What the girls make in the go-go clubs by Mango Sauce
Bar girls' salaries range from 2,000 to 6,000 baht (US $55 to $164) per month.
Here are some of their work rules.
* Only two days off permitted a month, or they must pay 300 baht a day for extra leave days.
* No leave permitted on Fridays, Saturdays and national holidays. Otherwise, fines range from 500 to 1,000 baht a day.
* Must go out with the clients four to 10 times a month or pay fine of 500 baht for each missed quota.
* Must sell 80-100 drinks to clients or pay 30 baht a drink for the missed quota.
* Must have health check-up every three months. If the blood test is positive for sexually transmitted diseases, they will not get the salary for that month.
* Must wear the outfits arranged by the bars or pay the fine of 100 to 200 baht.
* Must not use the clients' restrooms.
* Must not eat during work hours.
* Must buy own drinking water.
The benefits package isn't very tempting but, on the plus side, they get to meet lots of interesting new people.
(Typical income for their takeout company is 1,500 baht (US $41) for short-time and 2,000 baht (US $55) and up for all night after the barfine is paid.)

This is a little outdated. Nana Plaza's Rainbow bars pay 10,000 a month, I believe a couple of bars pay even more than this.
Girls can certainly take Saturdays off - I hooked up with a Nana girl on a Friday night, and she stayed in my bed all weekend, paying her own barfines.
Not all bars enforce the health checks. Those that do - well, an "all-clear" note can be purchased from your doctor for 100 baht or so.
Not using the clients restrooms - many Nana (and Cowboy) bars only have one! And as for no eating when on duty, a mamasan brought a tray of food into G-Spot recently for the girls dancing on stage to eat, in the middle of a song. Not very professional...
Thanks for the update.
