[QUOTE=*****man;2492638]On the basis of these and other recommendations I decided to check out Billboard and Butterflies tonight. I walked out of Billboard within 10 seconds of walking in. Why? Because the music is played at ear-splitting volume. So I went to Butterflies and there's exactly the same problem. It's left me a bit perplexed. Firstly, why is nobody else mentioning this? I mean, in Butterflies there were about 5 customers and one of them had his fingers in his ears, one of them I saw complaining about the volume plus me so that's at least 60% who are not happy with it. Does it not bother the posters here who recommended these bars? Secondly, why do the managers do this? I've read on Stickman that these bars have hands-on American managers. I know they're paying him to big them up but I don't understand how they could be so out of touch with their customers, who are mostly middle-aged Western expats at the moment. Why would they think that deafening music would appeal to them? The main purpose of these bars is to facilitate interaction between customers and girls but that's not possible if people can't hear each other talking. It's a shame because there were a few nice girls in Butterflies who I would have liked to buy lady drinks for and maybe barfined but I had to leave after 15 minutes because my ears were starting to physically hurt. So sod these 2 places, I'm never going in them again.
Not much talent in Rainbow 4. Some of the girls were topless and none had a decent pair of tits. They were mostly bad silicone jobs and the others were too small. There was a fair number of MILFS among them as well. Maybe just a couple of girls there I would consider barfining. I left before finishing my drink because another customer was smoking. I thought the whole of Nana was no smoking now but every bar I went in was allowing smoking. I don't really understand the thinking behind this either because for every customer you win by allowing smoking you're probably going to lose two non-smokers. At least the music was played at a reasonable volume.[/QUOTE]You not understand Thai business. Music is played for Thai DJ's. They don't care what you think.
I wear ear protection if that helps. Occasionally you see a staff member with ear plugs too.
