That side of Second Rd past the Klang is as dead as the area around The Lek was during lockdown. 

Yuth Bar next to Siam@Siam hotel is re-opening Sept 1st, an event with live music.

Looks like they are recruiting too; PR/Coyote staff at 15k Baht per month.

Some tidying up going on today in readiness; well, a girl with a mop.

Yeah 15k sure this is probably the scam 15k salary based on drinks sold?

The ad is in Thai mostly so I am not sure what it exactly says.

Lol nope

Some Thai girls are real magicians for make up and clothing

(I don't even talk about the ladyboys)

The bars and discos lighting  (Or the lack of it) add the fantastic note

especially if combined with many beer...

like the jobs all the millions of women that don't work in bars do. Bar girls are, IMO, lazy which is why they work in bars, and don't do other jobs. Could also have something to do with making more money than a non bar job.

especially if they,ve got a stable of mug farangs sending them "sponsor" money every week.

It's become a generation thing now. 

 

A bar girl's mother worked in the bar, so did her grandmother.

 

If one generation didn't p*ss away the money, then the daughters of the next generation, and following generations, wouldn't have to work as prostitutes.     

It's simpler than that. For girls with no education qualifications it's a chance to make loads more money than in a sweat shop or as a maid ( absolutely horrible job ) or farming.

Also, it's more fun than they would have in an ordinary life, and the chance of catching a rich farang ATM.

Cynical much? Good looking girls are in short supply for the bars so need to pay good wage to attract. Nothing to do with drinks sold.

Yes, but I am quite sure there are certain elements of the job that are not "fun."
