Do that and you may never set foot into Baccara again.

I don't have to tell you why.

Please do tell me what you are referring to because I have zero idea at what you are hinting at.

I have up until this point avoided Bacarra but now armed with the above advice will walk in, hit the fat. Limping - bald guy with 100 to 200 (USD $6) and see if I can do business with any of the fine ladies that frequent this place.

For Baccara it's quite simple. I'm not sure why guys still make confused assumptions about this place. I've been there over 1000 times in 4 years and barfined over 60 girls there and this is best advice you will get. By the way, there are other Asians besides Japanese that frequent this bar. So calling it Japanese only or Japanese preferred is incorrect. Baccara makes most of its money off barfined girls, sex, and the owner's short time hotel across the way. So they want customers who drink and pay for sex. Those are the clients they prefer. Those who come to only drink and try to grope on girls will get spotlighted quick. Girls want to get paid their 3000-10000 baht, not 50 baht per drink.

This is such a great post, particularly on 2 points 1) Japanese guys prefer submissive girls, I. E no eye contact or pushy behaviour etc so the girls will act accordingly and while this is strange to westerners once we know this is happening it should be no issue and 2) For the best service at the bigger busier clubs you need to grease the wheel a little bit when unknown I. E a few strategic THB 100 (US $3) tips here and there will get you treated almost like a regular straight away.

Every club has their own niche and working out how to get the best of these clubs is just a matter of at least knowing what they expect. The big busy clubs will definitely screen customers to hit the profit sweet spot. One must remember that they are really only busy for a few hours each night say 10 pm - 1 am give or take, so during those 3 hours they want guys that are going to earn them the most. They don't want guys sitting there just drinking on heir own for 3 hours during those busy periods taking up space when they already have a ton of free spending customers or regulars coming through their doors.

Just what the question is asking thanks.

I went to Baccara this month and was told I had to buy a drink before entering. Not sure if that applies to everyone or only to 'certain identifiable groups'. But I would have bought a drink anyway. I didn't get any kind of "members only" story.

It is low season but Baccara was packed inside. See my review a few pages back for my thoughts on Baccara.

BTW, I'm the same guy who was told to pay 500 THB to enter Crazy House, and I'm 100% sure it was due to having the wrong skin colour. This matches many other identical reports on Google Maps Reviews.

When I went to Baccara last time it was packed with Japanese and East Asians. They asked me to pay for drink before. I know that once inside you will not get much attention from girls or waitresses. I enjoy this kind of challenge. I ordered half bottle of vodka, gave nice tip to the girls. There were couple of girls siting nearby looking for customers. I told waitress that I will pay for their next drink. Now the GoGo girls started giving me attention, service was quick with smiles. I won that round over Japanese. I did not take any girl.

It is not that you have to show-off but it is important that in such places you must not look like cheap Charlie and spend reasonable amount of money.

Your entering a club that caters to Asians where its always packed with Asians. Any girl leaving the club with a non Asian will lose face (and business). She might take your number or give out hers if you live in Bangkok and might become a regular client in the slow season. You'll always meet these girls from these clubs outside the bar.

From memory, which can be cloudy, none where that more attractive then at any of the other agogos in NEP. I forget the name of the agogo but ended up with a 20 yo uni student with a slim body that I like for 3000 LT and she let me be. Be.

I was there in February and no hassles getting in but totally ignored by the girls so I left after 1 drink and will spend my hard earned where I get better value for my money.

The Baccara girls in Bangkok are like that whether you are Asian or Farang. Only very few make eye contact from the stage. Most wait for the guy to choose them. Someone mentioned it's the submissiveness trait that Japanese men prefer.

They don't care about guys walking in and out. They care about the guy who goes in and sits there all night and orders nothing.

It's fairly difficult for anyone to sit in a gogo bar for long without having to order a first drink. After that they can milk the drink as long as they want. Never seen a gogo bar forcing someone to order a second drink, at least in Pattaya.

Maybe you should walk down Sukhumvit and kick every Indian guy you see in the nuts and say "have some manners and don't be so cheap". If enough fellow Indians do that, the problem will likely go away.

[Smoothy]

If you are not Japanese you must purchase a drink before you enter. It's funny because here in Pattaya it's the Japanese gogo bar guys who walk in and walk out the most.

1. Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Taiwanese, Hong Kong or anyone who looks East Asian (non Indian) generally have no problem getting entry.

2. White westerners generally have no problem getting entry.

3. Any race where they bring a girlfriend or a girl along will have to buy a drink before entry. Baccara is a barfine club. Not a show.

4. Any race when it's full and you are not a regular will have to buy a drink before entry. When it's full, they don't want people walk in and look around and walk out. Usually around 10-10:30 is peak time.

5. If you have a history of coming and not barfining, at peak times you will be asked to buy your drink before entry.

6. Indians need to come early and with above groups #1 or #2 or may be denied entry. 7:30 they open and are empty. Better chance to get in. Indians or Middle Eastern looking guys coming alone or in a group will probably be denied.

7. Black westerners generally have no problem getting entry.

Here is a hint: If you are allowed entry even if it's requires buying a drink outside first. Do so. Then buy a drink and make friends with the bald headed fat white guy who walks with a cane and sits at the door. His name is Sam I think. He will remember you and you will never have any issues getting in again. I've been able to get in at anytime, accompanied by any race, and even with other girls. And this is without having to buy drinks before entry.

I think it is the other way round mate. Baccara was not racist till 2016 and used to let all decent looking punters. They started asking most non Jap clients to buy drinks before entering somewhere in 2016. However in early 2018 I was shocked when they pulled members only BS on me. I have read few more reports of this happening now a days. Looks like they are becoming the next CH or Rainbow 1.

Strange. I've never had a problem in any of those clubs.
