ravip Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Several women sat with him and he himself drank four small beers but the bill came at Bt10,000. Any cheap places one could do this? Maybe for about 20 Baht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanJones Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 How much is a beer? Handy question to ask before drinking. Hello sir it's only 2500 baht and a minor beating. Ok then it's against my religion to drink thanks bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the authorities cant clean up the karaoke bars, they know are unlicensed, what hope is there. Yes its not hard to theorise who owns them The bars owners are colluding with the police and paying them bribes, so when you file a complaint they'll just said we'll interview them but won't do anything to them... so it's a lose lose situation for the foreigners.

ShortTimed Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Only for the case you don't know it. In Germany is prostitution allowed. Prostitutes are legal taxpayers. And believe me it gives much more prostitutes there as in Thailand. And ST is a lot cheaper as here. You can google for it if you don't believe it. Well I will have to take your word for it that German parents going to Thailand on holiday with their families would read this story and worry that they may be unsafe coming here.

So, what homework do you expect him to do when a taxi driver asks: "wanna go to a karaoke bar?" And if you don't know what a Karaoke bar is supposed to be, take up a dictionary. There are the following possibilities: 1) A German man new to Thailand came here to sing Karaoke on his first night. Thailand is known the world over for its Karaoke. 2) The tuk-tuk driver showed him naked photos and said, “You like lady?” And he said lets go. 3) ??? But even if he thought he was going for Karaoke, wouldn’t he have realized before drinking four beers that something was different in this one?

raccos21 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 This will happen if the government is changing many rules and regulations on the foreigners so the local will take an the advantage of them. And sooner will happen everywhere, because of the local needs to survive. If there is no one come here so they local ripping the one walked in. They need to be aware of what is going on.

However I have been caught out, in pat pong I went into a bar to watch a show, never been b4, sat down had one beer then went to leave and charged 1000 BHT for the beer, they let me go as I rang my Thai wife who was shopping and came to the rescue. I don't know of many expats who have not been caught by some scam or drugged, one guy I knew was a doctor and lived in LOS for 20 years then got drugged by a high class girl who sat down at his table in Sukhomvit, ect ect------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a bottle of sangsom in a karaoke bar probably 500 baht. 3-4 rounds of lady drinks for several girls (@200 baht each) could easily run a couple of thousand baht. You pay for the girls to sit with you in a karaoke bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack61 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 17 hours ago, smedly said: Good advice but I would add - if you don't know the place ask the price before ordering and pay the bill immediately - there have been many reports about these types of bars in Chang Mai and other places If I go to a bar I am not familiar with and they are not showing a price list then I ask before ordering and immediately check the bill, some bars don't like this for very obvious reasons, their ability to rip me off diminishes dramatically If they don’t display prices they don’t want my business. Goes for all shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaos Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 They did that to me too. Asked tuktuk take me to club. He took me to karaoke on some main rd. I'm middle of nowhere. I decided to check it out. I was only 1 customer. Had few drinks food and they gave me 25k bill. Fought with them all a bit then had to pay with card. They didn't want 7k cash. So paid card morning called bank got it all reversed. Free party. Greed doesn't pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
