Mai Thai Bar and Nightlife in general

[Pompal 09.]

I know exactley where that is. Was walking along there at 3am 2 weekends ago! 555555

edit.. looks like there are a few BMs living closely to each other.

Yes, the last week has been very quiet indeed. A lot more quieter than normal for this time of the year, but thats true for most of the soi.

August used to be high season in low season, not the last two years tho, it used to be a lot of Italians and French but their local economy isnt the best for the time being.

Does the monthly rent for the bars decrease as you go further down the Soi towards the toilets or does Mr Eric charge the same for everyone? I would have thought Blue Bar and Malibu at the front would pay higher rent?

some don't but some wait staff in a bar or restaurant sometimes make the night for a group because they are that good
and if you are at a small local type place, sometimes you get bought as many beers by the bartender as you have bought
but i don't tip for just any service

actually got kicked out of one of the hotspots in Vancouver a little while ago because i wrote a 0 as big as the bill because the service sucked
was on a rooftop and had to go 3 flights, that is a lot of pushing back and forth between me and the bouncers 5555

True, our chocolate is very good, but there are other countries who also produce great chocolate, like Switzerland. Our beer is way better than Swiss beer though. 555

Haven't done the maths on tax brackets before?

$17,550 plus 37c for each $1 over $80,000
$54,550 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,000

On the first 80K you only pay $17,550 in tax, 17550/80000 = 0.21 per dollar until you earn $80,001 p/a

180,000 - 80,000 = 100,000. - this is the bit you get charged the 37c on.
100,000 x 0.37 = 37000.
So total tax paid is 37000+17550= 54550 or the minimum amount for the next tax bracket.

So the actual rate of tax for someone earning $180,000 p/a is 54550/180000 which is 0.303 or 30c to the dollar.

Source mate

Our progressive system works by only taxing you what the people earning less then you are taxed until you earn more then they do. Does your head in a bit, but its fair.

Yeah that is a good question mate..
Quality of girls also? ub20.... 55555

I agree with Dan, I have never given a tip to the barmaid/barman for serving up a pint. I think in most pubs in the UK the bar staff would say "hey, you have forgotten your change".
Rather than leave a tip, I sometimes offer a drink to the barstaff instead if the service has been friendly.
While on holiday in the Carribean in an all inclusive resort, some Americans were waving their dollars about trying to get served before the rest of us. When I eventually got served I asked the barmaid about this dollar waving practice. "Don't worry Sir" she told me, "The Americans have to do that before I'll serve them. A smile is all I need from the rest of you"

Good point.. it does soon add up drinking everyday.. but still eating and drinking out everyday in los is so much cheaper than here.

 

[breespectacular[:]

Wow! This has gone from Night Life, to tipping, to tax advice.........ermmm... I got this mole on my ****...think I should get it looked at proper?

 

[moon]

That's so true, the only difference is the age we all get addicted.

 

[The Goomba of Hope]

The rent may vary for many reason, but keymoney is most likely to be cheaper at the end of the soi compared to the front bars.

 

[Wishy]

Vlaamse frites?

Post a picture sure someone here can help.

 

[Aimz]

Only if it's nightlife related. 555

 

[Stump Bumper]

Patong isnt so cheap. Too many Aussies!!! Costs same for a beer in Hollywood and my local! However to be honest though I would prefer paying for a beer in Hollywood any day 555. The scenary is fantastic

 

[tonalc1]

Why would you pay for horse piss ?

 

[SemandXX]

I don't like Belgium beer. I always taste too much clove. Is that an ingredient or are my senses off?

 

[Climbin.metal]

But what is the best age to get addicted?

 

[FLOW]

IMO if you get addicted before you actually have a serious relationship with non p4p girl, be her Thai, British, whatever, I could see it ruining your perspective of women and sex in general. Depends if you think you will want to have a wife and kids.

The scene is perfect for divorced middle aged guys, as we've already played the game and hopefully have the cash to survive.
