Your favourite gripe about customer service in bars/gogos

[Abby Normal]

Impossible! I think she would rather kill her own mother before that!!!

They only turn off their mobiles when they are with their Thai boyfriend/husband/gig....

 

[What ever...]

Ofcourse thats one of the fun parts. And isnt it allways like that, we all have different taste but we talk all the time about what we like and what we do not like. What girls do we like, what kind of underwear should they have, what kind of service is good in a bar?

But we can not name the bar that we like? Every adult person knows that we have different taste but I thought it could be fun to know what other peoples favorite bars are?

But of course I will go and try different bars and look around in Patong and sit down and have a beer where it looks like I will have a nice time, good beer and beautifull women!

My main one in gogos is you've just bought an overpriced watered down sangsom ladydrink for one of the dancers and you're getting the "what your name" "where you come from" spiel...and then a minute later she gets up and says she has to go dance and is gone for 20 minutes

Why when they are sat with you and entertaining you and you're buying drinks can't they be allowed to skip having to dance? Easy to implement and would mean the customer might hang around a bit longer.

 

[curouis]

Yep, an absolute lie and rip off...I wouldn't go back there!!

 

[ElDiablo]

Yeah. Those girls take all the romance out of paying for sex.:sarcastic:

There's an older woman in the bar I drink in regularly in Patts, now shes ok, but after I've had a few and shes after been suppin 100 pipers with the rest of the girls, each time I order a drink she starts in with "one for mamma", that realy f**kin rubs my Rooster up the wrong way, I wouldn't mind but if she hadn't of asked I'd of probably bought her one anyway,there's no problem that way, but as she does, I just Ignore her...

My gripe is about prices....the worlds in a recession, tourist numbers are down, the exchange rates are dire....but the prices only go up....you'd think some enterprising bar owners would do more happy hour type deals or even lower prices to attract customers....

Oh yeah and service sux in most bars...the customer is always wrong here...and to be treated with indifference or downright ignored...

I hadn't been into a gogo bar (for pleasure) for maybe 5 years (no kidding!).

A few weeks ago, I ventured into one of the gogo bars on Soi Crocodile, just to see what it was like and how things have changed.

My first and immediate impression - why are the dancers all fat? McDonalds certainly has a lot to answer for! (This is not just a gripe about dancers - I would say that the majority of BGs that I see in Bangla are on the podgy side nowadays... my ex-wife weighs in at 35kg...)

Anyway, I sat down, checked my drink price and started chatting with a dancer who wasn't dancing. 'Fancy a drink' I ask. 'Sure' she says, tells me the price and I say 'Ok'. She orders her drink and when it comes she says 'cheers', clinks glasses and goes and sits with another customer!!!!!!

WTF??? I know that I'm only Mr average, but she could have lingered for a few seconds

Just an Idea, This is one's for the Bar owners. How about if you buy a BG say 2 Lady drinks and you decide to bar fine her you get the price of the Lady drinks dicounted of the Bar fine when you leave with her and if you dont leave with her the Bar still gets gets an earn from the drinks. win win ?

 

[Michealla]

Have'nt ventured into one for the last three years either mate and exactly for the reasons you stated above..Whats the point in it if your only gettin a min amount of contact, at least the girls from the bar will take the time to chat or play a game with you...

 

[Hi..]

what is 2 drinks to the bar, a 80 baht profit
isnt going to happen and dont think anyone should expect discounts at a bar unless you been there most of the night or are a regular spender

 

[relswete]

There is more than one ???

 

[Kakaroct Vanan]

I agree 100%! I lost my taste for that whole scene many years ago. It was just way too obvious that they were only interested in their profit and not at all interested in your pleasure.

Especially when, and this is my biggest gripe, they're charging you top dollar for a puny measure of a drink. I refuse to drink alcohol in the bars now. It's beer only, where I know that I'm gonna get 330 ml's every time for what I pay. ฿120 to ฿150 (or more) for a 20 ml measure of booze is just a plain rip-off. And even if you spend ฿5,000 in a bar, unless you know the owner and he buys you a drink, you'll never get one on the house from the cheap ba$tards!

 

[Socky]

My gripe is not just restricted to Bars.
Its when you walk up to the cashier, ask for the bin, wait an inordinate amount of time for its preperation and just as they are about to get out the change, someone asks them a question or calls them and they stop serving you and begin attending to something else....
The other is of course, the blind waitresses of which there are many, you can wave furiously, call out "NONG KUP!", even expose your gentalia and shake it at her, and she will just continue to look through you, dreaming of her next plate of Som Tum I expect...

 

[jhseekings]

Agree. Really find it awkward when that happens. And it is not restricted to jut go-go bars. I find if you reluctantly say yes to the mama she will then say how about drink for this one, and that one etc. Next thing you know you have just got a drink for 5 girls and run up a bill of 800bht in seconds.

 

[tbunny1us]

After spending ฿1,000 at Bachelor Bar, the owner gave me and the girl i was sitting with a couple of free T-shirts :mdr:

 

[will scott]

agreed - gogo / bar equivalent of a camel being a horse designed by a committee

 

[The King Of Kings]

35kg...no wonder you got rid of her

 

[rockability]

I picked up a girl from a massage parlor and then went out. I had around 2 hours of time to speak to the girl while giving me a massage, so i already knew if i would like to spend more time with her or not. The you don't have to pay a barfine and you would pay regular prices for drinks (in my case, the girl even refused that i would pay for her drinks).
