Reader question: Companion lady for 14 days, what will that cost?
Dear readers,
I am quite a rookie when it comes to nightlife in Thailand. I went on a tour to Thailand once last year, and then I went out alone and had nice conversations with Thai bar ladies.
Now I want to go to Thailand again at the beginning of February, but since I'm going alone, I would like some company. Can I just ask a lady from the bar to stay with me for 14 days? And what costs should I count on? I mean what is a reasonable fee for her? And do you have to buy off the bar for the entire period?
Regards,
Henry
The ladies get about 5000 to 10000 p/m, so those are the costs + any loss of turnover if she doesn't work there..
That's a half answer to a serious question.
Yes, you can certainly ask, but not necessarily, because they will stay with you anyway if you are nice and paid. I wouldn't ask right away, because soon you won't like it and you've already asked that. Then you get drama again if you had come to other thoughts..
If a woman works in a bar, the first thing it costs is a bar fee. That is between 500 and 1000 bath per bar, per evening.
You can also buy her out, which is about 5000 baht for the bar. Then she won't have to come back.
If you treat her well, pay for everything for her and give her 10.000 baht a week, you will have a great holiday.
You can make it as crazy as you want, but don't be too frugal, because (especially in the beginning) it will be pure work for her ... Look at it the other way around ...
Be surprised, there is always something nice coming your way.
I have no experience with bar ladies but this seems very little to me, I think they earn more from the bar.
Moreover, I would be ashamed to fob off a girl who was my companion for a few weeks with such a tip.
10000 a week is definitely NOT a tip for Thailand.
Baht 10000- is for the Thai worker a monthly wage and no tip.
Of course you also have to compensate the owner of the bar, if this lady in question no longer contributes to the turnover of his bar.
The ladies often only serve as company, and to make sure you and she have enough drinks.
She often has a poor monthly wage, which she can only improve through further contact with the guest and the necessary lady drinks.
Apart from the shameful monthly wage and the provision of these lady drinks, which the guest must of course also pay, the lady in question will like to earn something on the side.
So indemnification of the bar, and her monthly wage + the average lady drink provision, depending on what else the lady has in terms of financial expectations, will at least have to be paid.
If all goes well, she will grant you many wishes with good payment, a friendly Thai smile and a repeated whisper of I love you.
If you can't meet her financial expectations at her will, if you don't happen to be a Bratt Pitt or George Clooney, in many cases you'll be single again.555
Hi Henry,
I am a woman myself and have been to Thailand several times and there are indeed beautiful women. How about 100,00 euros a day, because after all she has to meet everything. 14 days X 100 = 1400,00 euros from you is about 49.000,00 baths for her. If you bring a woman from here yourself, it will cost you more with flight costs, hotel costs, food, drinks and souvenirs. Then it will cost you 3000,00 euros. Just for your girlfriend / wife.
Have fun and good luck.
Sorry Megan,
You need to take off your European hat. After all, the OP does not go to Thailand for nothing. Regularly it is to buy off the bar (5000 is really enough, although they complain for more), and then keep the lady in question free, buy a nice thing now and then, and pay 2000 baht a day. If the OP isn't super ugly, that's pretty deserved (living free and 14 x 2000 = 28,000), plus a tip if she did her best.
To the OP: NEVER make the mistake of giving the money in advance!! I once did as a rookie, and she went with another for 15 minutes laughing.
I can only speak from my own experience in Pattaya. Many ladies are very happy to stay with you for 14 days. Especially the older ones (35 +). Of course you also have ladies working at the bars who have a Thai man CQ boyfriend and they prefer to spend the nights alone with you. Of course they want you to pay the barfine for the whole period (they also have a commission of ). The price will also depend on the looks and the age of the lady. I myself pay 1500 baht for 1 night, but always say clearly that I am a butterfly, and that they should not count on anything the next day. If you keep a lady with you for 2 weeks, I think 1000 baht per day (excluding barfine) is a nice compensation. However, I would never pay the total amount up front if I were you. However, they will try. Again, that's how I look at it.
My advice would be, look for someone you spontaneously click with, not necessarily in a bar!
Can also be a waitress, a shop assistant, etc.
How long she would like to stay and for what fee also depends on how much she likes you.
