Are the go-go bars not selling themselves short

[thailuv]

Why do the gay go-go bars not band together and form an "alliance" of sorts. They can then provide a "structured" tour for they farang sex tourists.

The aim would be to attract them from their countries of residence.

The alliance can serve a "one-stop shop" for sex tourists who have the specific intention of being sex tourists but find the whole process of dipping their toes in cumbersome (arranging visa, security)

Selling points
1. Strength in numbers
The farangs will get to meet other farangs on a "structured" tour therefore minimising security issues

2. The boys from the bars can also double as tour guides this opening up an alternative stream of revenue for the bars

3. The alliance can have a "loyalty program" that encourages the farangs to stick to alliance members/bars

4. When farangs procure "services" from the bar they will use their loyalty cards which have been pre-loaded with money points purchased from the alliance even before departure from home country.

5. When farangs book accommodation they will use their loyalty cards at hotels/B&b that are allied with the bars. Therefore tourist does not have to wonder if the hotel will frown on him bringing a moneyboy back for short time or long time or give "dirty"stares.

6. Economies of scale
The bars can band together and pay someone to be a "head of recruitment" for the alliance. This person's task will be to inflitrate overseas gay scenes and market the Thai go-go bar experience by emphasizing affordability Vs price charged in farangland, the security aspect since the entire tour will be structured by the alliance

Just some ideas since every now and again you hear of a bar closing due to poor economics.

Impossible to see this simple scheme not succeeding.

The very idea of having to travel with such a bunch of degenerates would be enough reason to stop such a religious, highly moral person such as myself from ever joining such a scheme .

Imagine finding yourself in the middle seat on the 12 hour plane jpurney betwen any two members here. Where's the parachute?

NIrish, To placate your conscience, you could join a tour group composed entirely of clergymen. I've heard they are quite interested in younger looking bar boys.

Hey these are businessmen if they put their minds to it, they could pull it off. Especially considering the alternative

[Nirish guy]

And I'm guessing you'd definitely be fining yourself calling for the stewardess and having to shout " I NEED TO MOVE AS THIS ONE'S TOUCHING ME AND THE OTHER IS TOUCHING HIMSELF !!!"

[thailuv]

It just seems to me that the bar businesses are too reliant on farangs who are already in Thailand and opposed to creating demand in farangland. The fact that people have to read blogs, forums before they feel sufficiently comfortable with dipping their toes in and arranging a trip shows that there is a need for a reliable, structured tour guide system that provides convenience. There is a way to advertise yourself without explicitly calling yourself a sex tourism agency

Tell that to the guys who HAVE tried that in the past and got raided / shut down / prosecuted / fined / thrown out of Thailand for doing exactly that - and and to be fair to them they WOULD say clearly that they weren't even promoting sex tourism in the first place and it was only the presence of ordinary gay magazines and pictures lying about their office that got them brought before the courts - but even then they WERE still raided and shut down in a speedy fashion.

Fucking idiotic suggestion
