How Thailand Bar Girls Select Customers

Introduction on Bar Girls and Customer Selection

In Thailand, an intriguing aspect of the nightlife is the hidden scoring system that bar girls use to evaluate customers. As a bar owner in Bangkok, I have had the unique opportunity to observe and understand this phenomenon first-hand.

After watching this YouTuber’s videos I have to agree with his comments.

I interacted closely with many bar girls but maintained a professional distance. I never indulged in personal relationships with them, limiting my gestures to birthday cards. The ‘mamasan’ (a supervisor-like figure in these bars) was responsible for hiring and managing the girls. My role was strictly managerial, unrelated to their personal affairs.

Through my interactions, I discovered that these girls often have a scoring system for their customers. This system is a way for them to prioritize potential patrons based on certain criteria, with the ultimate aim of finding a partner who could potentially take them out of their current situation. The higher a customer scores on their list, the more attention they receive.

The scoring system is surprisingly straightforward. At the bottom of the list are foreigners who speak Thai. The girls assume these men are well-acquainted with Thailand and, thus less likely to spend generously. Conversely, a man who doesn’t speak Thai dresses smartly in non-local attire, and shows no signs of prolonged sun exposure or familiarity with Thailand instantly ranks higher. This profile suggests a newcomer, potentially unaware of the local ways, making him a prime target for attention.

Interestingly, the bar girls also have a soft spot for attractive young men, often backpackers, who may not have much money but promise a fun time. This aspect adds a layer of complexity to their scoring system, indicating it’s not just about money.

These insights reveal a unique aspect of Thailand’s bar scene. The girls, often between 20 and 30 years old, are essentially looking for a way out of their current lifestyle. A customer’s score determines how they are treated in the bar. For those who prefer not to engage in buying lady drinks, a discreet tip can ensure company without additional expense.

This scoring system reflects a broader, more pragmatic approach to survival and ambition within the bar scene. The girls prioritize financial security, hoping to find someone who could change their lives. As a former insider, I witnessed this first-hand and can attest to its prevalence in Bangkok’s nightlife.
