Agogo Bars In Pattaya - Mistakes NOT TO MAKE when you step inside any Pattaya or Thailand Agogo Bar

[@drumaganger]

I might add another one. As a Sailor for 20+ years I felt it was important to "Not get drunk". Have a few, have some fun. However, when you loose your "situational awareness" you are opening yourself to making bad decisions both in the bar and out.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Fair one mate

[@almeloub]

"Situational awareness": A well defined and very appropriate term I've learned describing the tipping point of "having drank to much" (or not)...👏👏

[@Hitech82]

It's easy to be over served. Especially when you put the time change, dietary change to eating habits and excitement of the moment. Order a whiskey on the rocks. Sip at a slow pace.. No one is counting.

[@rossilake3430]

I Agree! All my Dumb decisions involve alcohol.

[@txfreethinker]

Or being robbed blind.

[@almeloub]

As stated: I have personally experienced and noticed that tips are being shared amongst all the staff....which BTW I think is the right attitude. C'on guys....You fly to Thailand for fun: Share 1% of your fun with others too..it's the right thing to do...

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Gotcha

[@petergillespie6395]

Hey I have enjoyed most the mistakes I have made in a go go,'s😂 Great advice once again Trev. Just to add, when you walk in, take a moment to have a look around and decide if you really want to stay? You can usually judge the atmosphere very quickly. If not, walk out and try another place. I keep an eye on my tap and pay it periodically. I would much rather start a new one and be in far better control of my spending. As for the ladies, if you see one that catches your eye whilst dancing, try and signal to her or ask the server to talk to her. That way when she comes off the stage she will have a decent amount of time to have a drink with you before her next shift dancing. And totally âgée that what she drinks is up to her. Even if it is just orange juice at lady drink prices. I would much rather interact with a relatively sober person than one who may pass out at any second. There is another Pattaya blogger (no names mentioned) who goes on about this as if they are somehow ripping you off. I far prefer your take. Lastly if the same server has looked after me well in the evening, a lady drink for her never goes amis. They work hard and be great fun too if treated right.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Great shout mate

[@keithd1219]

Good way of looking at it....I'm somewhat the same, especially if the girls are actually fun

[@stevebryce-grant1107]

Great Tips not just for Thailand but can be useful for Philippine Bars as well. At one bar in Angeles Walking Street, the girl asked if she could drink milk which was fine by me she was happy and I was happy. One of the Mammasan out of three would send over a free drink not every time I was in the bar but was always welcome, more to spend on the girl if I were to have one later in the evening. A few times when a vendor would come into the bar selling candy or peanuts I would ask for a mixture for the girls to enjoy, this might also be why that one Mamasan would send the odd free drink over. Treat them with respect and they return that with respect for you.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Nice share mate thank you

[@nsmith3143]

Some of the Go Go bars I've been to in Pattaya were too dark and noisy and couldn't here myself talk. I would often sit outside to give my ears a rest, then I realised a small gem, most of the girls would come out also and have a smoke and play with their phones. This way I also got to see them in proper light and could have a chat with them if they wanted to without yelling.

[@Bsquared1972]

Once in the Philippines I asked the Mommasan what HER bar fine was...she laughed, gave me a great big hug, and bought me a drink. She loved me. :) These girls are working, but you have to treat them with respect, and they will love you for it. You can have a great time in Pattaya, but don't get drunk and watch your money (only carry what you plan on spending that night). I was a wide-eyed young man the first time I was in Pattaya, and could not believe all the cat-calling--"Hey, sexy man...come sit with me!" :) Great channel, and great videos!

What's the problem with asking how much the bar fine is? Is it disrespectful?

