Do you buy "Lady Drinks", and if so, why?

Problem is, Charlie, is that anywhere else in the world that drink you buy for her would cost the same as yours....

and would most likely contain a trace of alcohol ....🤣

  • Isnt that the norm, the standard practice, a guy walks into a bar, sees a female he likes, and sooner or later its "Can I buy you a drink" its pretty much the same anywhere, in Thailand its just clear

  • Then you are a bit more stupid than most, if you do not understand the difference between a bar without hired ladies to entertain customers and not!    Another typewriter hero I see who join

  • The assumption is one buys lady drinks as a prelude to sex. Not so.   IME about 30 - 50% of the women in bars are not selling sex, they are selling companionship for a few minutes.

I no longer visit the bars that serve "lady drinks".  Happily retired with a live-in GF.

A bar is like a casino, the odds are stacked against you

Same with guys going and sitting down with working ladies.

Sitting down with them ok.

But going down on them is unhygienic.

😂 Tell that too our esteemed member portfolio on this forum, as they seem to have a very sick mind when it comes to women.

Better tell your friend to come out of the closet, get a mouth and ask all by himself.

Indeed.

A recent poll found approximately 50% of members kiss them on the mouth.

Is it a crime to be lonely?

In the first place why do you go to a bar and associate ladies?

She has never worked in a bar. I came to Thailand with the intention of avoiding relationships with bargirls.

Good to hear, but you did enjoy the company of "those" ladies though before you met your wife.

Of course she has not. 

 

But society in Thailand and mainly other foreigners will always think that she has been a bargirl, when they see an elderly foreigner with a thai lady.

Waste of money . By the time you have bought a couple of LDs + your own drinks the bill might be 700 Bt ( 16 quid ) and what do you get ? - A brief conversation consisting of ...What your name ? Where you flom ? How long you stay Thailand ? ...Then - I go dance . Maybe I`m just old and cynical .

She is 47 years old. By Thai standards SHE is also elderly.

Or can end up with paying the barfine for some private russian salad spreading,  in a seedy hotel. Hopefully,  nobody in their senses will bring back a prostitue or freelancer to their official home ? It does carry the risk of getting robbed, drugged, or falsely accused on some cock-and-bull story (!), with an intent to blackmail or extorsion.....Far less hassle to enter directly the brothel or parlour and get the service on-site and be done with it. No LD's to spend or barfines. 

When you like a bar girl/bar boy, give her a direct tip, not just another LD again.

 

In bars, many guests are first-time visitors to Thailand, two-week billionaire holidays, long-term visa expats with big money, or Japanese/Korean tourists. They tend to buy lady drinks freely. If these tourists keep coming back in large numbers, prices will continue to rise.

 

But here’s the problem: when you buy a lady drink, around 80% goes to the bar, and only 20% goes to the girl as commission. Example: On a 200 baht LD, she gets 50 baht commission. As the prices rise to 250 baht, 350 baht, and beyond, the inflation of LD prices continues. The more LDs you buy, the faster prices escalate. This is why tipping directly is the smarter choice.

 

When you give her a direct tip, such as 50 baht or more, she earns the same or even more. You can politely decline the overpriced LD. By tipping directly, she gets 100%, you control your spending, and you avoid contributing to the endless cycle and you avoid being trapped in the never-ending LD price inflation of increasing LD prices. Also, always carry 20 baht bills (not coins), as handing over coins can feel cheap and create a bad vibe.

Another typewriter hero I see who joined 5 days ago, and already posting the delicate click baits thread's 🙈 

His name is Bob and he is not new to AN....

Hi Bob

I know of one poster who definitely doesn’t buy any LD.  He can’t even afford his own and has to rely on a TG to pay for his bowel of food, even after borrowing 75k Thai baht from a TG.

 

If that doesn’t work out he only has 100 baht in his pocket.   Another excuse for the cheapest of charlies.

'Back in the day" ... not for many years now. But my thinking was, great enjoyable entertainment, attention by pretty Thai girls. OK, I enjoy talking to folks so I might buy "Lady Drinks" for one, two, three girls at once for us all to enjoy talking, joking, stories together. Oh, usually bought the Mama San a lady drink also (OK these Lady Drinks and my drinks checked on the front end before proceeding). Fond memories so not desperation ... Sanuck!

Can imagine most tourists visiting Thailand for the first time would buy ladies of the night a drink in a bar

Only cheap Charlie Expats would usually not unless it's a bar they regularly frequent 🤑

Paying lady drink give you the opportunity to caress her nice buttocks while you compliment her . . .

Too many.

A bit sad if you have to buy drinks for someone to talk to you, and has no interest in you apart from another payday.

It is bit more than talking. 
More fondling and groping than talking.

it is a pretty good deal.
