Freaking break the bank even for one night's expenses. I can cheong China or Ho Chi Minh clubs/KTV for 2-3 nights with the same money. That explains my absence in Sawasdee Khrap land these days. Jer gan. :p

Lady Drinks (Time Charge):
1st 45min usually starts with 2 drinks for most places.
3 Hours = THB1500 (5 Drinks)

Additional Drinks:
[You] THB150-200 (4 Beers) = THB600-800
[PR] THB300 (? Cocktails) = THBXXX
[Mamasan] THB300 (1 Cocktail. I usually close one eye to this. Take it as tip to her.)

Service Charge: THB100

If you worked out the math. Perhaps your PR has about 5 cocktails? Your bill is about right. If you want to damage control. Sign for every slip when your PR request for a cocktail. Check the quantity of drinks written. Scan through all those slips when you settle the bill. Scrutinsed those without your signature. Best is to just open a bottle of whisky and utilise the bottle. Just pay for mixers and ice. This is easier to keep track than to remember how many drinks and cocktails are ordered. Whisky is rather cheap and don't worry if the PR drinks like a fish. You never know what surprises you'll get with a drunken PR. French kisses and some rubba rubba. ;)

Unless you want to followup THB500 tip is too much for such places but it's up to individual. If you behave like a carrot head in clubs/KTVs. They'll just chop you for what you are worth. Sometimes chop a little bit is ok. When they are happy you'll also get good service.

tony stark - thanks alot for the breakdown. the girl probably had 4-5 drinks. i just based my bht500 tip on some posting i'd read about typical amounts for karaoke clubs.

anyway, you should write a book similar to those "stocks (or investng, computers, ms excel) for dummies". with your wealth of experience/info, you should author "cheonging for dummies". i'll be the first to buy. :D

It's always best to carry some form of verification of your identity in bangkok at all times.
It can get very tricky when u are arrested for the wrong reasons and in lockup without proper identifications. ( especially u are alone in bangkok without friends )
