In the Patpong-style bar catering to foreigners the bar girls are freelance agents. They earn their income from a percentage of the drinks bought on their behalf and from sex liasons arranged off premises. If they leave during working hours the customer pays a bar fine. None of what she negogiates for other services goes to a controller. In many circles it is acceptable for Thai men, married and unmarried, to visit prostitutes and many Thai women are aware (which does not mean they approve) that their husbands and boyfriends visit them. There are certain ground rules though, and Thai people do not understand why Farang (foreigners) demean themselves by being seen in public with Thai prostitutes.
