i went up to super pussy a few years ago because the tout had a sign for 100 baht drinks or something like that.
i knew it was a scam bar.
i order a coke. watch the show. there's a few tourists in there.
i get the bill and it's 800 baht or 1000 baht something like that.
told them i'm not paying. i'll give you 120 baht for the coke because that's what others bars charge.
there was a lot of back and forth but i never felt intimidated. i think i ended up paying 150 baht and the server was pissed off kicking my leg like thais do to signal their disgust when i was on my way out.
basically i just stayed calm, never showed any fear, never raised my voice, just told them how much i'm paying.
