It's not the 10 baht, which is nothing, but I think on larger bills it is more. It's the lack of transparency. Do they fail to provide correct change for BFs? I'm saying be careful and check your change. Nothing wrong in advising that. So much easier if they returned the correct amount. Imagine if you are with a group having a good time with a large bill and you don't bother to count the change as you never had a problem in the past. What have they deducted? I always tip but I want to be the one who decides how much. Happens all the time...and not just one bar...and not just Nana Plaza. If not careful and diligent all the time, you will ultimately get ripped off. Reporting it will only get you a stupid look and phoney smile at best. At worst, your ass kicked. Just count your change while the server is still there and ask for correct change. If truly a chronic problem, then vote with your baht and spend it elsewhere. LOS used to stand for Land Of Smiles. Now Land Of Scams.

Many farang, especially those who positively exude (self) importance, find the notion that they may have lost face to be debilitating. Counting every satang due them in change establishes for all to see that a Big Man is in the house and not to be trifled with. I imagine you're quite the Diamond Jim when it comes to tipping too. Pretty sure if you frequent this particular bar, you've probably already acquired a reputation. I can almost hear the girls telling one another to short you ten baht just to watch you turn puce with indignation. Have they tried returning all your change in one baht coins yet?

December 15, 20178 yr OP, how weak are you? Maybe they think you look like a easy target? Do all of us a favor and be a man and handle this issue yourself.

December 15, 20178 yr Can you give us a clue which bar in Nana only charges 155 baht for a drink? The ones I go in charge 160 minimum. As for your problem, instead of going out with only 100 baht (or larger) bills, take a few hundred in 20's Then you can pay 160 baht for your 155 baht drink.

Buy 4 beers in the 7-11 nearest to Nana Plaza, sit outside drinking them, all the fun at a fraction of the cost.

From now on I would pay the correct amount each time I received a drink from the bar lady/server...wotever. If I did not have the correct amount I would still pay for each and every drink I received....NOT run a bar tab...AND I would not let the server leave until I had counted my change....AND... I would demand any amount that I was shorted. Umm m, in the future I would also think twice about ordering any drink that didn't come in a bottle with a cap on it.

Maybe you should re read your tag line at the bottom of your post.
December 15, 20178 yr I am surprised you can get a beer so cheap, be it 155 or 165 baht. Have you asked for the missing change? Leaving a tip is customary, here they are enforcing it and although a bit cheeky I would be content to take the change offered and be happy with that, I saved 10 baht! Nothing new around here.
December 16, 20178 yr i think they just can not count , having boobs does not mean having a brain innocent little creatures they are for sure
December 16, 20178 yr There is a police box on the corner of Sukhumvit and Soi Nana, report it to the cops in attendance, I’m sure they need a laugh.

December 16, 20178 yr In the OP's defence, what would happen if you paid for your drink and you gave the bar 10 baht less than the bill? Would they just shrug it off, or would they want the money they were owed?
