KTV Girls,
water color on paper, 18x24 inch
There
must be more than ten thousand Karaoke Bars in Bangkok. The songs are stored on
hard drives and delivered digitally. The
whiskey and cola mixer comes on a stainless steel
tray with a fresh bucket of ice. Tasty Thai
snacks are cooked to order. Some KTV’s are
hi-end, others tucked in corrugated sheet metal sheds. There are usually some girls, to
laugh, drink and sing with you or for you, smiling, flirting, mixing the drinks
and ice. It’s an
instant party, so long as you have the cash to pay.
