Exchange rate is a pound is 44 baht, so easy to think of 4500 baht as £100
===Girl bar===
These are bars where the staff is all girls. They may bring you drinks (they are staff), but they will also sit with you if you buy them a drink. In many of the popular punting towstowns, they are in fact escorts and will stay with you LT or ST, just like the Go gosGogos.===Mama-san===This is the lady who manages all the girls. She is not the bar manager, but is in a position of respect. The word comes from the Japanese '-san' connected to the western word 'mama'. '-san' is an expresion of respect, like Mr. This expression probably came from US military who were first in Japan and then in Thailand and the Philippines.
===ThaiFriendly===
* For first timers, buy the Book 'Money Number One', by Neil Hutchison.

* In Thai slang, '''555''' means "haha" or "lol" because the Thai word for the number five, "ห้า" (\(h\text{ă}\)), is pronounced like the "ha" sound of laughter.
* The '''bin''' is the cup on your table with the growing payment that you owe. Look at it every now and then. Barfines will go on the bin, ST/LT wont (pay the girl). So to 'checkbin' is to pay and go.
* '''333''' is rude slang for certain men that have 3 inches, 3 minutes, 3000 baht. Bar Girls favorite.
* '''LoS''' means Land of Smiles, or Thailand!