[@Bsquared1972]

@@Jimmy911ism That isn’t what this is about. Imagine going to a house of ill repute and instead of picking one of the working girls, you approach the house mother and ask what SHE is doing. It is a compliment, saying that she is as desirable as any of the younger girls. That is why she laughed and hugged me…she took it for the compliment it was. 😎👍

[@Jimmy911ism]

@@Bsquared1972 ah! You were asking the bar fine for her. The old 'pretend you think the mother is the sister trick'. Kidding. The scene doesn't sound much fun - I'd rather pay a bar fine and take a girl to another bar, where there's no pressure on me to buy drinks at a fast rate.

Well said. Commenting as someone who has lived in TH for over 3 decades, and either owned businesses in or managed others in several tourist destinations in TH, I agree with everything he has said. His most important words of advice were just pay and walk away, always be polite, and stay sober. Like anything, know the rules and follow them. You are a guest in someone else’s country and you may think there are no rules because of what you are seeing all around you, but that is not the case.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you and thank you for sharing your experience

[@waynelast1685]

I have personally walked in and out of several bars without buying anything until I was happy with the one I finally chose.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Exactly talk with your feet

[@geezerrb7222]

Very sound advice, my days of using AGG's for pick ups are past but this is very helpful. My comments on some subjects are:- Draft Beer, most places especially AGG's do not know what pipe cleaning is so often the draft beer is "rancid" plus the size of glass you get makes it no different cost wise to a bottle and then "glass cleaning" not just in AGG's leaves a lot to be desired. I am wary of the Mamosan advice but totally agree about the "sit down" scenario and the "ladydrink" advice along with the "bin check" and "tipping" as well as all your other points, great advice. Loved the overlay vids.*****

Good advice here. I personally took a book from the bar girls myself. I have small wrist bands (2 colors, 1 for me and 1 for them), and I move them from my right to left wrist to keep an accurate tally of drinks bought. The movement is subtle and if they ask, I tell them that's how I know where I'm at - they know your no newbie either. Many girls will do this system as well...

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thanks mate

[@Jayfordays89]

Bonus point - Avoid barfining multiple girls from the same bar. I made this mistake a few years ago when picking up one, then a week later coming back and going with a different one. Despite it being a business, the girls are quite territorial and jealous and don't want others going near their customers. Like you say about the excellent memories, they will recognise you and generally if you come back, they will try to be with you again. Even though my first girl ignored me all night (which is why I went with another), she kicked off at the second when we left and almost got into a full blown fight. Plus it marks you out as a butterfly and they will gossip about you. It just isn't worth it. Stick to 1 girl per bar and if you want a different girl, don't return to that bar for a few months when your original girl will have inevitably moved on. Theres enough bars and bargirls in Pattaya that you could have a different one every night for the rest of your life and thats not factoring in the staff turnover. To tie in with this, avoid barfining girls from your favourite/regular bar or it could just be awkward. Want a girl, go to a bar where you aren't a regular.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

indeed they do mate

[@Siegeclan34]

What if you barfine them both at the same time?

[@peterandben1]

great video and so true - being clear on expectations with her is key as is keeping the mama-san on side and not speaking thai in the gogo bars and showing you are not a cheap skate which is important. Wear original clothes good quality/personal cleanliness/aftershave dont look like a tramp or buying pints on the happy hour otherwise they wont go anywhere near you . Never take videos or photos in gogo bars under any circumstances and you are likely to end up in the local accident and emergency after a good kicking and you will be banned from possibly your favourite bar

[@andrewshinegold6988]

You can also pay the bin every couple of drinks so that there is no dispute

I try and pay every 4th drink. I was ripped a new one on my first trip, 7.5k bin in an hour. I can drink but that was something else. Never made that mistake again.

I pay one drink at a time. I don’t want ANY chance of a bar tab misunderstanding.

[@Devontaxi1231]

Excellent advice, especially the bit about the idiots who get up on the stage and start dancing thinking they are the first people to do it. Something that also makes me cringe are the guys who walk in and not buy a drink but walk around the stage examining what’s on offer before leaving. So disrespectful.

