How much do Gogo-Girls earn per month?

[Justice]

Its called speculate to accumulate !!!

 

[Bone Idle]

if some of these girls are making so much money then why arnt they wiring money to us instead of them always taking...isnt it them that wants to break away from that lifestyle???

...for the most part

 

[Firecracker .]

ok guys, now we learned that the ladies are able to make a lot of money, if they want and if they are clever enough (and not too lavish)... seems also not very easy for the girls

next interesting point would be:
"how much earns a Mamasan per month?"
- she will have very high fix costs every month.
- girls stay an her home, or in the home of the bar owner
- she takes care that the ladies have a ride to work
- she places the ladies to the new customers in the bar
- ... and so on ...

I know one mamasan at Pattaya. she works every day; only 1 day off per month. the drives a big Jeep.
But the Mamasan is also employed the bar I think. she should get a salary from the owner of the bar for doing her job.


meanings?!?

And I thought for a brief moment, that you were a serious poster?

WRONG!

 

[everobin2000]

sure, I am serious - but also interested in those things
aren't you?

 

[Kds]

NO!

I could barely understand someone wanting to know about a dancers income...possibly a sponsor, wondering if he's being taken.

But, how much a mamason makes?

Surely you're kidding. 5555

 

[Trey]

i think thats wrong - imo,
just a greedy go go owner

Actually most bars share the tips between the drink serving staff only
In my place the cashier gets 50% as she does most of the running around, washing up etc... the salary ladies on the day split the rest.
Freelancers and dancers won't share in the days tips.
Remember, a tip in the hand is for that lady only, straight in the pocket.
Put 100B down the dancers knickers, she'll keep it.
Most Mamasans are the business owner or partner anyway.

I make sure when I tip a waitress, I put, or get them to put the tip in their pocket.

If the tip stays on the tray, it's up to bar policy. Some places split evenly, some places only the bartenders split the tips... and I'm sure some places it disappears completely.

Don't worry, Thai's watch the tip on the tray very keenly.
Staff stealing tips are caught out very quickly.

In a Thai restaurant the cook should get a big chunk of the tips, am I right?

 

[??? cam ???]

I realize this money is watched. That's my point. It's noticed that I'm giving the money to them by putting, or have them put the money in their pockets... meaning it's meant for them, and them only. I'll usually also leave 10 THB on the tray too. 1 or 2 of the places I frequent, the waitresses have a chuckle about it. Even when the tip's not large, it's appreciated.

a few years back in one of the sois off bangla , a bar i was drinking at a few times, talking to the girls , they said all tips went to the bar owner, girls did not get a share at all. so when i left i tried to give tip to girl direct, but she said no we being watched ,put in "bin", she said we get in trouble of owner if caught taking tips. so next nite i was more descreet & gave to girl 2nd last drink b4 i left & handed it to her as we were sitting close,
i never tipped that bar again cause i knew it wasnt going to the ones that deserved it,
am i wrong in doing this ?

Now, back to the OP's topic. The way I understand it ago-go dancers pay is based on how many barfines per month she's expected to get.

In Bangkok, 12,000 w/12 barfines would be typical, but on the upper end. A dancer would have 500THB deducted for each BF under her quota.

Some have a drink quota as well. I don't think there's a penalty for not making the drink quota, but if you fall short, it doesn't look good. Of course, they get a certain amount for each LD (60THB on a 160THB drink would be common, but it depends on each location) At the non-gogo bars, I know girls that will easily cross the 200LD mark per month (soi Eric pop's to mind).

In many go-go bars, the dancer will receive 50% of the barfine back, some on their pay at the end of the month.

I've heard of 5 THB/minute penalty for arriving late.

and the list goes on.

Now some girls thrive in this environment, some don't like to go with customers and try to minimize the frequency. The story below is a true story of 2 go-go dancers I met years ago in one of the Rainbow bars in BKK. (Rainbow group, known for high barfines, etc) I met them at a pool hall on Soi 4 one night after this happened. As a group of us took off to Khao San to dance it up, the whole story unfolded.

The girls had a 12,000THB salary, and a quota of 12 barfines per month (600 ea). They'd take a Japanese customer, quote 3K for ST, and go back to the bar once finished and pay the barfine for their friend for that night, and the BF for both of them for the following night. So after 1 girl took 1 customer, they'd both have 2 BFs and 2 nights off. 3000-1800=1200 remaining

The next girl would ST, and the cycle would continue. After they each had gone with 1 customer, they both had 4 BFs each, and 4 nights off. By the time they'd each taken only 3 Short Time customers that month. They'd have reached their quota, securing their full salary, had a bit of spending cash left, and of course all the lady drink money was extra. 3 customers/month each and they'd EASILY clear 15K per month. Now most girls won't be that organized, but you see it's easy to do.

I could expect some go-go girls, w/10K salary, getting BFed only 50% of the nights, 2 lady drinks each night, to clear 15K easily from the bar, and (at 1500/pop) another 22K from the customers. Remember, they often get cash tips too... even 200/day will add up to over 5K more/month. This is all only barfining once every 2 days. Not uncommon in the high season to see a decent looking girl (not talking HOT, just decent) to be BF'd most nights in the month.... where the above numbers would easily double. Also note, that I chose 2 LD's per night. Some can easily get 2 lady drinks/hour.

It all adds up, I guarantee.

Which brings me to a quote I heard LOooooong ago.

There's A LOT of money in Patong.... but you'll never see any of it!

how much do they lose playing cards or smoking ya baa and ice to "stay thin and have power for dance all night"?

100k+ girls do exist and i would guess at most 'stunners' pulling in 50-70k/month if they 'work hard'. But many in that caeforum.xxxory are also in the pick and choose their clients camp and charge more but work less.
