Despite the annoying tip pestering
[QUOTE=BoobsMcghee;3080580]I decided to give the gogos a solid try, seeing as I'd never really been before. I visited a couple nights prior, but mostly to scope out Nana and see how the gogos work, and even got taken for around 1,500 baht with the "hostess" scam where she cannot be barfined. It was amazing seeing everything in real time and KNOWING what was happening literally as it was going on lmao, thanks to reading the forum.
Especially thanks to the amazing advice from this forum, I finally got the courage to go all in and barfine a hottie at Mandarin (by Red Dragon). I walked in and was immediately seated by a server. Like previous nights, I ordered a LEO and just watched the show. The only annoying thing was everyone from all directions asking for tips and just straight dry begging. Me being a newb and a beginner, I just said whatever, let them keep the change, and handed out some tips. Whatever.
After a while, I finally spotted a hottie on stage, at which point I had Mamasan point the laser. Turns out this little firecracker was 23, and her name was "O" or "Oh" or some shit. Two-LD minimum, around 480 baht.
Anyway, her speaking little English, we talked and made out for a bit, with the servers and Mamasan being annoying, asking me to buy her "2 drink, 2 drink" every damn 5 minutes (although apparently you can buy the girl one or none after the first two, according to this thread). The server was asking for a tip, the person bringing me the bill was asking, Mamasan was asking for drinks and tips, etc. All annoying. I'the appreciate some wisdom on how to combat this in the future...[/QUOTE]Constant tipping can largely be avoided and brushed away with a smile despite a bar's staff and mamasan's constant pestering for tips. The bottom line result of getting Real Sex / DFK, BBBJ and BBFSCIP with a gogo bar hottie for 5,000 - 6,000 baht all in for that part of it, the barfine paid at the bar and the girl's fee always paid after the sex, all agreed to upfront before the barfine is paid and with as little argument and hassle about it in the bar and in the room as you described is worth every baht and moment of minor annoyance along the way, in my humble opinion.
As always, YMMV.
Some Thoughts on Tipping for Nothing in LOS
[QUOTE=BoobsMcghee;3080580] Anyway, called her a cab, walked her downstairs, and off she went. Great girl. I am now a believer in the gogos. However, the constant dry begging is fucking annoying.[/QUOTE]Good report Boobs. You highlight the current good and the bad with Go Go's and with LOS P4P in general. It has been almost 6 years since I was in LOS, but I am coming back in 2027 after Songkran. I am calling it "the Big Trip" since it will be around the world and last 3 months. Where I have been punting in the meantime is in a no tip culture where the girls, no matter the venue, no matte how hot, never ask for tips, nobody asks for tips, and frankly I will not be in the mood to deal with the constant pestering BS you described in your report. I am a Go Go guy. This is where I like to play, so it's going to be interesting to see how this all works out. It may turn out to be my last trip to Thailand, but I am not coming for a 7 to 14 day vacation. I plan to stick around in BKK & Pat for a minimum 6 weeks total although that can change quickly if I am not happy here. But I am somewhat optimistic because I believe I will find my preferred Go Go's rather quickly where the staff including the girls will realize what I will tolerate thus the begging for tips and hounding for extra drinks will be kept at a minimum. I could be wrong. 555. But it's too God damn bad LOS has turned into such a tourist trap. It sounds like Cowboy and Soi 6 (in Pattaya) are gone forever. What a shame! I blame the internet, mass tourism, and the separation of farang bordellos from local Thai bordellos for this tourist-tration. Thai punters do not put up with this (tip, sir, tip, sir) crap. Its unbecoming.
