well,when so many people start to pick up girls on the street,discos or massage institutes,its hard to get girls working in the bars.so many bars now have to give the girls salary,good commission on drinks and barfine,sometimes also butter them up with food,or day offs etc.otherwise the girl wont work.and if a guy comes up having a singha,1ladydrink and want to barfine the girl,its no economy for the bar owner.with a barfine of 200baht it will not even break even...
with email,phones etc the girls get lazier,(knowing their #value?) and with sponsors that sending girls money,they dont want to sit in a bar from say 10-02.and the barowners have to do something to attract girls to work.and at same time not loose money.the girls wanna make money,the barwowner gotta alot to pay for,and also need to make money.
and the prices for drinks and barfines and ladydrinks are 15-20%higher in soi tiger then elsewhere,but still its crowded.and people still pay...