If you would still like to find your company from a bar, you simply have to negotiate and also keep in mind that you must provide for all other costs such as food and drinks.
that is entirely up to the lady. Of course she's missing pay, and the bar will probably ask barfine for the days she's not coming. In addition, she will determine how much she wants per day for "socializing". A stunning, popular lady in a bar will charge more as she misses out on other “customers”. You have to pay for that loss of income. Make clear what you want from her.
Dear Henry,
Look before you leap. Going out day and night with a stranger with whom you can hardly communicate is not recommended. Boredom and irritations are soon lurking. If you still want to continue this… in an everyday open-air bar, the bar fine (amount you have to pay to the bar owner to be able to take a woman out of the bar) is usually between 14-300 baht. I now speak of Pattaya and my experience. This time 500 or maybe a little less with some negotiation. Then you discuss with the woman in question what you should give her as compensation per day. This will be at least 14 baht, but she can also ask for double, triple, etc. This depends on factors such as age, beauty and… shrewdness. You will of course also have to pay all expenses during the period. Food, drink and related matters. The costs of the related matters will again depend on her shrewdness, your benevolence and urge to keep the peace.
Otherwise, take someone you like with you for 1 night first. If things go well, you can ask her to spend the day with you the next day so you can at least get a sense of what it's like to spend time with her. Hopefully this helps you a bit. I wish you good luck and a happy holiday!
ladies ask for 1000 bath per day and if you have a lady through a bar, she also wants some money for it.
5000 and 10000 are very old prices.
Dear Henry,
If you have the right one and pull it up with you. Food, bar, disco and so on, together in a reasonable hotel.
Then give this lady 1000 bath/day. You may only be 12 days, so then you have lost 12.000. And of course the money for all entertainment food, bar and hotel.
I wish you a nice time.
Regards Anthony
I would count on 2000 Thb per day, 1500 for the lady and 500 Thb barfine. In addition, of course, board and lodging. It is also always negotiable.
Besides the ladies in the bar, most of the ladies who provide this kind of service are on the internet, on dating sites. Tinder is very popular in Thailand. Can you first watch the cat out of the tree, online and then continue: eating out and possibly more.
If you like someone and you know she wants to make money (not always because she likes to) in a bar then it makes sense to treat her fairly and respectfully.
The “barfine” is a fixed amount that is charged by the bartender and is currently between 300 and 500 baht per day, depending on where you are in Thailand.
The girl you take with you sees NOTHING about that. The bar owner keeps this amount because he is convinced that she will certainly get a lot more from the customer.
You will then not ask a girl that you do not like, but one that you find attractive. She will guide you all the while and do everything for you so it is only natural that you treat her well and that she is better off financially than in the bar.
I'm not going to put a price on this because I think you shouldn't treat the girl as a rented item but as a person who likes to earn something.
If you still want a guideline, then the absolute minimum is 1000 bath per day in my opinion. You should not forget that such a girl actually works 24/24 for you.
To be clear, this is not my thing but if it makes you happy, the next.
Create an account on a dating site like Thaiflirting and be clear about your intentions. There will certainly be reactions from ladies who like this. The so-called 'girlfriend experience'. Realize one thing, chances are whether it's through a website or a bargirl she will be out to get you in love to get your money and attention after your trip. This is a so-called earning model for some women in Thailand. In this way, they have multiple 'relationships' with multiple Farang that brought them income throughout the year and only required an effort from them for a few weeks each year. Milking Farang, I wouldn't start it, but to each his own.
I would not hire a barmaid, but try to make contacts via dating sites such as thaifriendly.com and form an idea of what kind of meat you have in De Kuip by means of chat and, for example, Skype.
Barmaids are available for short and long time hire but the bar wants to see a daily bar fine.
The height depends on the bar but is between 500 and 2000 bath per day/night, in addition to the fee for the lady.
The statement that the lady will last for 5000-10000 baht a month does not apply to barmaids.
Being open and honest in the chat you set up via ThaiFriendly is a great start, you have plenty of time to put the various contacts through their paces
Good luck and have fun!

Hi John,,,,,,
Just add up, between 10.000 and 15.000 thb
Converted to 270,00 euros
If you want to take a lady from a bar, you must indeed pay the bar fine for each day. This will probably not be the case with someone from a disco or via the internet. In any case, I would not immediately agree for 10 days and first see if there is a click.
