Potter Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 There was a time before Covid, when Spike was at 69 bar. It was thee bar to be at. Meeting point for mongers, part of a bar crawl. Or last drink of the night before going back to the hotel. I can remember one trip, I was doing a pretty good job staying under the LB radar and Ying caught me coming out of main bar complex @ Soi Made in Thailand and walking over towards the connecting track to Tree Town. She had a little giggle. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pulci Gorgon Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I understand why ladyboys don’t appreciate our farang forums. Our gossip, reviews, and judgments can hurt them or make them feel uncomfortable. I’m not too bothered about this particular message being posted. 2 Quote Link to comment

Agree, it only takes one bad review and a girl could lose 1000s Baht from future potential punters. She may have had an off night or didn’t click with the guy and the knock on effect can have negative financial consequences alas. As I’m just an observer these days I tend to sit back and pay more attention to the dynamics in the bars. When I see a girl heading off home alone when the bar is closing it’s very similar to anyone finishing their shift around the world, a worker in their own little world concerned with the everyday issues we all have. 1 Quote Link to comment

Heard from some guys who said that the ladyboys who they were with in a certain bar had a really shitty attitude when they didn't want to buy a second drink. Result is it is very doubtful taht I would buy a ladydrink in that particular bar. Another situation is where a cashier intentionally tried to shortchange a customer. Result is I will never put myself in a situation where I could be shortchanged in that bar. I hardly go to out to bars so I'm not impacting the bottom line but there are guys who frequent bars 20 times more often than me and that does impact a bottom line. As far as poor performance, I guess it's not the end of the world if a 1000 baht short time is a so so experience. But Western hookers try to minimize bad reviews as it will impact future business. 1 Quote Link to comment

Have you seen their kill lists and shame posts all over the net with posts of private messages between western guys and them with the guy begging or private details or avoid "this guy "posts and big photos of a guy they sneakly took a photo of in a hotel room half undressed because he did not tip them etc I see nothing like that on lbr 2 Quote Link to comment

I occasionally come across comments in PY about flaming posts on their Facebook walls or Line stories. These comments don’t prove much, except perhaps the emotional instability of the poster. By the way, I’d be curious to see one of these 'kill lists.' If you don’t want to share the URL publicly, feel free to PM me—I’d read it carefully. I was already familiar with the aggressivity of Latinas on the early forums about 20 years ago. They first came to protest about being reviewed, particlarly if the review was negative. Scammers had no scruples and no respect for their clients. In fact, they were the first trolls I ever encountered. Later on, others joined with a clear intention to ruin the forum no matter what, or even to censor it entirely. This went on until the admin—who was old and slow to act—finally decided to step in and moderate. Speaking of ladyboys, I noticed an unusual business culture among a few of them. Once upon a time in California, I came across the saying, 'Tipping ain't a city in China,' which perfectly captures how ingrained tipping is in American culture. For example, restaurant waiters in the U.S. are often paid half the minimum wage but can earn substantial income from tips. In contrast, I was occasionally advised not to tip employees in Vietnam, as tipping isn't deeply rooted in their culture. The blend of various cultures in Thailand only adds to the confusion. Some ladyboys even asked me to pay a tip before undressing in the room. No way ! In addition, I also met ladyboys freelancing in the street and asking me to pay a barfine. I noticed that some ladyboys seemed trained to empty a customer’s pockets, no matter his satisfaction. It would start with demanding money upfront, followed by offering shitty service that left the customer frustrated—ensuring he’d come back for more, assuming he still had anything left in his wallet in his hotel. IMHO, it's just short term view. I'm not convinced that an inherently dishonest ladyboy will convince her mates to do the same unless her mates are samely dishonest. However, I had wrote a TR in PY 9 years ago after I had tried ladyboys working in bars, freelancers, freelancers formerly working in bars or fake freelancers (actually working in bars). I had pointed out that ladyboys working or having worked in bars seemed to be educated or trained to keep customers unsatisfied and use this unsatisfaction to make him pay for more money. The evidence was irrefutable. To my surprise, clients were the ones defending the experts, and they did so in an extremely aggressive manner. You probably know the rest of the story since Rom already told it : flaming, bullying, warning, banning (by a mod who became later owner of a beer bar full of hogs officially owned by a ladyboy ) 1 Quote Link to comment
