Tariffs of the lounge bars in Bangkok
There are 5 LB lounge bars and 3 GG/LB mixed bars in the Lower Sukhumvit 'Golden triangle' which covers roughly Sukhumvit Sois: 4 upto 20.
The comparison covers bar fines, ST room fees, lady drinks, and customer drinks, but typically not the service fee, which is normally negotiated directly between the customer and the lady(boy). The fees covered in this comparison are all paid directly to the bar.
Abbreviations (for newbies)
BF = Bar Fine - this is what you pay to the bar to take the lady off the floor
ST = Short Time - typically 1 hour or even just 1 pop.
LT = Long Time - typically overnight, but not 24 hours!
LB = Lady Boy
LD = Lady Drink
C9 = Chaos 9 Bar Soi 4
CB = Cat Bar Soi 7/1
CIB10 = Check-In Bar Soi 10
CIB11 = Check-in Bar Soi 11
CS11 = Cindy's Secrets Alley off Soi 11
HC = How Come by Pookie Bar (Previously Why Not 20 Bar) Soi 20
MB = Meeting Bar (Previously Sweetheart Bar) Soi 7/1
WN04 = Why Not Bar Soi 4
Finally, tariffs will change on a seasonal basis and any future changes will probably be upwards! 🙄
