That is the mistake so many make
[QUOTE=Goatscrot;1796235]We are not talking about other places. We are talking about Thailand. What you pay in other places is completely irrelevant. Especially considering the local min wage is 300 Baht a day.[/QUOTE]Just because the minimum wage is Baht 300/ a day does not make it illogical for WGs to charge Baht 3000/ hour. It is somthing called market forces and the global flow of information. Nothing you and others moan about on this thread can influence this. Bear in mind Bangkok is a tourist centre for Japanese all eager to try a Thai WG. We are not talking about local expat regulars who, were I in their shoes, I would have met up with a friendly f*ck for the price of a meal and drinks. And an enhanced taxi fare home.

We are the market. And right now almost all venues are hurting. Why? High prices and poor service.
