Scammed

We finally had the chance to visit one of Thailand's red light district named Pot Phong two nights ago and although our expectations about the place were met, there was one incident which we did not find appealing at all. Watching its infamous shows was not part of the itinerary but since we were curious, we decided to give it a whack. Initially, the man who was promoting the shows offered an enticing rate of 100 baht per person. 100 baht was not bad; in fact it was pretty darn good. So off we went to an establishment called Perfect Bar. When we got in, an unlikely bouncer greeted us and showed us to our table. The place reeked of molds, sweat and old beer and you can immediately see the supposed ladies dancing on the makeshift stage. Each lady will perform a stunt which will showcase her talent in terms of the capacity of her private organ. I would daresay that the show was not a disappointment but the strained faces of the performers were more than enough to make you lose your interest. By satisfying our curiosity, we have officially supported prostitution in Thailand --- a thought that we are not proud of. After the third show, the bouncer returned to show us a piece of paper that screamed of 2400 baht. We were duped! We explained to her that the man who showed us to their place specifically informed us that it will only cost us 100 baht each and she said that the man was not an employee. She started screaming at our friend who spoke Thai as an attempt to scare us. After minutes of much needless arguing, an agreement was made and that we were only going to pay 900 baht. We decided to cough up the sum just to get it over with. After the banana stunt, we left the place with a sour taste in our mouths.
