There is one boy at KD (and there have been others at other bars)who I see from time to time. The first few times I took him off I went to the bar, had a drink or two with him, bought a few drinks for a few other boys and tipped them a little each. I did get his mobile number and did arrange for him to come to my condo without me going to the bar everytime. He comes here early in the evening, so it's not a matter of him waiting until he's off work. His absence from the bar would have to be noted since it would be when he should be starting work ... and I always give him his tip plus B300 for the off fee. Obviously I don't know if he turns in the off-fee or pockets it, but his absence couldn't be concealed. I still occasionally call and say I will meet him at the bar for a drink or two before offing him. I enjoy having a few of the other boys sit with us for a short chat and a little hands-on appreciation of their assets, but wouldn't want to do that week after week. Generally, even when I do go to a bar to off someone, I'm usually there as soon as the doors open, drink one nam soda and either off someone in the first few minutes or move on. Watching the zombie shuffle or even the shows, whether sexy or allegedly entertaining, no longer appeals to me.
When I first started this with him, he came here as often as a couple of times a week ... always during his regular working hours. I don't call him that much any more, but a few days ago he called me, which I took to mean he was probably not getting offed that frequently these days.
I do have a LT friend with whom I'm still quite happy, so these butterfly adventures tend to lose their novely in time and I look for someone new as a regular to call when I'm alone and feeling in need of a little meaningless comfort.I make a point of telling these guys that I have a LT friend (photos prominently on display) so they don't think they're settling into something permanent. For them it 's a more regular source of income over a longer period than if I was a tourist just spending a week or two here, but the novelty fades quickly for me as the butterfly effect kicks in. Anyway I've never found anyone who compares favorably to the Light of My Life!! :sunny: .
This is only a tip and itтАЩs up to you but all of the boys that work for me work free style so do not get cut if they do not come to work. After saying that I personally tip each boy on his performance in the bar over the month on things like time keeping and if they have paid for a decent amount of offs so, the boys very rarely pass on to the bar a off paid out side the bar so pay the boy as you feel but you donтАЩt have to take into consideration the bar fee.

But I am beginning to see more boys exchanging telephone numbers with customers. On a another point I have to say I have read many comments about bar owners not catering for there flang customers, now I have to say I cant speak for any other bar than my own, but I have a 3 to 1 Thai customer base over flang and I welcome each customer the same Thai or flang I like every body that visits to enjoy.
I am thinking about putting a few pointers on the board to try to help the customers get the best out of the bar and there visit and I know I am going to get hammered for this but I am going to try it any way.
So letтАЩs try.
1. A good day to visit the bar is always the 5th of the month itтАЩs the boys pay day you can usually be assured of the max number of boys in the bar.
2. We have a promotion on 100 piper for a persons birthday Free 100 piper and you pay for 6 mixer and ice 380bht, thatтАЩs less than most places you can buy 100 piper, Now I donтАЩt now if the waiters are not getting this offer across to flang customers as in the past two months Thai have taken the offer 16 times compared to 1 flang maybe it a language problem I donтАЩt know.
3. Remember all drinks after 12am are 99bht, you will also notice the boys happy to sit with you that 60 minutes for a drink before meeting you out side, and before any body comments that every body should pay offs you have to be blind to not now this happens any way in every bar.
4. If you are one that likes lots of boys sitting with you why not consider opening a bottle itтАЩs a lot cheaper than buying 6 or 7 boys drinks and donтАЩt by shy about telling the waiter to slow down on the mixing of the drinks if they are trying to empty the bottle on you, donтАЩt forget you can take the bottle out with you donтАЩt have to let them empty it.
5. Tipping you donтАЩt have to tip every boy that walks past you its up to you as they say just tip the odd boy you like the look of.
6. So lets see if I get hammered for this one apologies now for any spelling errors and remember some people out there reading this might not be regulars go-go bar visitors for the know it alls out there.
I have never been in your bar (or in any other go-go bar for a number of years, so don't take it personally!), but I can't see why anyone would hammer you for being honest, both about the boys and the customers. Having said that, I did venture once into Happy Boys once, very briefly, soon after it opened and I can only say that I wish my visit had been even briefer and so have quite a lot of sympathy with Dodger's comments if there is any similarity.
As for the 100 Pipers birthday offer, maybe it's not the waiters - your Thai customers may be more "flexible" over their birthday dates than the resident expats! My main gripe about the prices of drinks from the dim and distant past (OK, only a few years) was that when comparing the actual costs of drinks beer drinkers were always charged more, per drink, than those buying bottles of spirits and mixers; once I moved further outside Pattaya (and it's not that I don't drink, I just don't drink and drive) and stuck to soft drinks this became even more marked, as I noticed that it would actually have been cheaper, in a lot of bars, for me to buy a bottle of Sang Thip (or any other cheap spirit) and mixers and to give the spirit away and drink the mixers than to order only the mixers. Strange. Maybe bar owners just assume the boys are more likely to be offed when the customers are plastered!
Again to be honest with you a customer that has opened a bottle is more likely to off 1 or 2 boys. As for the free bottle provided on birthdays there have only been 1 or 2 occasions when the customer has not open a second bottle at the normal price which is as I expected when I put the offer on.

