Hi Laptop


Well, it would be a nightmare if we all had the same tastes in LBs wouldn't it? Seriously though, she looks great from where I'm sitting. Enlighten me, what's missing?

I would have to agree with Stuart , I think she looks hot , but I probobly would not hunt her down. If I bumped into her I would see if there was any chemistry though.

As they say... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Truth be told, I see some real horrors in people's trip reports and posts and some of the so-called superstars do zilch for me. But that's just my opinion.

If I have nothing nice to say I don't pass comment, plus less competition for the ones that I like.

Just to add; the amount of caked on make-up some of these girls wear looks dreadful in the flash of a camera, in the flesh they look so much better

I think the photo of Sin is pretty accurate. I met her earlier this month and although I didn't BF her, I did chat with her for a while. She is a real sweetheart to spend time with. Pretty easy to talk to and is really concerned that you're having the "best time" you can, while at La Bamba.

For instance, while we were talking, she kept telling me that if there was someone else I saw, who I liked better, she would go over and bring them to me. No issues at all, in the event she isn't your cup of tea. Drama free!

All in all, she's a pretty cool gal.

Thats really true. Its interesting to see what different opinions we have on girls or ladyboys. I am sure there are also many i like that others think are dragons.

How much is the bar fine in La Bamba? I know prices are generally lower than in Bkk, where I was based in February.

Also, if you bar fine early in the evening, to "reserve" your LB, do you have to leave straight away, or can you spend the rest of the evening in the bar with her before heading off to your hotel, or does this become LT?

Thanks

(All my experiences in BKK were with a freelancer so havn't a clue!)

Getting back to the topic in hand

I managed to get myself back down Soi yamoto ( 13/1) and did find it from the excellently clear directions of Rossco above !

They could do with a sign though, as i could have walked past again if not for the directions.

I got there around 1245 last night and it was a bit quiet although 2 gals were engaged upstairs i was told. Saw Janni and An (?) who were lovely but didn't get into it as it was a little slow for me.

To be fair thats probably the time of year ?

As a general rule, once you pay the bar fine you are free to stay in the bar, or scome and go as you please. I would have thoght in most cases the bar would prefer you to stay and buy more drinks.

The only thing is, most bars will charge you for a lady drink rather than the regular price, should you buy your LB further drinks.

Actually kliome, I dont think what you say is quite accurate. Once you have paid the bar fine the girl "has left work". As such she is no longer entitled to ladydrinks as work has finished. My advice to people who stay on in a bar with a girl that they have already paid the bar fine for, is to tell the girl and the cashier that its drinks at normal prices now. Check your bills as you receive them and querrie any that are ladydrink prices and send them back for a new bill. Charging Ladydrink prices for a bar fined girl is a scam.

In a perfect world you are correct, but from my experiences I'd say a lot, if not most bars will try to charge you for lady drink even after you've paid the bar fine - in BKK and Pattaya.

I've experienced this just about every time in Nana, to the point where it's not even worth arguing with the bar staff. Just take it out of their tip :wink:

Yes this does have to be the biggest Quasi Scam around, and whats worse is I've chatted at times with a number of Mamsans over it and many really just dont understand why its wrong. You end up feeling like your better off banging your head against the wall. Its the same with paying the BF and then your young lady starts running around serving drinks etc while sitting with you.

In fact now I remember I had this argument with a LB bar owner of all people who couldnt see why you shouldnt pay LadyDrink prices after you'd BF'd one of their staff.

Its a lose lose issue, most staff simply dont get why you object to paying and the BF'd GG/LB think your denying them the drink money and on top of that you lose face if you argue.

Even Kliome's advice isnt that great as you still end up being regarded as a Cheap Charlie by the wait staff as they wont understand why you didnt tip.

My best advice if your in a place that tries to charge, simply smile and say thanks then explain you really need to go wander and if you take your new friend to another close bar to the original one tell your companion you moved so they didnt have to feel guilty about not assisting in the bar work!

Oh and there is one worse situation that has nearly had me scream when I take a freelancer from one bar to another bar where they sometimes freelance and have them start trying to charge me LadyDrinks in that bar..

Laugh I've seen guys get into screaming matches with Mamasans when buying drinks this way, just think of it as a difference in culture. =)

[batman4ever]

yes its funny about the way they think...i remember when i met Oh...i think it was our second day...and i had already barfined her, sitting in 131...noticed that i payed ladydrinks for her...then i told franck that next time i saw that...ill go another bar... that helped...

but maybe even more funny was last time....me and Oh...(in Litas as everyday) were having a small party with Jimbo(from CD) and TTChang....and i found out that Oh had "made" almost 200 bath from ladydrinks they have bought her...

the next day i had a conversation with Lita....she couldnt see anything wrong in that..... well...ill guess TIT wins again...
