This can be as much as 800 bht a girl. Having said that, I have taken a few different girls into g-clubs, and they have always had a great time. @Drama - girls with customers are tolerated by the G-clubs, but they are not made particularly welcome…..and most g-clubs will charge you a door fee for every girl guest you bring in to cover their loss of money from you likely not buying g-club girls drinks.

He did something I haven't done before; he asked the Mamasan to bring one of the "front room girls" [my term] to sit with him. These are the girls in coctail dresses who drink and verbally entertain the customers. It turns out that you either need to be buying lady drinks for them or you will be charged anyway. The girl was drinking my whiskey and talking to my buddy. When the bill came, I'd been charged two drinks for her. I spoke to the Mamasan who explained that the club charges 1 lady drink for every 35 minutes the girl sits with you (if you're not actually buying her drinks). After Member Discount, this is 288 baht every 35 minutes. So, for 1 hour 45 minutes you would pay 864 baht, or about 500 baht per hour for her company. In my previous visits, I have sat alone for the brief periods of time I spent in the front room. I spent most of my time in the disco. The dancers can spend their time where they like when they are not dancing, though they earn 130 baht per lady drink, so they are motivated to get you to buy them. As I learn more and more I realize that it's more expensive than it seems at first blush. @Drama: I don't know the answer to your question, but you could probably just call them to find out. 02 655 3890.

I realise the Pent is a G Club and therefore, by definition, targeted at guys. However, I was wondering if there were two or there girls in our party, and I don't mean your average Nana/Cowboy slappers, would they be welcome there?

Since I am a frequent visitor of BKK but not a resident a membership wouldn't be an option for me. But to listen to a decent live band, hooking up with a funny, fresh and fun uni-girl and to later eventually take her out for more party and a LT.. what else can I ask for :D Mochalover, Werewolf: Thank you very much for your suggestions!

Meaning the live bands, the shows and so on tend to take over and since this all happens in one room that leaves less time for coyote dancers. Granted they can't danc all night since unlike the nana 2 step shuffle some of these girls are actually moving. I am somewhat excited about the pent since with it all being in separate rooms the dancers in the disco room seem to be going more and none of this is impeded by the live band. Another place they tended to take shorter live music breaks and keep the dancers going more was thonburi plaza.

For me there was too much live music and not enough coyote dancing but had a good time anyway. If you like good live music then Sopranos is a good place to go, the house band really is very good. They were playing an assortment of rock covers last night incl. Linkin Park and Queen. I went to Sopranos last night.
