Neo Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Was making the rounds at Soi Cowboy and it quickly became apparent they are ratcheting up drink prices another notch. Many are at 145 and I expect the remaining bars to fall in line for the most part as they always do. In Nana, Angel Witch is 150 baht for a drink and there is even a bar that charges 160. Patpong continues to hold the line at 100 baht a drink at the good bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Same thai logic as used by the BGs - less customers = higher price - this time used by bar-owners (also farangs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar4 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Mixed drinks in some Cowboy bars are 170 baht. That is expensive. Which bars? Are you talking about a black/jack coke or a cocktail? Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I remember seeing that on the drinks menu in Tilak last month. I didn't pay that much for G&T. Must have been cocktails. The place was packed though, with all their coyote dancers bringing them in. Trying to remember where else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 The guy that owns Spice girls was charging some stupid price over a year ago, that and 700+bht bar fines. well...we know the answer to this. I see this as part of a vicious cycle, goes like this...a fool walks into a bar, throws money around, the whores see this, figure "anyone this dumb will pay a stupid price for short time/long time...she goes back to the bar, runs her mouth about how much she is "worth" the bar owner says "anyone stupid enough to pay that much for an "ugly Issaarn girl" will pay more for drinks and bar fines..." and the process keeps repeating. As long as guys keep paying it "because it's cheaper than home" (and it getting to where it really isn't that much cheaper) it will keep getting worse.
