Yep. Pay when you make the initial order. After that? Maybe then run a tab, or pay-as-you-go. I was at a bar notorious for padding bills. I was watching the F1 at Spa - with a Belgian from Spa - and after ordering and paying for my second beer he asked, "Why do you pay for each beer as you order?" "Because they will put extra drinks on your tab." Twenty(?) minutes later, I order my third. I passed across 70 baht. "Oh,no. You need to pay for last drink, too. You not pay me." "Um. I did. This 30 baht from teh last change" I look at Belgian guy. His face goes red. Hey gets up, interrupts her and demands his bill, pays it and asks me if I want to share a tutktuk to [name of bar here] I don't condone "Dine-and-Dash" but it's hard to have compassion for an industry -especially in tourist-heavy ares- that pd bills. My 60kg [foreign] wife, for example, did not drink 28 Bloody Marys in the six hours I was getting a tattoo done during which she dropped into the parlor occasionally. But, pay the bill we did.