Dear Henry
Wouldn't it be better to first take a look at the situation and let things come to you spontaneously, instead of going to Thailand with blinkers. Be sure that the barmaids will quickly realize that you are looking for someone for …….. . At that moment you are the prey and you will have known that afterwards.
Wish you a nice holiday in the "land of smiles".
All nice and nice about take a girl from disco or internet because they don't ask for money to stay with you I'll help you out of your dreams they will
Advantage maid from bar is
Have to see a doctor once a month for a check-up
If you take a girl from a disco or the internet, you don't know what she has, including STD HIV
Girls are not registered anywhere, so if you are still drugging you will lose everything the next morning
So what do you choose yourself or spend $300 to $400 for a bar girl
Or do you go for it to run the risk of contracting HIV or STIs or you wake up and your room has been robbed empty
Advantage: 1x per month check………….. do you really consider that an advantage? You can't be so stupid as to think that nothing can happen to you, can you?
Certainly an advantage because it comes from the bar, so the bar also receives results from the doctor
And if girls have something in terms of illnesses, they're out of the bar
And many of those girls then try it in the disco
So definitely much less risk of diseases yes
It's like with an APK.
At the time of the check, everything seems ok, but says little about hidden problems or those that can only be detected in the long term.
And even if everything is good, it can go wrong at the next fill-up.
I think he needs to be helped out of his dreams too 😉
Henry, don't tie yourself down to a regular girl the first day and certainly not a barmaid for whom you pay the bar fine for 2 weeks in advance. (Really: no more than 300 per day!!! For example, avoid the expensive bars in Walking Street in Pattaya, they ask 400-500 and a gogo much more).
If you are going to travel around afterwards, it is indeed very nice to have a permanent lady with you. I've done that in the past (when I also had to have it only on holidays): looking around in Pattaya for a few days, and then taking that one nice young chick with me as a companion for a tour through Thailand. Then it does not necessarily have to be 1000 baht. For example, for 10 days there are plenty of ladies who accept 7000 or 8000 in total: Your argument must be that you also pay for her food and expenses for outings. Normally she spends 1-00 baht per day on food.
Take a look at Thaifriendly.com, there you will also find nice women, often freelancers, sometimes ladies with a regular job, who want to earn some extra money. Do have a video call, because in photos they are 2x as beautiful (and sometimes half as slim) as in reality.
It would be nice if someone with experience for thailandblog would put together a file. A list of prices for the different offers. For example: 18-year-old, pretty, slim and cheerful girl: 3.000 baht per day. Substantial discounts for long-term appointments. Or: 40-year-old somewhat portly woman with good knowledge of the English language: 1.000 baht. Who wants to take that on?
3000 Baht per day ? That is almost 100.000 Baht per month? For an 18 year old? And I have to believe that people in Thailand earn an average of 10.000 Baht per month ….
So the income of the escort ladies in Belgium and the Netherlands is also what the average Belgian and Dutch person earns….
Well, my comment about that price list here was a bit sarcastic, fred. Not meant seriously.
My son's 26-year-old older sister is disabled and receives 1.000 baht a month. Do you understand what an "average" is? There are many rich and many poor people in Thailand.
A little popular hot chick easily earns 20000 a week.
Especially in BKK. Short-time 2000, long-time 4000 – 5000.
Lady drinks 50 bht at a time. I know several who deserve this, have no sympathy. Some make more than you do at home, believe me.
Bargoer
have not paid 4000 bht for long time in my whole life, maximum 3000 bht
Shorttime 1000 to 1500 bht and you count that she takes someone every day, just forget it
most bargirls are happy if they earn 10.000 bht a week and those are the beautiful and young ones, the rest earn less. There are many who go late into the night for 500bht short or 1000bht longtime because they haven't earned anything that week.
You forgot to mention that there is also a price difference in high and low season……………….(wink)
That is also true…. after all, the price is also a question of supply and demand.
And probably also like in the supermarket. The most expensive prices / brands are at eye level 😉
Get well. Like that price list for medical procedures (see recent discussions), this price list will also be published in the Royal Gazette. The appearance and nationality of the customer will also influence the price….
How?..Maybe you pay a lot more for the same girl than me or others..Depends on so many factors..Is not possible…You can only distinguish the cheapest women you meet on beachroad from the most expensive escorts you have to order between 500THb and the sky is the limit…Up to you…..These are not cars with a fixed price tag….Everything is negotiable and also very much dependent on what the lady thinks of you.
