Pattaya Lady Drinks

Pattaya Girls working in the bar scene, whether they be employed on a monthly salary or freelancers just propping up a bar stool and chatting with friends who may be working at the bar in question, are always seeking to supplement their income by way of lady drinks. go-go bar operators impose a lady drinks per month minimum on their dancers as part of the salary package. For example, a go-go bar may tell a girl she needs to accrue 30 drinks a month from customers (as well as four or more offs). Lady drinks in most sensible go-go bars are priced between 80 and 100 baht. Some bar owners, for some reason these are usually in the worst or least attractive places, charge anywhere from 120 to 145 and more baht.
Pattaya girls will receive an average of 20-30 baht per drink, which they collect at the end of the night. Usually this is enough to pay for a plate or two of food after work each night and maybe a motorbike taxi home. That’s if they haven’t been bar-fined of course, or they happen to be the only Thai girl in Pattaya who is not hungry on average once every two to three hours. The above is one reason why a dancing girl, and even some waitresses, hustle customers for lady drinks. It’s not they want a drink per se; they want the money, honey. In some go-go bars, it might not be the dancer who makes the approach for the drink, it will be a waitress. The latter will stand in front of you and make the internationally recognized elbow bending movement followed by pointing at you and then the girl sitting with you. It’s entirely up to you whether you succumb to the pressure or not. If you happen to spot a girl you fancy and ask her over, then she is entitled to think you’ll at least purchase a drink for her, and this is fair.
