Re your comment about mamasans, captains, owners having no idea what there staff can 'do'.
I recall a couple of years back a story about a farang who was offed a man from Dreamboys bar, and the man refused to give any form of service whatever (so the story goes). He went back and confrointed the shorter German owner and demanded his money back.
The German refused to refund and said : 'we run an introduction service and nothing more, and we have no responsibility whatever after the introduction is made'.
Because of this attitude of owners / managers, and because (I believe) you can't trust anything mamasans will tell you (often their only consideration is which boy to recommend to get the highest commission), I repeat my recent comment; I politely discuss in detail what I want direct with the man, and if needed I tell the mamasan /captain to disappear, and if the man doesn't give a clear yes to my requirements, then I politely and quickly end the discussion, and in most cases give him 100Baht for his time.
