<\/a>Pattaya clip joints are\u00a0 go go bars which\u00a0relentlessly pressure their\u00a0customers to buy lady\u2019s drinks at high prices. \u00a0 Over the past few years Pattaya go go bars have entered a downward spiral that offer their customers the worse of all worlds.<\/p>\n
First off, there’s the drinking experience itself in which go go dancers descend upon their customer victims like vultures whose single minded goal is to extract as many high priced drinks from each customer victim as possible. \u00a0 Then there’s the sexual experience, which if there is any, is about the highest priced one can find in a city that offers so many better options. \u00a0 \u00a0Lastly there’s the main reason that attracts so many men to Pattaya in the first place which is to empower one’s manhood. \u00a0 More often than not, \u00a0the customer feels so taken advantaged of that he feels as if he’s been de-balled.<\/p>\n
I want to describe this form of clip joint activity in three steps. 1. How go go bars used to be run in the good old days, 2. How they are run now, and 3. What recently happened to me at a Pattaya Go Go bar that is far from Walking Street and much closer to Sois 7 and Soi 5.<\/p>\n A few years ago, when I went to\u00a0go go bars, \u00a0the basic concept of ladies drinks was to break the ice between a go go girl whose English skills were usually not very good and prospective customers wishing to buy her out of the bar. Whether in Bangkok or in Pattaya the scenario went like this:<\/p>\n A customer comes into the go go bar. \u00a0The girls dancing on the stage are all wearing numbers. \u00a0When the customer is interested in one of the girls he either gets her attention by motioning \u00a0her to come over and have a drink with him or he tells a waitress or the mamasan to have number 17 (for example) to join him for a drink. \u00a0The girl soon joins him for a drink. \u00a0The potential customer will then often negotiate a price with her for either short time or long time. \u00a0This was usually around 1000 baht although I\u2019ve had a couple go go girls willing to go home with me for 500 baht.<\/p>\n If a waitress or mamasan entered into such discussions at all it was usually to interpret for the customer what the go go girl was telling him or explaining to the go go girl what the customer was saying. Back in those good old days, the waitresses and mamasans would typically leave the negotiated price between the customer and the girl.<\/p>\n This is what we looked forward to in the old days when the promises of the Man Tour experience also applied to the Pattaya go go bars.<\/p>\n<\/a>1. The way things used to be in the good old days<\/strong><\/h3>\n
