hall Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Thanks Nepfan. My question was ambiguous.Sorry. I took a dek serve out of a bar for one week on my last trip so I've done the tasting bit! lol.I was really asking to try to work out if I overpaid on the barfine. Looks like I did! I paid 3500baht for one week = 15,000baht for a month.So looks like I overpaid.(unless it's cheaper by the month!!) I was just interested to see whether a better deal good be obtained by dealing with the bar owner or girl. Looks like I should deal with the owner. Much cheaper.

Guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Do any of the go go bars actually require waitresses (dek-serves) to get a certain amount of "offs" (barfines) per month. ritic's post suggests this is the case while Nepfan suggests otherwise. I also always thought it was otherwise, but now I am not so sure. I am particularly curious because my best and worst experiences have been with dek-serves. On the one hand, with a few dek-serves, I had to woo them over a period of time, and when we finally went out it was more like being with a girlfriend (good and bad) than, well, a regular dancer. It was as though there was a real relationship there, and part of that was based on my (perhaps naive) assumption that I was with a girl who did not regularly go with customers. On the other hand, with a other dek serves, they promised all when I was in the bar, but once bar-fined, they got very reserved. One practically bolted from the moment we left the bar. I felt as though I had been taken. If they are required to have a certain number of bar fines a night, but really do not want to go with customers, this could explain why they got so reserved after we left the bar. They feel compelled to get a bar fine to protect their salary, but really do not want to go with the customer. If this is true - its bad for the girl and bad for the customer. This could actually lead to some rather ugly situations. OK, having provided this background, can someone provide me with a straight answer. If the answer varies from bar-to-bar, and specifics can be provided, I would love to know what the situation is in different NEP bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Each required Barfine results in 1 less 500B deduction. if a dek serve achieves zero offs a month then she gets 1500, she gets 1 off she gets 2000B, 5 off's 4000B 6 offs 4100B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
