Life of a bargirl is not always so bad. It's a lot more easy than the hard work on a rice field for a few baht.
All the ethical thoughts and negative aspects put aside, it is one of the most easy ways to make quick money.
An ugly beer bar girl can make as little as 2000 baht/a month if she doesn't want to go with any guy, and return to the shared room each night, provided by the bar. But all she has to do however is sit in the bar, serve some drinks, play some games like "connect 4", and use the tip box to buy food.
As a girl working in an agogo bar, you get at least 6000 to 8000 baht, but most girls can easily earn 50000 baht or more, just have some lady drinks and catch a few more ping pong balls. If you have the right looks, and find some sponsors, you can make 200000 baht or more.
Bad day? Just sleep a bit longer, instead of going to the movies in Big C with your friends.
So, why not buy that Iphone or Nokia N95? One week "sing a song" and you're ready.
There is no way back to the rice fields anymore...
