would you

Could you have just said that you didn't have enough for the bill of 4400 baht and given them a credit card (without an ATM option) and even sweetened the pot by say throwing in another 1000 baht ? Then when your away from the area just call the fraud protection dept of your banks' credit card and tell them to not issue payment.

A few years ago on a business trip to Madrid this happened to me and I notified the bank who stopped payment. 

would you really go to that much trouble for $40 each?

beware of the great ping pong scam

we decided to try one of these shows in Patpong

after getting out of our cab we were immediately attacked by the spruikers

only 100 baht for a beer seemed to be the norm

also no cover charge

there were 4 of us & we thought "what the heck, it will only cost us 400baht to satisfy our curiosity

after entering the premises we were immediately set upon by several waitresses not only to serve us drinks but also for lady drinks

we ordered 4 drinks & said not yet to any lady drinks as we were only there for 30 seconds

we tried to watch some of the show but it was very dark & what we could see was only some very old women doing nothing extraordinary

we decided that we had selected one of the worse shows & thought pay the bill & try another

it would only cost another 400b between us

then it hit us

they would not bring the tab to us, we had to see cashier

one of us went to pay

the rest started to get ready to leave

our money man came back with the bad news

instead of the bill being 400baht it came to4400baht

the drinks were 300b each

no cover charge                                          

extras being for ladies drinks that we had declined

upon questioning all this the anwers being

   :only the second drink will be 100b

   :but seat costs 600b each

   :you okayed lady drinks

our man looked around & thought better of any arguement so came back and gave us the bad news

we just had to put it down as an experience that cost us 1100baht (about 40 australian dollars each for one beer

on the way out we saw our spruiker still at it and words were said by us but he just looked at us with a smirk on his face as if to say"GOT YOU"

so everyone BEWARE

we will be in bkk in august

in Pattaya several bars run social golf outings

just wondering if there are anything similar in bkk

thanks for any help