This is a business!!! Excellent point!! Check the bin every time just to keep them honest. I always make friends with the mamason. In fact I am still facebook friends with several of them. It does pay to know people. As far as a tip, I always give it directly to the girl who has been serving me. They remember you. Buying them a drink from time to time is a good thing too. I have also bought drinks for the "Hello Girls" too. Bar fined a few hello girls and they were great too. But, it is still a business.

Thanks for that

[@Jimmy911ism]

@@Buzzinpattaya so the 800-1000 baht amount you gave as a bar fine... only around $30 to take the girl out of the bar? Really? Do you have a video on bar fines? I've got a feeling it's crucial if you're after some action.

[@chrispekel5709]

I took a girl out of a bar for 300 baht. But that's just to the bar, you gotta pay them for sex on top

[@stanehering1]

Great presentation. Since I have a lot of experience in Thai go-go bars, I will add a few things. 1. some mama-san really push you to pay the bar fine for the first girl you paid for a drink right away. Living Doll was best known for this and I avoided it, despite having very beautiful dancers. 2. some dancers come to you alone and demand that you pay for their drink. When you reject them, they become very primitive. 3. some dancers are extremely jealous of those dancers who I paid for a drink. She came over and literally interrogated me why I didn't pay for her drink as well. When I still didn't want to pay for her drink, she became very primitive. Some mama-san help the customer and surround the dancer. Some also support her in her behavior. 4. I paid a lot of drinks and bar fines for the dancer 4 times. But the next time I paid for another dancer's drink, but not her, she attacked me physically: punched me in the face and cried hysterically. Luckily, I knew a lot of other dancers who explained the situation to mama-san because the guards were already looking at me aggressively. Thai security guards love to beat up foreigners 5. some young westerners get very drunk on it in the go go club. I came to the club and having lived in Pattaya for a year I practically knew all the dancers and staff. When one of the dancers came to greet me from a drunk young man, the young man tried to physically attack me because he did not understand that she was not his fiancee. Fortunately, the fight was stopped by the staff. Even if you are a trained fighter, never get into a fight! According to Thai law, you get expelled from the country and for many years you are banned from entering even if you only defended yourself in a fight. 6. many dancers are very active in the club with you and act extremely horny. But when they come into the room, they completely change, they act tired, uninterested, all of a sudden it bothers them, ... they want me to get tired of her and send her home. In the beginning, when I was still naive, I went back to the club with such a dancer and complained to Mama-san. Mama-san replied that she knows the dancer very well and knows that she is ok, but I am not. When I asked for my money back or another girl to exchange, the guards came and I was very lucky that they didn't attack me. I never went to that club again. 7. when you pay the dancer for a drink, she usually introduces one or two more friends. She tells you they are her sisters, which they are not. If you are naive, you pay for their drink too, and the next time the waitress comes, all three want you to pay for their drink again. Many people are ashamed to say no. 8. gratuity. If you tip a dancer 100 baht on the first day, she will remember it and ask for the same or more the next time. I remember one time when a dancer came up to me in a club all horrified and said, "I don't know what I did wrong. My friend came 4 times in a row and always ended up tipping me 1000 baht. Today only 100". She was completely devastated. This applies to all Thais, the same thing happened to me at the hotel reception. I tipped 100 baht once and the receptionist wanted the same every next day. When I said that he should respect that I gave him once he said that I certainly think that he is as rich as I am, but he is very poor. 8. Of course, not all dancers are bad girls. Not at all. You just have to be careful to avoid the bad ones. In go go clubs I met very beautiful, sexy, really horny and very honest dancers. I am still in contact with some of them today through Facebook. Well, 10 years have passed since my 2-year stay in Pattaya. These girls and women come from farms. Some come with very clear goals and in ten years of working in a go go club build a big house for themselves, their children and their parents and, if they are lucky, marry a foreigner richly. Those who do not marry a foreigner take care of their business when they no longer work in the go go. I met a girl who worked in go-go as a dancer from the age of 18 until she was 38. She is a great woman and I learned a lot from her.

