george Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 SOUTHNIGHT / LIFE ON THE BORDER Nightspots offer 20-baht grope A girl dances on the stage in a restaurant in the Thai-Malaysian border town of Sadao, which offers a new sex service for male customers, who can "feel" the girls for 5-10 minutes if they pay 20 baht. Young girls wearing revealing tops and tight shorts line up on stage in Sadao border town, before making themselves available to customers to "feel" their bodies for a fee. SONGKHLA: -- Nightclubs in the border town of Sadao are trying to win back tourists driven away by the violence in the deep South, offering male night owls a chance to ``feel'' beautiful women. The new sex service is available in most venues, from open-air restaurants to cafes and go-go bars. Male visitors can touch any part of the young girls' bodies, including intimate areas, for no more than 10 minutes at 20 baht a shot. Most customers are Malaysians crossing the border into the district of Songkhla, and local visitors. The girls work at nightspots in Dan Nok, the Thai border post opposite Kedah, the Malaysian northern state. After 11pm around 100 of them move to the district town, about 10km further inland, to give customers a touch until 1.30am. The girls wear skirts over shorts to deter male customers who want more than just touching. They come from across the country and are aged 15-35 years. Many also work as dancers and singers at the nightspots, when they are not being groped late at night. Yung, 25, from Chiang Mai's San Kamphaeng district, said she entered the business five months ago because she did not like studying. She made around 1,600 baht a night working in a border club but the owner took half so she had to work late in other places to make up the difference. She was not happy with her job but felt she had no choice. Twenty baht was not enough, as she had to be touched by many men each day. But at least the job gave her enough money to live on. She put 40 baht into her piggy bank every day, to save for the future. ``Twenty baht may seem like nothing, but it's all men have to pay to touch me here and there,'' she said. Yung says she does not sleep with customers. She only allows men to touch her breasts and other body parts, but not her genital area which she tried to protect as much as she could. Pam, a 22-year-old from Songkhla, said she chose to work here because she did not know what else she could do. She did not like being groped so she drugged herself with alcohol and illegal drugs while she was working. ``I just let them touch. Many 20 baht notes could add up to hundreds of baht,'' she said. She had to stop working several times after drinking too much but she needed to get drunk to inhibit any sexual feeling. ``Don't be surprised to find me withdrawn. I am simply too drunk to feel anything,'' she said. -- Bangkok Post 2004-09-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danoco70 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Sadao is a horrible little frontier town catering to letching elderly malaysian chinese, a bit like Hat Yai. I drove through it from Singapore to Koh Samui. Did like Songkhla though, but may be a bit worried about being in that region now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 Sadao, the new popular border hopping venue for farangs, as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Again one of these venues catering 99.99% only to Asians, just like the 300 bt whorehouses staffed with girls bought against small loans upcountry. We farangs will again get blamed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PvtDick Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I don't get it...what' s so much more disgusting about a 20 baht grope versus a 500 baht BJ at the Kangaroo or the Rose, versus a 1,500 baht soapy-slidy suckee- or a 2,000 baht "all night" at any number of places? Is it so much more degrading to be groped than to be screwed or forced to blow a customer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Som Nam Na Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 From what I've seen in Thai nightclubs, the Thais have a grope and a fondle for free anyway (whether she likes it or not). I've often been surprised that they don't get a slap round the chops. So this clientelle must be foriegn and need permission to do it, cos the Thais certainly don't.

Is it so much more degrading to be groped than to be screwed or forced to blow a customer? i'm with you on this dick... the whole lot is disgusting & the sooner it's cleaned up the better for all... let the sexually motivated perverts go to brasil if they want to expolit the natives... mind you if they did there would be an extreme farang teacher shortage in the LoS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekestone Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 [let the sexually motivated perverts go to brasil if they want to expolit the natives... mind you if they did there would be an extreme farang teacher shortage in the LoS I doubt if they could afford it. It's a long way for Malaysians to go. And since when are Malaysians teaching English in LOS? The point is -- and I live in the south and have been to Dannok several times -- the vast majority of the guys who thiaw there and Sadao are Malaysian. Maybe this is the kind of sad character a repressed culture produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PvtDick Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Again, how are they "sadder" than Western sex tourists who perhaps have a little bit more money in their pockets -- and consequently get beyond first base with the sisters of the girls who are getting groped down in Sadao?

Tornado Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 There has been a bar (the size of an aircraft hanger) in Phuket Town for at least as long as I have been here, doing the same thing. The name amongst the farangs is the "20 baht bar". I went there once, very seedy indeed and other than the 4 of us, no other foreigners in sight. There also used to be a place strictly for Thais, where you could dance with a girl for 10 baht - weird/funny and again a differnet part of Thailand, not seen in the tourist areas.

Which i'm sure most sex tourist do when they take their bar girls home. Sticking your fingers up somebody for a dime , now that's just sick. Buy a steak and grope that.

Good old ballroom dancing, nothing wrong with that. At village events there is often a band on stage which bring their fancy-dressed dancers. You can buy a song request and get a dance partner to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicinebox Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I think its an asian concept. My friend told me he saw some Japanese porn movies once, and all they did was stick little funny shaped plastic intrusion devices up them. One of them looked like a fuel funnel for Noddy's car...............erm he told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've taken friends from overseas to bars in Patpong. I witnessed plenty of groping over there...not for 20 baht but a lady's drink. Don't see heck a lot of difference except for Sadao it's more official where as in Patpong you take your chance of the girls pulling your hands out of there.
