tourist.

    don't fall in love with a bar girl, she is not your girl your just her next customer, don't argue or get aggressive with a bar pay your bill and head to the door to lose a few bhats better than to lose a few teeth, establish that your a butterfly in an agogo bar early on otherwise your are stuck with the same girl over and over again and you became her walking ATM. nice reminders sir trev. cheers.

      100% that.... you do yourself a huge favor stating that you are a butterfly during your conversation. That is especially helpful on S 6 as you easily could see her if you walk the street again during your visit. If you do go back to the same venue, its a good idea to buy her one LD to save face and show respect. Now the stupid part is that the girls are all butterflys for f's sake, how they think we should be held to a different standard is nuts....lol

In the Philippines most foreigners don't speak Tagalog so if you do it normally goes a long way as the level of respect goes up and the the bs meter goes down lol and you can still have a good experience.
    I would say rule 13 is the customers have gone in for the girls so the last thing anyone wants to see is you taking your shirt off and dancing on the stage 😂😂

    There is a large foreign European group who are now running many Agogo’s on walking street and they are taking the piss big time with prices. Always ask the price of everything before committing to anything. Always say no to excessive and multiple lady drinks , particularly the buy drinks for my friends girls.
    Check multiple bars , you will soon find who the rip off bars are.
    Check down the side streets , Soi diamond in particular , Windmill , sapphire. Don’t forget the nightclubs for freelancers without lady drinks and barfine nonsense.
    Most of all remember the number one bar in Thailand - Billboard in Bangkok - only has a 1k barfine . Don’t let these bandits on walking street Pattaya continue their high prices.

    I never had this before but in a gogo in Nana Plaza the serving staff checked your bin often to see ifit been moore then 20 min you ordered and if so they asked you to buy moore or leave. I can understand if the dont want cheap charlie sitting with one drink for the evening but the bar wasn't busy at all. A little to aggresive for my taste. For the record i always leave a little bigger tip if i dont drink much.

    Here is a rule you forgot, Trevor. If you plan to barfine a girl, don't let her get too drunk! She may seem ok right before you leave, but then the last couple of shots kick in and you suddenly have to take care of her and not the other way around. Don't think you can bring her back and get a refund. You're stuck with a drunken girl who will be mostly useless for whatever you had in mind. If you see that she is past saving, pay and go and look her up another night if you want.

    I was just in Bangkok for 9 nights and in Billboard nana plaza which many rate as the number 1 Agogo in Thailand.
    It was packed with top looking dancers every night and barfine was only 1k baht before midnight and 700baht after. I don’t know why anyone would pay the insane prices being quoted by Pattaya bars except maybe through ignorance. Mostly I saw Koreans and Japanese getting overcharged on walking street last night in the Agogo’s. Other punters were having a much cheaper and better time down Soi diamond in windmill and other bars.

    If a lady tells you that she has to go sit outside unless she has a drink, tell her that you'll see her outside (which you won't, it's game). And, if you get tired of being pestered by servers/toms about drinks, just hold your glass close to your chest or lap so they don't keep coming by picking it up to check how much is in there (which I think is disrespectful as hell)... like checking a child's plate to see if they ate all of their vegetables.
