2long Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just thought I'd point out that in Rawhide, Soi Cowboy the price of Heineken was a 'normal' 120B Foolishly presuming the other bars wouldn't be much different, we went into Sheba's and ordered the same, plus (don't tell the Mrs) a lady drink (about 100ml. of Fanta orange). The buggers are charging 140B for the beers and 150B(!) for lady drinks! Those interested should be warned. Oh, we were also stupid enough to go from Sheba's to Susie Wong without checking or realising it's the same franchise and therefore the same prices! Shows how long it's been since I was 'out.' Any other comical prices? post 'em here.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinrada Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Always ask before you buy...... I sometimes nip in to the Elli Blue (old Rififfi) in Pats place of an evening but always check the booze price first and double check on when "appy hours finish...usually 9-00pm. Up to then (from mem) the "sot"is ha-sip ha bt which is OK ....55 Full price is Mi Mee ben ha.... & Peng mak..... I have on occasions been caught out and ripped Off/ charged over a ton for a Heine (small) in a gin joint but it only ever happens the once....... Like everything else in LIFE just ask "Nee Torai "..First... The Squeezers hanging outside the speakeasies dont like it when you suggest they are way Tooooo Much but its your dosh and they WANT it...... Nana is now almost a NO NO (rather than a GO Go ) Area....because of all the owners trying to become millionaires in one weekend..... ...Boots are made for.....wal.... Loads of other places.........

dantilley Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sirocco, State Tower, 290 Baht + VAT for a beer. Vertigo on top of the Banyan Tree is the same price I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spee Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Just thought I'd point out that in Rawhide, Soi Cowboy the price of Heineken was a 'normal' 120BAny other comical prices? post 'em here.............. C'mon ... how many people really go to Cowboy, Nana or other nightspots and really worry about prices? Most are on holiday, out entertaining clients, chasing skirts, etc. Scrimp your pennies at the supermarket and haggle with the street vendors if you need to conserve, then +/-20ThB for a brew-skie in the clubs is no big deal. I like to hang out at the pool bar across the street from Rawhide. I've been going there since I first came to LoS and the mama-san and girls all know me and treat me well. I just set aside some amount of money, whether 2000, 3000 ThB or whatever with the thought that I'm going to spend it all and have fun. I order some food from upstairs and get enough so everyone can have a bite. I put the money on the bar and tell the bartender to keep 'em coming for me and a few of the girls I know, and when it runs out to cut off the tab. I don't have to worry about prices and can just sit back, relax and have a good time. (Hopefully the place is still there when I get back in a couple of weeks.)

jbsears Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think the prices at "slutsville" (should be "whoresville" since sluts do it for free) as the OP called it fair. The real rip off is at clubs where they charge 200-300 baht a small bottle of beer. This usually leads me to order a bottle whenever I go to a club. Back home the only place that sales beer at $5 or more is a strip club; regular bars are usually the cheaper places, around $2.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychedelix47 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Sluts- or whore-ville is about right. I mean, what do you think you'll find in a Gogo on Soi Cowboy charging 140 for a small Heini? Sexpats- or sex-tourist-ville would be a fair enough description, but it's more convenient to point at the gals who work there for you guys... Still, cool place, cool girls, cool vibes all around!

Of course, but as males are the ones to Pay for women, derogatory words are used to describe the very women they pay for. I'm not surprised there are so many lesbians in the world, the average male is a tosser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaiChai Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Here is a tip: get one of the girls to out and buy you a bottle of 100 Pipers (or whatever you like) from outside, and then just pay 500 baht for ice/sode/coke. Make sure not too many girls turn up to help you finish the bottle. Should then not cost more than 1000B for the whle night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
