Mammasans couldn't care less. Mammasans/Pappasans would steal the penny's from under a dead man's eyes or try to prevent a girl from being whisked off to a better life in a better country by some fool during the high season. I saw some goober take a post-op katooee from a bar on Soi 8 in Pattaya and the Fat-Dragon-Skank Mmasn was chuckling how the guy didn't know and telling me to buy this person or that person a drink and trying to work me into one of her girl's soi 8 hollywood production of how her brother was very sick (and soon to die). I've just seen it too many times. I didn't leave, I just told her she should buy the drinks and that I had seen "too mutt" bar girls with sick brothers. I explained that I might buy the pooying that just sah-moked my johnson a beer or a juice (no bacardi coolers!!) but nobody else. When the girl shows up having convulsions after she pretends to have gotten the bad news about the dead family member I have to hide my face because while everybody is boohooing I am laughing because I have see the same show too many times. In other countries the mammasans monitor the cell phones while the hoze sleep to make sure nobody is going to do any freelancing and the MS will to try to sell the guy an LT for the next day. If thai hoze are better paid than a college professor you can just imagine the dinero that a Mammasan in a big place pulls. Don't ever for one minute think that the Mamma/Pappa would look out for a farhang!!![/QUOTE]
Not true, IMHO. I agree with the previous poster that being nice to the mamasans is often worthwhile. BUT, it all depends on the attitude you bring into the bar. If you walk in reeking of "I know you're out to rip me off, and I've got my spincther clenched" then you're going to get treated badly regardless of how many drinks you buy the mamasan.
But if you're genuinely friendly and treat the mamasans with respect, they can be great allies; steering you towards the better girls, making sure you're taken care of even when the bar is busy (or full of Japanese) and generally making sure you have a good time. Being known as a friend of the mamasan's also means you get treated better in the bar and outside; girls aren't going to risk giving you a bad experience and having you complain to 'your friend'.
And once you get to know them, most mamasans can be a riot to talk to. I've learned more about Bangkok and how to handle young Thai girls from some of these ladies than I've learned on ISG - and that's saying a lot!
