Yes my eyes are normally fixed on the boobs.

Yes, sir, the Good Lord fitted women with a tongue and then thought, fork I've screwed up, what can I do to make it up for the guys. So he invented boobs.

And the new breed of gogo bar attendees from what I saw last is less farang and more Chinese/Indian FIT young males.

About the Indians (or what I think are Indians): It seems many of them like to look at girls but spend almost nothing. As far as I know that is the reason why they are not welcome in many bars.

My impression is that the majority of the businesses in Nana gogo bars, as well as the establishments in soi Cowboy and on Bangla road, rely more on tourists wanting to visit the supposedly sexy dirty night scene than they actually rely on prostitution.  These places are an obvious draw for tourism and generate a lot of income.

Many of these family tourists made the streets look busy. And some of those tourists have a beer or two in the outside part of the bars. But relative few of those family tourist go inside and spend money.

The Indian groups tend to be cheap. But there are lot of FIT males from the subcontinent with cash to burn. The girls love em as they tend to be loyal.

Correct and also try to get one girl for short time but shared around the group. I've seen them refused entry at Rainbow 4, charged 500 baht each at Crazy House and kicked out of Deja Vu (the one next to Country road).

So what is the, "If you don't get enough lady drinks, we will deduct from your monthly salary" thing? 

 

I'm embarrassed that I don't know about this. Perhaps it never came up (so to speak) since this was never an issue in the past. What are the mechanics of this?

Thais became addicted to this easy cash from stupid foreigners. I hope this health crisis weans them off this bs. I'm sure the strip clubs in Miami are doing well lol.. 

 

Even if the thais working class work hard they are still being paid peanuts so why bother? You would have done the same thing I believe in such situation. Just that your Labour Union will shout their heads off and fight a better pay for you.

My sympathy is with the working class Thais whose bloods are being suck by the big corporations.

I cannot criticize the government or the upper class here so you have to imagine what is happening in this country and the working class is wrongly label as lazy and useless and what not.

If I under pay you for a job done and you are not allow to say anything not allow to criticize then you just go home and drink your beer for consolation. So sad.

The only place in BKK that I've seen girls go with Indians was at Shock39 and the Thai girls were on the fatter/rougher side lol.

Yep, seeing more and more of these giggly couples and all-female groups at the gogos getting in the way of serious men. But to be fair their money's green too and they don't tend to loiter.

You have a quota per month, if the girl fails to get her quota her salary is cut, same for not fulfilling the bar fine quota, same for turning up late or not turning up at all. It is to encourage the girls to get the guys to spend more money, same as 3 girls hanging around one guy, more drinks, more money for the bar.

The principle is the following:

They get i.e. 15k salary. For that money they are supposed to get 180 drinks paid by customers within that month. If customers buy them i.e. only 80 drinks then the 100 "missing" drinks get deducted from their salary, maybe 50B per missing drink. That's 50B * 100 = 5,000B deduction. And then there are some other requirements which we better don't talk about here.

Shock39? Man, can't you afford better than rat-infested dives? Grow some class. Spasso, Mixx, Demo, ... Ain't no "fatter/rougher" babes in them places. We is talking models, sir.

With no tourists bringing there money into the country i think many will end up closing.

Yep, the better hustlers make, or at least made, a lot of money. 100k+/month in earnings, not to mention the, cough, cough, "sponsors" in farangland waiting anxiously all day every day for their 20mins. of face time.

 

Which would set them up nicely for life if they didn't spend it all on their Thai bf's, gambling, brand names and drugs. Ah, well, you live only once.

I went with a friend, he liked it, I didn't. Been to Mixx, Demo, Glow, Mustache and back in day after hours clubs like Bossy, plus Cimax, Nana disco and any other dives that were still open lol.

Forgive me,  sir, I lifted myself up by my bootstraps to a very high level of education and income. But my past haunts me and occasionally I lapse back into the tongue of whence I came from.

I first went there in 2011 and it awful then. Last year it was even worse, rough Thai girls and kazakhs being chatted up by groups of Indians wearing disgusting shirts. The bar staff were rude and wanted a 50 baht tip for serving me, didn't get anything 55.

It reminds me of the disco in Grace hotel many many years ago. I have no idea if that still exist or if they shut it down maybe a decade ago.

Very much there late last year. Can't say recently. A ridiculous 500b. cover. Arab music, guys and gals dancing Arab style. The gals were mostly highly made-up somewhat portly Uzbeks and the occasional Thai.

[PAWNEESE]

For months I have been thinking to a big extent its gonna be a case of "use em, or lose em".

 

So I will do my bit ... but only when the reports of the situation get a bit brighter. 

 

Im in Pattaya and the few reports I have seen about the Go Go open said "sad".

 

And the same high prices for take outs. Less demand usually means prices lower.

Tongue in cheek light heartedness. I know bars/girls not had it easy.

Agogos, dunno, wait and see how it pans out, i reckon 50% of bars will close, most girls have found thaifriendly and I can't see them going back to bars

[bkk6060]

Go to a Gogo bar for what?  They are rip off tourist traps for fools.

Have a girl dance naked for me?  Go to the websites 1000ś of girls will come over, dress as you like, and do what you want.

 

I hope these places go out of business.  Care for the girls you say?

The girls will be happy, they can manage their life much better on the dating sites. 

Set their own hours, see who they want, make more money. 

 

The business owners?  Could careless and so do most of the girls.

 

Time to move on from the Gogoś the sooner the better.

Do you really think that destroying thousands of businesses, and millions of incomes, is worth saving a few hundred lives?  I don't see it.  
You think that this will end soon and things will return to normal.  I don't see it.  I would love for you to be right.  But this is not about the virus, this is a global attack on human freedoms.  If I am right, the shutdowns will continue into next year.  
As for the US, again lots of distortion there. Doctors are saying that every test they have been taking in the last two weeks is coming back positive. Social distancing, and stupid masks are supposed to slow down infection spreading.  Mainstream media is only talking about number of infections, but now completely ignore the fatalities which are dropping quickly and at the lowest levels since this early outbreak. Here is a stat showing just how poorly the US is doing, compared to other countries. You won't see this in the news.

Waste of time, guy.  This forum only listens to CNN.

 

CNN says we all gonna die of the covid, so that is that.

That would be my guess, probably 50% of the bars have an alternate income stream 

That they need to "hide" ????

[cyril sneer]

i'm a sex tourist and have never been in one, wouldn't care if they closed

 

hopefully the lady bars survive though, half the price and full of less <deleted>
