Excellent. I think this is smart business. Expats generally don't hit the town as often as the 2 week millionaires. But if you get 100 expats visiting once a week and spending say 400 baht, then you turn over an extra 40,000 a week

 

The other about expats is most of us have mates that visit Pattaya. Some of my friends that visit are full on 2 week millionaires.. Where do I take them? The places I normally go.

 

There is a girl in 1 bar that I go to, quite attractive and lots of fun. When I come in alone she comes and sits with me. When I come in with a friend, she comes and sits with my friend. She almost gets a bar fine every time. She at least gets about 4 drinks. Clever lady.

At last, some positive news for the scene in Walking Street.

 

For those that like to have a good drink this is great.

 

Beer bar prices in an Agogo.

 

I hope enough people take advantage of the offer to allow Spankys to make a decent profit.

So I can drink Carlsberg at 80 baht a bottle?

Yes the outfit could work 555 and yes all beers means carlsberg also! All beer we serve with the exception of Corona, also all shelf liquor.. But you must get the card and present the card at checkout.. All the best, Marc

At last? Nothing really new with a discount card. Places like Heaven Above have price reduction cards for years, on drinks and BF. I think the best deal nowadays is from the Glass House agogo whith their "Black Card": 30% reduction on your bill, including your drinks, LD and BF ! (a 1'500 coyote BF becomes a 1'000 baht BF, and 700 baht after midnight . Other dancers: 1'000 BF -> 700 baht, and 490 after midnight)

[jacko 8,813]

Nevertheless it is a good idea and it works.

I had 2 beers and the card saved me about the cost of another elsewhere.

Well done.

I'm not saying it's a new idea am I.

[bratpack 91]

Great idea

 

Some bars,naming none,totaly forget that some expats have mates who spend big on their holidays,and these guys are the ones to home into.

 

When my mate from Bangkok comes over he spends 100,000 baht in less than one month on booze/ladies.

[harro1 256]

Got my card last night. Well done Spankys

Graet news ! Thanks for the support guys and I hope you enjoy Spankys! Best, Marc

[kratos 120]

and what about the guys who are spanky fans and spend every night in spankys.. nothing for them?

[harro1 256]

Excellent line up at Spankys tonight. The card brought my bin down from 12xx to less than 1000. Great fun bar.

I like to barhop and perhaps visit 10 bars a night rarely having more than 1 or 2 drinks anywhere. Spanky's used to be a respite from the overpriced joints.

[kratos 120]

so with draft beer off and now discounts given to expats only .. that puts spankys on the last in my list ..

many new bars like GH and sugar baby are offering cards to regulars .

well when ever i dont get a girl for the night i will always remember spankys while walking down WS ,as had some good memories from there

What Sugar Baby offers ? I avoid the venue on my usual stagparty ninghts, just because I have 3 regulars there and no mood to flow the ladydrinks...

I had an "interesting" experience in Spanky's this evening, trying to get one of these VIP cards for expats.

 

I'm an old guy who has lost most of my hearing. To try and protect what's left, I always wear earplugs when I go into any gogo bar.

I've been an expat in Bangkok for many years, now living in Pattaya on an Education visa for nearly a year. I've been in Spanky's Bangkok several times, and in Spanky's Pattaya a couple times, mostly good experiences. So I was hoping to get a VIP card.

 

This evening when I came in and sat down, earplugs in, I signed my request to see a drinks menu. This was produced, but was an odd plastic card, badly smudged, and partly unreadable. This is not good.

 

Before ordering, I showed my rent receipt for my apartment in Pattaya, thinking this would be enough evidence that I am an expat living here. On the back of this receipt I wrote "Can I have a discount card?" and "มีบัตรลดราคาไหม"

I hoped to show that by writing in Thai the rough equivalent of what I had written in English, that I was indeed an expat, who had enough interest in Thailand to learn some Thai.

 

This did not get a favorable response from the waitress, who called over a Thai guy, a manager I guess. He looked at my rent receipt with my name on it, and demanded more identification. I showed him my ID card from Pattaya International Hospital. He dismissed this out of hand--not satisfactory. So I next showed him my California driver license, a photo ID. He took this outside the bar for a couple minutes, returning it to me as again not satisfactory. Then he wrote "คุณมีบัตรไทยการ์ด" which means "You have a Thai ID card".

 

At this point I could sense this was going tits-up, and would not end well. I tried to mollify him by pointing at the part of the menu that was readable and tried ordering a Leo beer (120 baht). Then I wrote in response "ผมฝรั่ง !!" "I am a farang !!"

 

This did not go over well, and the beer that I'd tried to order did not come. I was left alone for a while to think about what I had done wrong. I thought that maybe the guy wanted to see my passport. I do carry a laminated color copy of it; so I wrote "คุณอยากดู Passport ไหม ?" "Do you want to see my Passport?" I couldn't remember how to write Passport in Thai. This caused a short powwow of the Thai guy and the waitress. She came to me first, and motioned me to leave the bar, then she wrote "ไม่มีบัตร ทำไม่ได้" meaning "We don't have this card and cannot give it to you" or "Fuck off and get out of here now"; I'm not sure which interpretation is correct, but I think the latter may be closer to the truth. I can read Thais' body language, and I know by now when I have pissed them off.

 

So I have to wonder why. Can anyone (Mr. Marc?) help me understand what I did wrong?

Wow sorry to hear about all that......

I simply talked to a very pleasant Thai lady who spoke good English and showed my Pattaya Expats Club Card.

Discount card ala pronto!

Sounds like having some ability in Thai isn't such a good thing!

Or this Thai manager is a bit thick......

Or wires got crossed........that so easily happens.

[thailien 3]

jacko, thanks for your feedback.

 

A day later, now that I've had a chance to think about what (didn't) happen, I have an idea as to why.

 

The waitress last evening jabbed her finger at my face, right away when I sat down, and then pointed it at her head a couple of times; I think she was trying to sign that she remembered my face, and not in a good way.

 

About two months ago I bought a LD for a very attractive dancer in Spanky's, and was definitely ready to barfine her --- until, after being with me for a couple minutes, she went to sit with another customer. The drink I'd bought her was unfinished. In fairness to her, the other customer was probably a known contributor to her monthly income, and was about to do so again. She did seem to smile apologetically at me, from under his arm, as I paid for her quickie drink and left the bar, frustrated.

 

About two weeks later, I came back into Spanky's and she was there dancing. She even hit me a couple of times to get my attention, but sadly I was not in the mood, and ignored her. My mistake, and I do regret this. This may have upset her, and was witnessed by all the staff there.

 

Could this have been enough for me to become persona non grata in Spanky's?

When I got my card, I had to show some picture ID. Might that be why she was pointing at your face and then her face?

I really don't think so.

(Unless there is more to the tale than you are telling us)

I might have been remembered more-so, as I have been known to send a LD back if the lady moves off immediately it arrives and doesn't return leaving it untouched.

Asking for a refund, and her getting the commission tab cancelled.... well that can get you 'remembered'........

I am a little worried that Spankys is going through a 'tail wagging the dog' spell!
