BG attempted to fleece me

[Platinum Knight]

My point exactly in post 35, however, times are tough outside of the 'peak' period. A friend is a dancer in another Tiger bar and in May I bought her more lady drinks in one night than she'd had in the previous week. No wonder she is happy to see me (and my money). Even her BF/Sponsor isn't as generous as me, but I guess he thinks he 'owns' her.

thaiboxer - since you used "attempted" in your title it is technically correct albeit a little heavy for an email. at any rate I like it.

Just wanted to let you know that whatever the situation, when you return (and you will return...) and if you run into her she will remember your visit, not the email... at least that IMHO.

God yeah I'll return - 10 months and 12 days to go!

Thanks for all the replies guys - to be honest I felt like a bit of a bastard when I told her it wasn't going to happen, but you've all managed to ease my conscience

Maybe I will bump into her when I'm back, but I wont be taking her home again - lesson well and truly learned! Besides, there's plenty of other girls in Patong.....

And so you should TB. Poor girl is waiting for you to return, staying chaste. I don't know how you can live with yourself when there is so much suffering... Anyway, I'll give her your heartless regards when I see her in Dec.:wink2:

Based on the posted topic for this discussion, how many bar girls (or boys) really try to "fleece" a visitor? Trying their hardest to get some $$$$ is not fleecing, just business. Nothing wrong with that. Guys try to get what they want from girls, and vice versa.

However, "fleece" brings up a whole different connotation. Based on my very limited personal experience, it's pretty rare, but maybe I just haven't had enough experiences here. So, am I in the minority, or majority? How many people have been the victim of "fleecing"?

It's only happened to me two or three times. The first was to pay money ahead, for someone to visit me the following day because of a conflict that night. Of course the following day never happened, and equally of course, I never have gone for that line again. It's always "pay today for today", and nothing more, ever. The second time was when someone offered something for "free", but a bit later on, the "free" part was forgotten. Again, never again. My own bottom line is ALWAYS agree on a price beforehand, and NEVER allow it to be changed unless BOTH parties are in agreement.

I'm sure there are many more ways to be "fleeced". I used to leave a broken cell phone or equivalent laying around in an obscure part of my room. If the phone was untouched, after having a visitor, I had a lot more trust in that visitor. If it mysteriously vanished, I knew enough to never again invite that person. (Just for the record, the broken phone was left alone for two years, and only vanished when I had someone over who I didn't really trust completely to begin with. Obviously, that person was never invited back, and while I thought it might be interesting to confront the person, that hasn't happened yet.)

Sure sounds like "fleecing" :
