[quote name="kliome"]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:[/quote

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...

I have never been in a bar where it didn't happen (ladydrink prices) after paying barfine....i reckon its not worth the drama arguing about it ....cheers donnykey

[coletrickle]

i do hope you mean treated well batman nobody needs to be threatened whilst having a beer n chilling

[soapy_g]

I went up the street twice last night ( and not too pissed) and couldn't even find it

[Rossco]

Soapy
Soi 13/1 alos known as Soi Yamoto is nearly opposite the new shopping Mall on Second Road called "The Avenue".

Proceed down 131/1.

Carry on down the Soi and La Bamba is the last bar on your left before reaching the HofHaus on Beach Road.

On your right, opposite La Bamba, is "The Legless Arms" Bar.

Hope this helps your orientation.....

[koykaeng]

Does La Bamba have a sign out front yet :?:

There is a sign, although perhaps it needs a more prominent one ?

I didn't have any trouble finding it, but then again I do read the forum sometimes !

Cheers
Koykaeng

[soapy_g]

Thanks Rossco - i must have walked right past it as i remember everything else you mentioned. ALso found Stringfellows ok... although that will be the subject of another post shortly.

I do actually read the forum ( a lot honest guv) but clearly need the wonderful map of Pattaya thats on google. Only prob is the Tim Boutique's wirless seems to be blocking access to it

[soapy_g]

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 ?