[@thomaswalder4808]

Some more tips: Do not go to early in gogo bar if you want to make party. The girls need some time to "warm up" every day. Some girls are only working as dancers and never(or rarely) go with customers. So if you interested in bar fining a girl ask how much the bar fine is before spending many lady drinks to your favorite girl. Also ask early how much she wants for short time or long time. When entering an unknown gogo take some minutes to look for the available girls before you sit down and order a drink. If there is no girl in which you are interested just leave - there are a lot of gogo bars and the next one is normaly only a couple of meters away - so no need to spend time and money in such a gogo bar. Do not limit yourself to walking street. There are some really good gogo bars in the small Sois near walking street and also in the Soi LK metro. And don't be shy in a gogo bar ...

When you get the bill don’t pay with a 1,000 baht note or if you do make sure you tell the girl ‘this is a 1000 baht note’. This is especially important if your bill is say 75 baht. So many times I’ve seen blokes get screwed, they get 25 baht back and claim they gave them 1000 baht note, but change for a 100. You can’t prove it, you’ll get mad, make a scene, then get dragged out by the security goons.

I like the videos but I also like the videos where you just sit and talk because I download the audio and listen to them at work. Good work, I remember watching during the pandemic. Lucky enough to get back there last month.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Cheers mate

[@jesspeinado480]

Everything you've mentioned is spot on. I've experienced it or seen it. Listen to Trevor everyone. Word to the wise.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thanks mate

[@ExpatriatePaul]

Great advice, I would add one thing, before you go out, bathe, use deodorant and cologne, most of the girls don't care if you're fat and/or ugly, but if you stink the price tends to go up. Yes, I do speak, read and write Thai and lived in Pattaya for many years, many girls told me this in various bars.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Well said

[@jacksonj3082]

Great advise Trev - my best advise is to make friends with the Mamasan buy her a drink, treat her nice, give her a tip - generally she'll look out for you

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thanks mate and yeah keep the boss onside

[@chapmasi]

As someone who's been going to Thailand for years.... this advice is quite sound. I'd say there are big differences between the likes of Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket though when it comes to lady drink pressure.... It's one of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of Phuket agogo's. Love Pattaya though

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Cheers mate

[@Jason-zh7wo]

Good advice mate 👍 first time I went in agogo 5 years ago I was invited to go with 5 girls from Kilkenny bar to one in LK, they looked after me, it was fun. When I went out by myself in walking street for first time I was like a magnet with no idea what was going on, I got rinced in nearly every place I went in 😬😂. I learnt from experience 😂

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Ouch mate

Draft beer in gogo bars is generally rancid at best. But its good to have a quick one to check out the talent, then upgrade to a decent beer if you decide to stay.

Gotcha

I would like to know if I am two old to go back to Thailand I am at the young age of 75? Life where I am at his getting boring, so I would like to go back to Thailand this would be my third trip. I was there 1967 and 1968, I know a lot has changed. Please let me know.

Great topic Trevor..would be helpful to do a video about do's and dont's and what to expect in a gents club if you could please. Thanks for the great content.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

For sure mate

[@frankindabank]

Being disrespectful and looking down on them is a big no no in my eyes. Try to find the ones which are in for not only money, but for fun and money and bring some fun to them and you wont regret it. Don't fall for the ones that are in for money only, they already forgot about fun. And never underestimate how good they are in taking your money away, they always make me spend 25% more than I planned to (which nobody else in the world ever achieved to do) and I still feel good about it afterwards...

Fantastic advice Trevor.