Not too long ago, about 4 years ago, I also did something similar with a slightly older bargirl (34) who, in all the years that I came to "her" bar, already provided the necessary lady drinks one evening (and some of her colleagues).
I then decided to ask her to make a tour through Thailand with me, a few days to a few islands and about 12 days in the north and north-east of the country. The price we agreed upon was 21 x 400 baht barfine, and 1400 baht pocket money for her per day. Of course also all travel money, drinks, food and niceties such as knickknacks souvenirs etc etc. Never regretted it. Great time and I still see her regularly in Thailand.
Getting a nice girl when going out is the cheapest and usually the most fun for vacation…A kind of guide with advantages…..Ordering an escort is the most expensive. It does give you the full pornstar experience in bed, which the girl you just pick up somewhere probably doesn't do…. Just go and have a look..there are THOUSANDS of women who would like to spend a few weeks with you in tow. A bargirl for 2 weeks rather not .. Same with Gogo girls are BORING ..! At least for the long term you indicate,
So many opinions, so many women....enough choice..Don't be afraid you won't find any
henry,
Costs you 1000 bath per day for the lady and 300 bath barfine.
Good luck in advance.
henry,
Yes you can find a nice woman in the bar, but that does not guarantee anything. As with dating sites, there is no guarantee whatsoever.
Best is to just bring the one you like, for that afternoon / evening / night you just pay her and also the bar. If you are with her in the afternoon, you can immediately see how cut she is. If you like it, you will do the same again the next day.
If you still like it, you can talk to her about the remaining price and also negotiate the barfine with her. Of course you can also do it in 1 go if everything clicks, but make the appointment right away, daily payment and if it doesn't work anymore everything will stop. Losing face here means a lot more to her than going out with a strange man.
You should count on a minimum of 15000/20.000 baht plus other costs you incur for her. You wouldn't succeed in Bangkok for that amount, but you could in Pattaya. If you go to the dark side in Pattaya, so less touristy and also nice women who are less greedy than in Pattaya, you will probably manage half of this. There are also hundreds of ladies on the darkside.
Whatever you do, respect the ladies, many do it out of necessity and not because they want to and don't fall for the father/family illness or buffalo madness. (buffalo broken leg, buffalo sick) The latter is totally related to the lady and her haircut, but also how you spend everything, if you spend your money very easily, she will see that and will anticipate it. Example, don't go to expensive restaurant in the early days (like Hilton), but to regular ones of which there are plenty. Let the lady buy some food or fruit at the market, they often like it and you show that you have enough knowledge and don't throw money around.
Succes
It also depends a bit on what you look like .
Are you young, slim and beautiful, a woman is much cheaper
Then when you are old , ugly and with a big beer belly .
Then you have the girls in a massage parlor.
Can you also ask and saves that bar fine.
But the best solution seems to me to be about the internet, dating site and skype.
There is a lot of nonsense being told here about the earnings of the bargirls, you should know that about 70% of bargirls really don't find someone to take her every night. So the extreme amounts that are sometimes mentioned here are nonsense. My experience is that the longer you take the lady in question with you, the lower the amount will be, count on 10 to 15.000 bht per month. and indeed preferably do not take a bar girl, on Thai Friendly you will find enough ladies who want to go on holiday with you for 2 weeks and then you will not have to deal with the bar fee anyway. restaurant or someone in a normal bar, close to schools you will find enough) to come with you. And indeed don't promise anything, go away with her for a night and see if it clicks and then you can make appointments and indeed not on pay in advance, you can pay her part after a week, for example. So I think that 10.000 bht for 2 weeks is really enough, don't forget she eats for free and stays in hotels that she cannot afford and of course you buy off and something nice for her.
I sometimes went out in eg Patpong in Bangkok where there are not only bars but also discos. At first I thought that the women who came there were on the pick-up tour just like me, but for the most part they are 'freelancers' who are not tied to a bar and can decide for themselves whether they want to go with you or not. Those ladies really don't attract a paying customer every night in the disco and pay for the taxi (there and back) even if they have no one. I got to know quite nice ladies with nice relationships, such as surprising her with breakfast after a message asking if she is at home, passing food stalls and taking breakfast to her room/bungalow.
