[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2929970]I've been asked almost every time to buy my drink at Baccara Cowboy before I go in. I looked at it this way. If I buy the drink outside it saves me from having to tip a waitress inside for that drink. [/QUOTE]That's good to know.
I visited the place a few times without being asked to take a drink first before that experience (I was not a regular customer in that place).
[QUOTE=Mogwai;2929962]This is actually a common policy of Baccara in Bkk on busy nights, like Fridays and Saturdays. Has nothing to do with racism, they are requesting the same from caucasians.[/QUOTE]Honestly I don't remember how busy the soi was that night.
I took it personnal because the Thai doorman opened the door for me and was ready to let me in as usual but the fat guy blocked him and pointed to the menu, and then told me to pay a drink first.

That 100 baht and 10 seconds of courtesy has gotten me 14 years of entering without being asked to buy a drink outside. Who do you guys think he is? In 14 years, I have never seen him get up from that chair. The staff all listen to him likes he's the one that pays their salaries. So, who do you think he is?

I used to be a regular but since Covid they have not been able to recruit many new or younger ladies. Now to be fair I haven't visited Baccara in probably 2 or 3 months and things can change quickly in these bars.

If I were Indian and really really wanted to get into a top gogo bar on Walking Street, I'd approach a couple of Koreans / Japanese who were walking towards Palace, Pin Up, etc. I'd let them know you will buy them a round of drinks if they tell security you're with them.
[/QUOTE]Why would you try so hard to give your money to an establishment that clearly doesn't want your money? Just cause you get past the door doesn't mean you will be treated well inside!

If you want a girl to stay with you one hour per drink go to a bar with no customers.
I've just seen it on stream. LOL.
Zookeepa she is ok but not sexy. Come on bro. Tiddies was too oversized. Face ok but has baby.
P.S. She not into you.

I guess he's the owner?

You all priced out of Spi 6 ? Reports please. I'll be back 1st of September or so with Live Updates.

[QUOTE=EverythingThai;2930485]It's called courtesy. Then they remember you for next time and take care of you. I think I was clear in my original post. I take it you never tip.[/QUOTE]I do agree with this. Tipping the right people a very nominal amount goes a very long way for years. Like my visit to Sensations last month. I haven't been in years but was treated like a king by the bar manager and waitress I knew since 2015. I used to buy them a drink or two many many years ago when money used to flow like gas out of a Hummer.

Just cause you get past the door doesn't mean you will be treated well inside![/QUOTE]I'm a curious person. If that was the only way I could see the inside of a place I would do it. Then post a review on how the girls inside treated me. Luckily I'm not Indian or even dark skinned and don't have to do this shite in Thailand. If I were Indian I wouldn't go to Thailand.

Keep ING this thread moving while we wait for reports from 40 drinks guy. Hahaha.
Aforementioned mentioned streamer Zookeepa buys 1 drink for a girl named YoYo. Spent 45- 60 minutes with her.
Goes back looking for her next day. She has customer.
Puzzle. If you were YoYo would you want to see him again?

Leaves dejected mumbling that was a waste of money.
This 40 drinks guy is on to something. Hahaha.

[QUOTE=EverythingThai;2929698] I know Indian guys that can buy and sell Pin Up and XS 100 times over. A lot also has to do with the ladies. The girls in both these places don't want customers from there so if I was Indian, I wouldn't want to go there as well. Disgusting behavior by the bars and ladies. Just because of a few bad eggs, they generalize the whole culture. I would drop it from your list. There are plenty of other options. [/QUOTE]Because of the almost total relaxation of visa rules by Thailand and cheap airfare / hotel prices, it is the go-to destination for Indians from Tier Two and lower cities today for whom just going abroad is a lifetime experience. In some cases, it is cheaper than even visiting certain other tourist destinations in India itself. They are another type of tourist who want to spend little and get maximum mileage from the trip. Imagine a couple of these guys ending up at a high-end place just to ogle at the women without wanting to spend money on drinks let alone ladies. I don't blame the staff at these places. Unfortunately they spoil it for those who are able to and willing to spend. I have paid an entrance fee in Crazy Horse in Bangkok to get in. But I give out generous tips for drinks, be polite to everyone, go with the flow and the staff relax around you. IMHO it has little to do with skin color. Except for one or two girls, everyone else have been respectful towards me because of that.

Colorism
[QUOTE=Grebe925;2930612]IMHO it has little to do with skin color.[/QUOTE]My friend, it has [B]everything[/B] to do with skin color when some guy at the door won't let you in solely based on the way your skin is (or requires some payment in advance). That's the very definition of "colorism", and it happens all too often in Thailand where you aren't judged by the contents of your individual character, but by the color of your skin. It's all too common in Thailand.