So many guys get confused. Just never build a tab. Always pay up one drink at a time. If you don’t do that I guarantee you will have a problem someday. You HAVE to pay. If you argue you’re in trouble.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Just check it as ya go as well

I try to find a bar where there is great eye candy. Then I look to see how pushy the staff is toward me. If things appear chill, I try to strike up a conversation with the Mamasan. I get to know her name a buy her a round or two. I check in time to time and give her my business card and cell# on it. I will tell her what I'm looking for in a girl and when she has it, I'll ask her to text me and stop by to check out the merchandise. It's been working for me going on 40+ years.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Fair one mate

[@Saidakine]

I bought a girl a lady drink at the windmill, and some old timer sat by me and started interacting with her. He did not buy her anything for her time. I was surprised the girl just ignored me and started spending her time with him. I just let it go and got another girl and she ended up being great. She said I have to dance but I will be back. She came back and we had a good time. She told me the old man was a regular and always long timed that 1 girl.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Wow not good

[@lariberaaltamalc]

I can't remember when I last said "On no!" when a pretty girl plonked herself next to me and started chatting. We live in very different worlds.

Hey Trevor, great video as usual, good points for newbies because I seen a lot of newbies get in trouble. Keep up the good work.

[@Phat-Monkey]

Another good tip (avoiding the bar fine extended lol), give your number to the girls u like, if they have nobody at the end they will ring / message u ;) lol

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Lol

[@Phat-Monkey]

@@kohchangtai7820 its not extra hassle its just extra, several times I have given numbers out to girls in the past, more often than not I would BF but sometimes I would be still shopping late and seeing nothing I fancy then the phone would ring asking if I am alone and if can come over, its a win win.... ;) UP 2 U lol

[@janusface6628]

thank you for the valuable information. Just what I needed. Also, really nice presentation. One question on drinks. Since I usually don''t drink alcohol I was wondering how that would be perceived. Does that also mark you as a cheap charlie? And regarding lady drinks: What would be a reasonable amount to spend if you don't want to be rinsed but also don't want to come off as too cheap?

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thanks mate and you can drink whatever you want

[@bucsimon]

Great info as always. Thanks you very much for sharing your great wisdom my friend.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheEyesofOwen]

I buy draught beer SO THEY stay away from me 555. I prefer beer bars to be honest. You are right about being upfront tell them what you want and ask we can do. Never had a problem with a girl not giving value or locking themselves in the bathroom for ages. Like you say it's a business and a game. Everyone gets scammed a little from time to time. It's not because you don't know its because you have taken your eye off the ball are feeling generous or lazy lol

[@Buzzinpattaya]

555 brilliant

[@turningpointaustralia9531]

Very educational.... Thanks mate

[@siamsnowman6357]

Pattaya Pro Tip: I always start out with a draft beer or soda water when I enter a GoGo. This keeps the "crocodiles" off me, giving me a chance to assess the room and then choose who I want to hang with. It is easy to go from Cheap Charlie to a Pattaya 2 week millionaire.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

nice one mate

approaching the bar to by a drink is definitely a hit and run hotspot for the girls and trust me the hustle is quite impressive

[@Evenflow717]

I've been fortunate enough to visit the UK/Europe 6 times, the States 3 times and Bali 6 times so consider myself pretty well travelled. That being said I don't think that's going to count for shit when visiting Thailand for the first time on Boxing Day! lol While I can't wait and have no doubt I'll have a cracking time travelling solo, there's also much to learn/research on how things work over there which is why I'm here. Yours and others videos have been invaluable for first timers so thanks for sharing and most importantly I'll never forget while I'm there 'It's a business' and will treat it accordingly

[@aloha3337]

I Managed Strip Clubs to Gentleman's Clubs from Vegas to Miami and it's interesting how similar all Clubs are over the decades. Lady drinks in some of my clubs in the early 90's was $15 each. I use to have planters with fake trees and shurbs strategically placed around seating so the girls could dump their drinks and not get drunk. Also when servers ordered from the Bartender they would note it was for a girl and make it weak. Back in the day, I smashed many cameras. When I wanted to get rid of a customer, I would tell them " You can walkout the front door or I will drag you out the back". Oh how I miss the Con and brutality of it all.
