as its more then 1 week ago I was able to see this site-a short correction on my earlier post (has not that much to do with bar-reviews-have not been in any since): I tried to compare the average wage these boys would be able to fetch in a NON-bar situation-about 24/25 bt/hr-or loosely between 20/30. If course I am quite aware that bars pay out less and also have an enormous list of ''fines'' to apply for coming late, smoking (buri), mobuy-foning and whatever. It was in relation to the advised 100/200 bt ''tip'' for sitting and talking (nothing more-to see if it ''clicks'') with a barboy in some places, in addition to the drink you buy him. And my regular thai nouat=old style massage from a nice ''boy/man'' with good skills and observation of sore spots, with often 10/15 mins extra added, cost me officially 160 bt, plus he gets the change from 2 reds and seems overly happy with that. Comparison?
But nice to read the fond memories of those old bars like Midnite cowboy, and even the SuperA/LuckyS duo (merged since).
