Pay, or perform in sex show
By Dawn Tay , my paper | Fri, Sep 4 2009
Singaporeans intimidated into paying more in Bangkok nightclubs. 
[top photo - SHADY STRIP CLUBS: Showgirls (above) at a Patpong street bar in Thailand. Some visitors to strip clubs in Patpong were asked to pay up to 20 times more than the initial amount quoted]
WHEN civil servant Guo Qihui, 24, and five of her friends visited a strip club in Bangkok’s Patpong district in May this year, the bill came up to almost 14,500 baht (S$600) – more than 20 times the price they had been quoted.
They had been told that they would need to pay just 600 baht in total – or 100 baht each – for the show and a drink each.
Miss Guo said: "Many showgirls came (to us) with their drinks asking for tips, and the club put the drinks that the showgirls had drunk on our tab.
"We refused to pay (the inflated bill) and threatened to call the police, but the staff turned nasty and said that they would call in the local mafia."
The hostile staff surrounded them, and shut the doors to prevent them from leaving.
The condition for leaving?
Pay the full amount – or perform in the sex show.
Half an hour of bargaining later, the group relented and was allowed to leave after paying almost 10,000 baht.
Miss Guo said: "The situation got really nasty; we were really angry yet worried at the same time. After that, we felt very cheated."
Like Miss Guo and her friends, a 21-year-old national serviceman who wanted to be known only as Daryll, was prevented from leaving a Patpong strip club in May by its staff members, including two bouncers wielding what appeared to be Taser guns.
He and four friends were also quoted a price of 100 baht each for a show, which they were told they need not pay if they did not like the show.
But they were subsequently billed 6,000 baht – 12 times more than the initial amount.
Daryll said: "We didn’t dare to leave because of the two burly bouncers with Tasers. If we had made a dash for it, they would have taken us down."
He believed that his friend's beer was spiked, as the latter got unusually tipsy after downing a single pint.
They were allowed to leave only after giving the club all the money they had on them, which amounted to about 5,000 baht.
Neither Miss Guo nor Daryll reported the incidents to the authorities as they did not want to go through the hassle of making a report.
Daryll said: "It's funny in hindsight, but we were really shaken then.
"We didn’t think (such a thing) could happen to us." http://www.relax.com.sg/relax/news/2...r_perform.html

This is not a new scam, it has already been known for quite a while, guys, Bangkok is a black listed area known for scams and conmen! I am super extra careful whenever in Bangkok, don't go there running around like in Spore, you will get marked!
The latest airport scam in Bangkok has reached a new high with the police being involved - many tourists while waiting for their flights at the international airport have been detained every month in the duty free area and accused of shoplifting, they were then held by the police until they pay large sums of money to buy their freedom.
Anyone going to Bangkok, please read this before going: http://www.bangkokscams.com/undercov...-thailand.html

These businessmen spoil the industry. Imagine lesser people frequenting the nightclubs.

They can charged high or many based on what they think is right. Thus, be extra careful when visiting such places.
Best is not to visit those places.
