Although bar fines are common in most countries popular for sex-tourism, this guide is mostly based on our experience of bar fining bar staff in Thailand. Although we feel the information below is a "complete bar fine guide" this information is subject to change at anytime. It's also important to note, as the sex-tourism industry is often not legal or regulated in most of the countries where bar fines are customary, a lot of the information here is not set in stone.

There may be several reasons why someone would want to bar fine a member of staff from a bar. For this guide, we will be focusing on how bar fine prices will affect short-time and long-time options.

Bar By Bar
There are a wide variety of bars in Thailand. These bars also have a variety of targeted customers. From the low cost beer bar to the high-so night clubs, the bar fine prices will also vary. At the bottom of the scale are the beer bars. When bar fining beer bar staff, you shouldn't expect to pay more than a few hundred baht at most. On the other end of the scale are agogo bars and nightclubs, where bar fines are usually around 800 baht or even 1000 baht per bar staff member barfined.

Girl By Girl
When bar fining girls from bar, another factor that comes into consideration is the girl's job or the girl herself. There are often different prices for different bar staff within one bar. In one agogo bar there may be different jobs or contracts that the girls are on. These will determine the price the girls get paid per week and also how much bar fines are for each girl. Coyote dancers are usually around 600 baht and the more attractive or at least more popular "models" are can be 800 to 1000 baht.

Also, it is important to remember that as well as paying for the bar fine that customers will also need to pay the bar fined bar staff money for their time whether short-time or long time. The price that will need to be paid will also vary from girl to girl or bar staff member to bar staff member. Often, the price will depend on a lot of variables. Is the bar staff member attractive? Are they in need of money or not? Do they like you and want to go with you or not? Do you look like a newbie and can they trick you into paying more?

Season By Season
Bar fine prices for bar staff also varies depending on the season. During high season when there are more tourists and more demand, bars will more often than not, put the prices of bar fines up for all staff. It makes sense for the bars in that, during high season, the bars need to try to keep at least a few of their girls in their bar. Tourists looking for somewhere drink are less likely to stop for a drink if there are no girls in the bar. Bars put up the bar fine prices to cash in and also discourage the bar fining of all their staff at one time.

Happy Hours and Discounts
For a bit of fun and to encourage more bar fines, some bars offer happy hour discounts and promotions from time to time. Also, When taking more than one member of staff, sometimes, bars will do promotions where they reduce the bar fine prices and give a discount.

Cheaper And No Bar Fines
Just So You Know

Bargain Blowie?
There are some bars that offer cheaper bar fines, or sometimes no bar fines at all. It is possible to find happy end massage shops, blowjob bars and short-time bars that do not ask for a bar fine fee. Of course, customers will still need to pay the short-time, long-time or short-time room rent fees. However, by removing the bar fine fee, these bars are possibly a much better option for those on a budget.

Happy Endings
Looking for a little fun without having to pay a bar fine for bar staff? One way to do this is to get a massage and happy ending. Also, if nothing else, this is another excuse to try a happy ending massage. Happy ending massages may be a good option for anyone looking for short-time on a budget. When visiting a happy ending massage establishment it is possible to have full-service or a happy ending massage for less than 1000 baht without having to pay any bar fine fees.

Blowjob and Handjob Bars
It is possible to avoid the bar fine altogether. Visiting a blowjob or handjob bar it is possible to have a blowjob or handjob whilst sitting at the bar without ever leaving. Looking for a little more privacy? Many blowjob and handjob bars have rooms on the premises where bar staff can be taken to the room without paying any barfine.

Freelancer Bars
Whether long-time or short-time, it is possible to take girls from "freelancer bars" without paying any bar fines. A freelancer bar is just a normal bar, sometimes with their own bar staff working in the bar, but they will allow freelancers who are not employed by the bar or contracted to the bar, to come and sit in the bar, get lady drinks and leave with customers. In this way the bar will have more girls in the bar who are not taking a salary but will attract more customers to the bar. Taking freelancers from freelancer bars is sometimes a little safer than taking girls from the street as there is sometimes security at the bar who will check the girl's ID before leaving the bar, to confirm the age and sex of the girl and also sometimes recording the info for customer safety. However, not always, so make sure to always take care.

Street Freelancers
A well known cheaper option with no bar fines and also cheaper short-time and cheaper long-time prices is street freelancers. Famously found along Beach Road in Pattaya, freelancers are often older, fatter or sometimes gorgeous but a little rough around the edges. There is a reason why they are not working the bar, let's hope you don't find out what that reason is.

Online Escorts
Avoiding bars altogether, booking an online escort to come to your condo or hotel room is an obvious way to avoid bar fines. There are many escort companies that can be found easily with a quick Google search. Depending on which escort comany you use, the escort who arrives at your room or hotel may even be working at a bar at the time or may be a full-time escort not associated to any bars. Either way, you will not be expected to pay any bar fine prices. The only problem with booking an escort online is that the pictures of the escort online may not be a true reflection of the escort who turns up at your door. Even worse, which happened to us is that the escort company sends someone completely different from who you wished to book.

Dating Apps
A little known tip known by many expats who live and work around the popular sex-tourism cities around the world is the use of dating apps such as Tinder, TanTan and Thai Friendly. Why go to all the hassle of messaging and wining and dining of girls from Tinder when bar girls are so much easier? In cities such as Pattaya and Bangkok, a lot of bar girls also promote themselves on these platforms. by contacting them you can avoid the hassle of leaving the house, going to the bar and bar fining the girl, you can just contact them on said dating app and arrange a time to meet-up.

Get Their Facebook
Another way to avoid bar fines, that is heavily frowned upon by the bar managers, is to get the girl's phone number, Facebook or Line ID. If you pop into the bar for a drink and get the girl to sit with you for a drink, you can ask them to call you once they finish working and meet up after work hours. This way there is no bar fine to pay. Some "Cheap Charlies" not willing to pay the bar fine will arrange to wait outside the bar for the girl to finish her shift and then head back to their room together. Bar managers do not like this strategy and may discipline the girls if they are caught doing this.
