AW: Tim Bar Beer & A-GoGo
I used to love going to the Tim Bar, but I haven't been to Thailand for three years.
What struck me as very negative this year is that you're constantly being hit on for lady drinks, even if you really just want a drink and are listening to the (very good) rock music.
If you don't buy one, the girls will obviously leave, which is fine, but then Mamasan will immediately send the tequila girls after you with their Lao-Khao booze blend (el-toro) for 150 baht. If you don't want a "tequila" either, the two girls will annoy you for at least five minutes, asking you to at least buy them one... sorry, this begging is pathetic.
Don't get me wrong, I actually like this bar, and I actually like buying lady drinks now and then, but with this constant begging I'm getting stubborn.
I also find the policy strange that you have to pay 600 THB BF for the girls who work "outside" at the beer bar, what's the point of that?
As I said, it's a real shame about a really great bar that has become a 1-2 drink location for me at least because of such actions, although the girls outside at the beer bar are very nice, especially at lunchtime, and some of them are quite pretty.
The drink prices are OK, Gin Tonic 95 THB, Tiger 75 THB. You can also order food from the Tim Hotel (the hamburger is delicious!)
