Having just spent a few days in Bangkok , thank god the chinese are keeping these bars open,its certainly not down to the europians, having to pay 800 baht for two drinks in most bars we walked in , ordered a beer and a a water, and on two occasions mammasan asking for a drink which I flaterly refused to buy .and one thing that really bugs me ,i alway tip, but unfortunately at 800 baht a time i cant afford to tip in these bars ,on two occasions the waiter asked for a tip, which i found quite cheeky ,considering he was the one that only brought my bill.Having visited these bars for over 10 years ,i can only say they are way over priced, ok you get a show,but some of these shows are the same every night ,dont change much .
