Not all that's written Is In stone
[QUOTE=Bonzo1]2000 baht as per mama's (written) instructions. So all told, 500 for BF, 500 for ST hotel, 600 for outfit, and 2000 ST = 3600 baht out of pocket.[/QUOTE]
Oh that old chestnut, the mamasans love there price lists these days, was It laminated by any chance, and said short time 2000b, long time 4000b ?
I just Ignore them most the time If they give me the newbie (mug) welcome,
can't be bothered with them.
Though sounds like you had a good session anyway, I've not been to Patpong for a while, Is the talent still fair? And the drink prices still reasonable?

Patpong: more than slimy ping pong balls...
I live across from Patpong, so I go there once in awhile...[QUOTE=Bonzo1]Patpong is probably still the same as it was a couple or few years ago - some definite talent hiding with a lot of fugglies. Probably need to go fairly early to find the talent as I can't imagine how some of those girls ever get BF'd and so likely the good ones are gone by later (or if lucky already done a ST and are back.)[/QUOTE]There are quite a few decent looking women sprinkled around Patpong...Safari Bar, Black Pagoda, Electric Blue, Bada Bing, some of the King's bars...but it varies from night to night. Late night at Twilo Club you can sometimes find pretty ones after they get off work and are still hunting for customers.
[QUOTE=Bonzo1]No idea about the drink prices. I never pay attention to that. It's a few pennies in the overall scheme of things (though in sum I probably spend more on drinks actually, which granted is a bit stupid but I enjoy it.) [/QUOTE]Drinks in Patpong are generally cheaper than Cowboy. The clubs with music charge more (e.g., Twilo).
[QUOTE=Bonzo1]Question/advice - what a good way to "ignore the mama's" and all the myriad of other girls (and sometimes even guy waiters) asking for/demanding drinks non-stop? The more specific you can be the better. I always feel like I have to buy a certain amount of drinks before I BF just to keep the company of the girl, lest she be put back on stage. How can one say no repeatedly but keep the girl (or girls) sitting with him?[/QUOTE]You can sit alone, say "no," and then pick the girl you want to buy the drink for. But it will be hard to keep your chosen girl's interest if you say "no" while considering your interest and discussing barfine options. They have drink quotas and are honestly thirsty. A drink for the "-san" that you asked to get the girl for you does not hurt for future forays into the bar.
For the pesky ones, maybe bring an empty wallet with just enough for a drink or two, and show it and say, [i]"mai me satang...or satang nit noi..."[/i] The pesky ones can be a real pain in the arse, though, when they don't give up. It can spoil the fun for me and often I just leave.
