Our first night was in Chompon. We got there around 8.30pm and like most THai towns at night it was dark and gloomy. We had picked a town centre hotel and immediately hatched a plan - eat and then Kareoke.
That we were staying in Chompon isn't interesting - but going to a Kareoke is. You might have had a night out in one with a bar-fine. If you haven't, then try it. It will open your eyes as to what "being taken care" really means. You begin to understand why some of the girls in Beer Bars do what they do.
Anyway, going in alone is different altogether. Then you get the full treatment ......"you want a girl?" " no, we will just sit down" .
Two arrive anyway. Sit next to us. Serve Samsung soda cokes. The order of two Samsung Cokes is translated as a half bottle by the way. The girls (mine is definitely a woman - she left girlhood a few decades ago) start to massage our arms, thighs and necks. We remark that the singer is pretty - so she comes over is invited to sit next to me - got rid of grandma anyway.
The girls, we now have 4, give up allowing us to only buy them coffee and move on to Spry. They are also helping themselves to our Samsung.
Talk of Bar Fines, Short and Long Times. 500 and 2000 overnight. Nope thanks - we are tired, but thank you.
Tips all round. Total bill for a great 90 minutes when they made us feel like Kings? Around 1200 baht. I've spent that in 5 minutes in Casino.
