Pattaya Reports

[Mr Enternational]

I know that Pattaya is cheaper to live in than Phuket but, are the women really only settling for 1000 bhat? If that was the case, that was the rate 20 years ago and when I was in Phuket the cheapest price quote I got was 2500 bhat.

They are not settling. 1000 baht is still a lot of money. Just because foreigners come in throwing around money, does not mean the Thais see it as a little money. It is the same as my apartment was 4500 baht 17 years ago and my taxi to the airport was 1000 baht 17 years ago, the same as they are today. If people do not know how or do not want to negotiate is a different story. But that is also the price in the BJ bars and gentlemen's clubs. And I have never had a problem negotiating this in the massage shops.

I got ripped off by a Russian girl at a gogo on Walking Street in February. My first trip to Pattaya and I went into a place that said "Russian Strippers". There were a few hot girls and many were quite aggressive about asking me to go to a "private room" while I was lounging with a beer and watching the dancers. They initially asked for 3 K Baht, but quickly came down to 2 K or 1.5 Ksimilar to ST pricing anywhere else. I was aware that some gogos have a boom boom room on-site and one girl told me "I will make you cum". Being a few beers into the night I went with her. In back they had a counter where you pay in advance, cash or credit card. Just the fact that they offered to accept credit card was a red flag re: scams so I paid the 1.5 K Baht w / cash.

In the room there was music, disco lights, and she began to dance and strip. I sat back and watched. I thought that at some point she would undo my pants and begin the "I will make you cum" part. But no! After about ten minutes or so she turned off the music and put her clothes on. When I asked about the boom boom she said the money was only for a dance, etc. I didn't bother complaining to the club. I'm sure they were in on the scam too. I just left and chalked it up to a lesson learned.

You didn't get scammed at all. That's the price of a private dance. FFS. You actually thought a Russian stripper would short time you for 1,500 baht. Hahahah.

I did two separate verifications, the verbal confirmation and the internet search. One would think that is enough.

If you directly asked the management and they lied to you, you're right, they are at fault. But you won't be able to get anything out of it.

If you just asked the "girl" and her friends, that' s not the same.

Anyway, you won't get your money back. You're already lucky they didn't put a foot in your room.

It's better to get over it and write a review everywhere on the internet, that might damage the reputation of these treacherous bastards employing lbs without making it clear for every customers.

Soi 7, soi 8, soi Honey, soi Chayaphum are full of lbs, anybody who's not comfortable with these kind of places should avoid these sois completely.

5000 baht? You better go find her on Thai Friendly for 1000 baht.

Name the bar if it is as you claim.

Bassline bar.

You checked Google but not ID? Suss.

Anyway, keeping sussing all you want. There is nothing I could say or do further to make you believe me.

Their employee lied to me about not being a ladyboy. Any bar with a sane management should offer refund as a goodwill gesture in such cases.

Name the bar if it is as you claim. There is a cottage industry emerging in Pattaya reporting the woes of certain visitor groups. Perhaps consider yourself fortunate that no gold chain was snatched? You checked Google but not ID? Suss.

P.S. : Was it not one of the key appeals of barfining that if something goes wrong (such as theft), you have somewhere to go and report?

Nope, how did you get that idea? The point of barfine is to release the girl from working at that particular location. What happens after you leave is completely your affair. It is not a matter for the bar. Theft is a matter for the hotel to manage, which is why they required your "girl" to surrender her ID for the duration of her stay. Count your fortunes and move on. Enjoy, AR.

Also, as I said, realistically I do not think I am getting that money back. Many of their other employees seem to be in on the scam. May be the bar is too.

You are entering a slippery slope.

What if your barfine was a lady, but gave you a poor performance? Do you ask for a refund?

A disappointing BJ? Refund?

Your best option is to name the bar here to warn others.

[Rajnath]

It's not the bar's fault you chose a ladyboy. Why should they give you a refund?

I had a bad experience recently.

At around 2 AM, I asked a pretty-looking Soi 7 bar "girl" if they are a ladyboy because of the tall height and somewhat deep voice. They said no. For a freelancer, I would do ID verification right there but this was a bar and they said no in front of the other bar girls.

I got a drink at the bar but I wanted to confirm further because my spidey senses were still going off. I looked up the bar on Google. Absolutely no mention of ladyboys anywhere. But there were many reviews about really pretty girls. Now I start feeling a little bad wondering if that point-blank "are you ladyboy?" question was hurtful. For 1000 THB, I barfine them.

Guess what? We reach hotel lobby. The staff speaks with them in Thai. Awkward silence follows, which I assume is because the staff asked if they have told me they are a ladyboy. Staff breaks it to me, "you caught a ladyboy". I was livid but there was not much to be said. I have the ladyboy step out and ask for a barfine refund.

They make a few phone calls. In between they asked me if I am okay, to which I said no. I tried to call the bar's listed phone number on internet but the calls go unanswered. After a few minutes, the ladyboy refuses the refund because "the fee has gone to the shop already"..

It's not the bar's fault you chose a ladyboy. Why should they give you a refund?

https://massagerepublic.com/female-e...ke-you-hate-meCan anyone tell me if she is genuine, any review.

Plenty of seemingly satisfied MR reviews from what seem to be Arabs and Indians. She is definitely the typical meaty spec. According to her questions, she doesn't allow gangbangs from groups of guys, so you are out of luck if you are trying to share the burden with mates. Good luck!

This very same thing happened to me in Las Vegas in 1984. LOL.

It amazes me how these places manage to thrive for so long after so many people (pretty much every customer) have been scammed.

Even on my first visit to WS in 2010 I had already read beforehand to stay away from the Russian show / gogo places because that's exactly the type of shit that happens. It's either crazy expensive or you don't get what you expected (often both).

And right now there are more of these places than ever. I think they must prey mostly on clueless Indians who wouldn't know how to research, but from your example it shows that even westerners (I assume) can sometimes get scammed.

I sometimes enjoy an Irish Coffee while people watching at King's Cafe on Walking Street across the street from Ice Bar. I may sit there for an hour and it's interesting because there's a Russian GoGo next to it and I've never seen a dancer from there go with a customer. Most customers seemed to be curious lookers, many were Indian but not all, and they all seemed to leave before I could finish my drink.

I went into one of these places when they first opened, I think it was in 2007, a Thai girl I bar fined asked me to take her to one. The dancers expected a tip from each customer every dance or they would become very disagreeable. The first dancer I tipped, I leaned forward to rub my face into her boobs and she told me don't even think it. It was enough to convince me to never return.
