I and my wife went to Patpong. Main purpose was to buy bags from Naraya shop. Also, we thought we would check out some nudie bar. We did shopping. BTW Naraya shop has good deals on bags. After getting hassles from touts, wife lost interest in bars and insisted on going back. We decided to have dinner in Patpong area. After dinner, a tout approached us. He showed us a menu, Shigha 60 Baht, Coke 50 Baht etc, no cover charge. I thought its good deal. I asked him where it is. He pointed us to a bar on ground floor. We followed him, when we reached bar, he changed his mind and took us to another bar (second floor). I think it's called "Wild Cat". Some girls were dancing lazily on stage. They were looking bored or disinterested. One girl was shoving ping pong balls in her pussy. I thought it was disgusting. Waitress came to take orders but she didn't have menu and was very rude. It was hard to understand her. So I just ordered a Singha and Coke for wife. As soon as our drinks came, four bar girls came to us. And within two minutes they demanded, I buy drinks for them. We were already annoyed at this point. I politely refused to buy drinks. They angrily said something in Thai and left. They were followed by rude waitress and another girl. They asked us to pay 1000baht. I asked how much is drink? They said 500 each. I told but guy said 60 baht for beer. They said yes 100 baht for drink and 400 baht for show. They showed us a menu that had some sketches of sex show. We had no choice but to pay 1000 baht. As they were leaving, waitress asked us to pay another 100baht for service. Which I refused. We stayed another 5 minutes. Next to us there were two foreigners, they were arguing over bill, waitress sent heavies. One of them looked like a big lady boy. At this point we decided to leave. When we were coming back, we met couple of foreigners who were also ripped. They ended up paying 300baht/beer.I lived in Bangkok years ago and visited Patpong. My impression was it was an enjoyable place. You go to bar, buy drinks. Bar girls were there to hassle you. If you like you can buy drinks for them. But it was little more honest.After having scammed, I searched net, this is very common scam in second floor bars in Patpong. I didn't do my homework and got scammed.
