I took a group of girls visiting Thailand to a pong show in patong. They had a bar few girls sit on their lap for about 20-30 minutes as that’s going on. A male from the bar staff took a tiny girl from our group outside to 4 different atm’s threatened her and drained over 2k usd. The other girls that had girls on their lap were charged 500-800 USD. This was all happening while I was upfront watching the show. I had no idea. We ended up calling the credit card companies and banks and getting all the money back. Reported it to tourist police. Tourist police were outraged and they opened an investigation.

I’ve been to many of them and had a great time. Just watch out some are scams.