Or maybe the boys are more willing to be offed when they are plastered. :sunny:

I really should be happy (and a good deal richer) if I stuck exclusively with my LT friend. Time doesn't seem to have diminished my feelings for him on all levels. Generally, no matter how badly I want something/someone, as soon as I get it/him, I start to lose interest. In his case. my feelings seem to be as intense, or maybe more so, than they were originally. And I'm totally gobsmacked to realize he's mine ... and he seems quite happy to be mine!!
BUT there's still an underlying urge to flit about, sampling from the buffet, so to speak. Definitely not looking for a replacement, but something to nibble on when I get the urge to munch (to bludgeon the buffet metaphor to death). But with these second tier players, my feelings do tend to diminish after a few weeks, maybe up to a few month, and I find myself eyeing the buffet once again.
Maybe rather than speaking of the butterfly effect, I could say it's like the owner of a 5 star restaurant who still gets cravings for a chilli dog, bangers & mash or a little spotted dick ( I have no idea what spotted dick is, but I assume it wouldn't be found in a 5 star restaurant and the name never ceases to amuse).

They differ all night.
Before 9pm 299bht plus mixers at 60bht each ice 20 bht bucket
After 9pm 499bht plus mixer and ice as above.
Or if you prefer
1200bht for all inclusive. Some people prefer small measures and more mixers and opt for this option, and we have no rule about keeping the bottle you are welcome to take it with you when you leave.
Any second bottle open on the night will also be discounted.
Re: Random Pattaya go go bar visitations..
Well done mark.
Appreciate your open and realistic attitudes as a bar owner.
Re: Random Pattaya go go bar visitations..
The temptation to post in this thread was overwhelming when I was a bit tipsy when I got in last night, thank the Greek gods I went on to bed instead..
Its hard to imagine how a thread this long got back on topic after straying so far away for a few posts. I will say Mark defends himself well and with clarity. He obviously does well in business for a reason. As to who's still on friend and foe or ignore, I like Smiles, think the whole concept is childish.

Re: Random Pattaya go go bar visitations..
While the Boyztown go go bar prices have increased over time, one
should also note the price increases in the Sunee Plaza go go bars, with
the exception of Krazy Dragon..
I believe 120B. or 130B. have become common prices in bars like
Nice Boys and Legun. Happy Boys also increased prices to around 120B. as I recall. JJJ also 120B. minimum and perhaps Euro Boys
has a promotion and cheaper prices. Not sure about Cocktail either..
I stand to be corrected on exact drink prices in the
Sunee Plaza go go bars but they are not that much cheaper than in
the Pattayaland soi 1,2,3 boy go go bars.
Prices are lower in the beer bars in Sunee. In the Boyztown area prices
border on the outrageous at the outside decks of Cafe Royale and Panorama ain't cheap either.. :cat:
