I first visited Thailand about 20 years ago. Since then, I have spent a year working in Bangkok, and visited Thailand many times. I speak basic Thai, know how to speak politely, and always show the Thai people respect. Recently, for the first time ever, I received rude customer service in a bar. Here is what happened... A male friend and I entered Baccara (Soi Cowboy) around 9:30 p.m. and found a seat upstairs. My friend ordered a beer, and I ordered a Coke. We did not sit with female company. After about five minutes, I had finished my Coke and my friend was about 1/3 done with his beer. At about seven minutes into our visit, I was asked if I wanted another Coke. I declined. At about eight minutes, I was asked again. I declined again. At fifteen minutes, my friend was almost done with his beer. I was asked again if I wanted another drink and I declined. Then the waitress curtly announced that she would get the bill, snapped the container holding our receipt off the table, and returned with the bill. I paid and we left. If this bar has some sort of drink minimum, the courteous thing to do would have been to inform us of that minimum, and give us the choice of whether to order another drink or to leave. Instead we were in effect kicked-out without explanation.

This business model is of some concern.
Obviously,it's based on pay per view..or leave
At leading Sydney lap top clubs..patrons who don't have tipping dollar vouchers get accused of being drunk or freeloaders.
You must be buying drinks or dinner..tipping or private naked shows.
On average a punter needs to spend a few hundred to not get booted out
This ensures cheap Charlie's don't grandstand the place.
However in Thailand it's a disgrace to chase out prospective bar fine guys

A friend of mine also thought that race may have been a factor. Most everyone in the place were Japanese. My friend and I were not. I don't mind that they would rather have Japanese customers than us. What I do mind is being treated so rudely.

NOW I know to apply this special rule at Baccara, not that I expect to ever set foot in the place again. Fact of the matter is, I could save some baht at other bars by not inhaling those over-priced lousy-tasting Cokes! Thanks for the pointer.

Not exactly. If you found a seat at 9:30, I guess it wasn't a weekend. This bar is SRO every night, so priority is given to customers who order drinks. Customers milking their drinks are also given the boot. If you think this is 'rude service' try The Arab's bars, especially Sahara.

As there are so many other entertainment alternatives, I'll just add Sahara to my black list based on your opinion. Thanks.

Now it all comes out and becomes clear. If the OP was sitting in a busy bar and not purchasing anything, they had every right to boot him out. This can be expected the world over, and is NOT "rude staff behavior".

That's the problem I have with soft drinks, ever since I stopped drinking alcohol. I just drink it too quickly. These days, I order Tonic water, it lasts a little longer for me.
