Beer Bar Scam Soi Buakhou

Featured Replies

It's just one of those noob mistakes people make, clearly the girl didn't want to be with the guy, maybe even meeting someone else after. The mate needs to learn pretty quick, staff are pros at playing people

    Move on. Very little hope of getting any money back.  

  • Drinks and barfine is just you having a date, not guaranteed sleep over or sex. Most likely she got second thoughts about the guy, and she got full right to just leave you at anytime. god sake it isn’

  • Put it down to experience and move on.   Emailing the owner on FB is just cringeworthy. What's he going to do next, email the Ombudsman?

It's imagination is incredible but as Judge Judy often said "you don't need a good memory if you tell the truth" as many of it's contradictory posts prove.

You should stop trolling people. Every guy has a rough idea of things.

Last week a mate and I were drinking in in a bar on soi Buakhou with a couple of the girls. 

My mate decided to bar fine one of the girls, he negotiated a price with the girl for long time, 2000 baht. 
Mamasan told him long time bar fine 2000 baht, then he was told she has to have 10 drinks, no problem, he bought her 6 more drinks (tequilas), he paid the bill 4500 baht and they left the bar. 

They got to his condo door, the girl shows him massages from Mamasan, telling her to increase her price from 2000 to 4000 baht etc. The girl tells him that she needs to change her apartment room and she will go and come back in 1 hour, she asks him for 1000 baht, my  stupid mate gave her 1000 baht, he never saw her again. 

He's been back to the bar a few times to get his money returned for her bar fine and money for her drinks, the bar refuses to refund him, the bar is saying that the girl has not come back to the bar, it was her first day at the bar. 

My mate messaged the owner on their Facebook page but they do not reply.

Any thoughts on what he can do?

 

Typically a girl coming to work in a bar, trying to find a regular foreign partner in life.

 

This guy must not have met her criteria, not a keeper one would presume...

4,500 baht (bar fine and lady drinks)? Expensive; what are you, Japanese?

 

'She will go and come back...' - She already got half the money, plus her percentage of the bar fine and lady drink prices; why should she come back? For 1,000 baht? Never trust them to 'go and come back'...

 

The bar said she didn't come back... - If so, nothing they can do. But if not true (this being a beer bar), I would keep an eye out for her, then remind the mamasan of the unfinished transaction once she is back...

 

As prostitution is 'illegal' in Thailand, not much else you can do.

But they don't post their "rough idea of things" as specific/hard facts which you misleadingly  do on many occasions!

TEN lady drinks? The most I ever bought was two. 2000 baht barfine is BS.

 

If that did not seal the deal, I'd be on my way to another bar.

That's really back luck. I met a girl, who was on her first day at the Kangaroo bar so 15 years ago and I can hear her preparing dinner right now. Wasn't a bar fine though.

Seriously ? She is a con artist, so the best thing is to go to the Tourist police who help you to file a scam report. 

 

Good luck

Perhaps not but probably doesn't deserve to be mugged off like this. Mind you, I don't know how he behaved during the course of the evening. Only the OP can really answer this. Already mentioned sucking of norks etc. Not sure which of them was doing the sucking. Maybe he is a fat bloke with Moobs which adds some credence to your suggestion of 'not a keeper'.

 

All sounds a bit distasteful but not surprising considering the venue. Still doesn't deserve to be robbed though......probably......

Isn't there an old-hand thread? Never take a girl back to your gaff. At very minimum not the first time.

I am lucky indeed, I was on a fun&diving trip, had just booked my dives, about 11 am, wanted a coffee so went down to Starbucks, walked past Kangaroo gave my best smile to the girls who were setting up. Starbucks was full of pink, fat blondes, yuk. Retreated to K Bar and asked for a coffee there, big laugh all round and had my first Singh at 11 am. But there she was, she came to my room 3 days later and never left. She left Kangaroo a week after and worked with Jenny tours for a couple of years, until I got her pregnant.

Well, he can try. And yes, of any police in Thailand, I trust the Tourist Police the most.

Met a working girl online. She almost became my girlfriend. Guess what, half a day later her friend called her, convincing her that making a living lying on her back was preferable...

Last week? bit late to do anything about it now....and what sort of friend are you that lets him get stuffed even before leaving the bar....

Then he's a bit thick. No sex 6000 baht. A massage with bj is only 1000.

 

Could have got a threesome from thai friendly for less.

Wow  didn't he get screwed. By the bar that is.   The bar fine alone should have got him thinking,let alone the 10 drinks.

Yeah 10 drinks.? Never heard of that before but I've not bothered much since it was 150 for the bar and 500 for the lady all night.

I was sarcastic 🤌 

Find a married woman and meet discretely.  According to an article I read on Asean Now, Thailand has the highest rates of infidelity in the world.

It's very strange for a bargirl to run away. The guy might have hired her for a week. Must be a reason.

 

Not strange, the stupid guy had already paid her. Money for nothing. Plus the bar would have given her half the barfine.

  • Popular Post

No question the bar and the girl are greedy and dishonest. But...

 

- 2000b bar fine on Soi Buakhao - walk out

 

- Must buy 10 lady-drinks - walk out

I reckon the OP is enjoying the banter. Story sounds fake.

I actually feel sorry for the guy. Too bad he didn't have his friend the OP to sort him out. Many, many missteps along the way.

 

Yes, a scam and yes the bar should have refunded the 1k. Regardless of sex, she left him in short order. 1k for a Pattaya beer bar fine lol.

 

The drinks and high pressure which he folded ... That's on him. Live and learn

 

I'm guessing she was quite a stunner and had no intention of sleeping with the guy from the start. Rumor is lots of these women about in the bars these days.

In my 36 Years in Thailand and never talked to any Mamasan.

For what? Ignore them.
