Other point: I read here and in other fora that it now seems the custom to tip boys for sitting with you-extra to the moreorless obligatory drink you have to buy them. Even 100-200 bt is mentioned for that. Is this serious? I have hardly been inside a bar since 2000-and the few last ventures were not promising either (overloud music, smoke, no exciting go-go) and always assumed that drink was it. Normal hourly wages for those lads are like 24/25 bt/hr-make that 30 as generous and for easy computing. OK- I know there are more sleezy bars where you can sit a bit discreet and do more as talk and inspect the wares of offer-is this implied then? From that distant past I really cannot recall any hint or expectation in that direction. Like if you go in a shop/stall and inspect the wares and then decide they dont have what you want-would you pay for that? Many of those vendors also only do 3-4 sales/day and sit in the blazing sun all day for that.
