[QUOTE=HorseTrader;2967831]Prior to about 2023, the gogo mamasan collected just the barfine, often about 1000 baht. You would pay your girl separately in the room. That trend is changing. Last night my favored mamasan asked me to prepay the girl's fee in the bar. This was a surprise because I am a well known and favored customer with that mamasan. For years I've been paying the girl in the room and there has never been a problem. I declined payment in the bar and mamasan quickly agreed that I could pay the girl in the room.
The session went well and I paid the agreed fee of 3000. The girl looked shocked, as if she had never before received 3000 for ST. Her English was near zero, so we couldn't talk about it. I'm left with the impression that mamasan doesn't give the girl her full fee when you pay up front in the bar. I think this is much more skimming than the typical mamasan fee of 10%.
This is one more reason to refuse to pay the girl's fee to mamasan.[/QUOTE]She is definitely taking a big chunk, the "right" thing for us to do it to refuse paying at the bar and walking away if they don't budge. But after you already invested 10+ drinks, the lady is all over you and promised anal, you're pitching a good tent and it's 1:30 am when alternatives are about to close for the night. And the mamasan makes it clear upfront pay or no go, will you still refuse?
