What's a reasonable price for a lady drink?

[connda]

The exact same price any other customer would pay.  Want extra money, sugar?  Perform extra services.
That's sort of the nature of P2P.  And no - I haven't always been married and monogamous.  I have traveled the world.  Soooooo....

Cue the Beach Boys.

There has to be a few extra zeros in there somewhere! or days are mixed up with months!

[Trippy]

150 for a LD is reasonable. She gets a commision for every drink she was bought, probably about 50 baht at that price. The girls aren't there for fun, they're working.

Went to a bar the other day.

My beer was 80THB and the girl's one was 150THB.

Are lady drinks always double the regular price ? (almost)

No, they are not always almost twice the price of the customer's   The price of her drink is not based on the price of yours, if you'd bought a B150 drink her drink would not have been anymore expensive than yours.

Prices are on the menu. Don't like them, leave.

Of course. But with lower prices, they might get more drinks and eventually end up with more money at the end of the night.

150THB is around 4€. I find it a bit expensive for a lady in her 40's, who barely speaks english, has nothing to say, can't play pool and tries to make me drink as fast as possible.

Maybe the answer is to slip her a Bt100 note so she can tuck it into where ever, for herself.

 

That's actually good idea !

Man, I didn't even think about it.

Better deal for the both of us :D

Nice one

Not a good idea for her though if she has to get a certain number of drinks or if the bar owner/manager notices that he's being screwed.

I am serious. That was a few years before Covid and a very large bar.

No one forced you to buy that woman a drink!  If she was so unappealing, why did you bother to encourage her?   

 

"...barely speaks english..."

Do you speak Thai?

[Chivas]

Depends on location

In Ban Chang only 100 Baht paid  but recently 220 on one occasion in Pattaya Go Go

I'm not complaining, just sharing my thoughts on the value to price ratio of the experience.

Just like I would after trying out a given restaurant. Food and service weren't great for the price.

You know...

And then there are those special lady drinks like maybe whisky coke. Some bars and some ladies interpret that as one glass of whisky and one glass of coke. And then you pay for two lady drinks.

 

A friend told me recently a girl asked him for a coke. He agreed and she received a tall glass of coke. And then he had a look at the bill: 2 coke, total about 400B. He asked and they explained to him that was a double coke.

Luckily that happens not in all bars. But unfortunately, it happens at all.

What a miserable way of doing business  

At least it makes for funny stories to tell later on.

I was surprised the other day in Nana. In one of the big bars one customer thought he is generous, and he gave several dancers each a 20B note. I would have expected that they ignore him best case or throw the notes back at him. But no, they excepted the notes and smiled. Amazing.

I always get a price before ordering either on a menu, wall sign or verbally. It also lets me see what drinks are available. I don't like negotiations after ordering.

 

If you don't do it, don't complain about prices later on.

Price of a normal beer, plus 50฿ would be responsible in a ideal world 🌍.

Probably: 80 baht for the beer, 35 baht for the lady and 35 baht for the bar = 150...

[Denim]

If you do as the sheep do and go to a bar be prepared to get fleeced.

 

Girlie bars have had their day.

The way I look at it is if you want to play you need to pay. To me that’s small money but maybe not to many. Girls aren’t there for free. They are making a living and your helping.
