Bar girls: how to tell freelancer vs. Bar fine girls?
First, thanks to all for the great advice. Arrived BKK last night / this morning at 2 am. I was near brain-dead with fatigue after 25 hours of flights, but fuck that, I'm in Bangkok! I l walked around the neighborhood, found a pretty cute freelancer among many lady boys and -say-no girls even at that time of night. Back to my hotel for 2000 short time, not really GFE but still had a good time. Slept like a dead thing until 330 this afternoon!
One thing I'm not clear on is how to tell if a beer bar bar fines the girls or are they freelancers? I'm probably missing something obvious like, "just ask the bartender, fucknuts" but I figured somebody might have a quick answer here.
Actually, that is not often a scam alert for me.
[QUOTE=HorseTrader;2978601]I guess this should have been your first clue that everything that follows would be just the next step in the scam. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I didn't count up, but it sounds like the lesson was expensive. I've only been to Patong a couple of times, but each time I was either scammed or felt a scam coming.
Reminds me of November when I had a terrible massage, but while sitting outside putting my shoes on the mamasan introduced me to a new girl. She recommended LT at my hotel where the new girl would do Real Sex, per EihTooms definition. Price only 2000 for girl plus 300 to shop. I declined and price went down to 200 to shop plus 1000 girl. All along the new girl had been cuddling and caressing me. I was horny, the girl was young, perhaps 22, but not hot. I declined and found another partner elsewhere.
The next day I came back for a 300 baht oil massage with new girl, which was crap. The new girl wanted a lot of money for extras and she clearly didn't have the attitude to make me happy, so I declined again. I can only imagine how bad her all night services would have been for 1000 baht.
Sorry you had to learn that way, it happens to most punters from time to time. Thanks for the report.[/QUOTE]Well, I can attest to the fact that at least in my experience an "Of course, of course, I understand. Can do that with ladies here! Which one you like" response from a mamasan or papasan with whom the LD / tip for valuable intel exchange relationship has been established does not necessarily lead to a scam but rather to a pretty darn good result.
I just wouldn't take it to mean "all" of the girls in a bar will do BBFSCIP with me. That would absolutely be too good to be true coming from anyone managing girls in a bar just as it is reading anything of the kind from punters here regarding the girls in Pattaya or wherever. But this papasan didn't make that particular outlandish claim. And that is why I had the full conversation about it myself with the one candidate I interviewed. And when all the boxes are checked with the girl at that point too, one can not just assume it will all be a scam from that point forward.
At that point I am willing to go forward and give them room to show me and it is rare for that much pre-barfine negotiation agreement to go as sour as this one did. Not sure how much of a lesson to take from it. I mean, I certainly wouldn't now automatically assume every gogo girl who says Yes upfront with a smile to the 3 items on my check box list is probably going to scam me and it's time to move on is the proper lesson to learn from this experience, not to mention with full backing from the mamasan / papasan.
Yes, the entire Patpong bullshit and no Real Sex expedition that night cost me about 6,000 baht I think, with roughly 4,500 of it going to Virgin for drinks, barfine and the 700 baht I gave her for being naked and giving me 1 minute of lousy BBBJ foreplay. But it did buy drinks, chat, mild groping and lap dance type junk in several gogo and beer bars, a couple of stops I made and only bought myself a drink that I didn't bother to mention in that FR. And at least I salvaged 2,800 baht by not paying the scammer the full 3,500 agreed to "if" she had not been scamming me.
That is not so terrible in order to find out what is and isn't worth it in a Bangkok red light district. Particularly when getting Real Sex on any one night or place is not too critically important anyway but getting valuable intel about it is. I never would have learned anything about the place in terms of Real results unless I took the best offer and situation of the night to the limit to really find out.
I have had good experiences from Patpong in the more recent past
[QUOTE=Werqweq;2978671]Ugh, what a nightmare. Sounds like Sunny was scamming from the start, so good you managed to maintain self-control enough to get out of it without anything worse happening.
I remember a long time ago (15-20 years?) Patong had a bad reputation for scams (similar to the arab's bar on Soi Cowboy), but last few years seen several good reports from there. Obviously this "Virgin" go-go is a place to stay away from.[/QUOTE]My first visits to Patpong decades ago was when many of us experienced the dangerous upstairs ping-pong ball show scams. Thugs handing us drink bills 10 times the actual amount and not budging from blocking the doorways until we paid up. But I still managed to get past them without paying more than what was fair and spelled out on the menu.
I had some very good and easy upfront negotiated agreements for BBFSCIP with a few sexy Patpong gogo bargirls in the more recent past. Just pre-Covid. But my 2-3 attempts the other night did not show much promise for more post-Covid Patpong experiences.
