Goonersh. This is not a comment on your girl at all but I think you need to understand about the singers in the Thai style places. I have several male Thai friends that enjoy taking me to these places so I have seen first hand the set up. Yes the girl has to be soui mak to get a job there. Able to sing of course , but this appears to be secondary to her appearance. Maybe thats just my bias because the Thai guys seem to be quite enthusiastic.The girls are paid normally 6,000bht a month basic. They earn extra money on top by flirting with the customers, who in turn buy them garlands to hang round their neck. These cost 100bht each, of which the singer gets 50%. It is no exaggeration to say I have seen the girls given so many, they disappear under them. After they leave the stage they are expected to join the men at the table, where they will eat and drink with them and basically flirt. They get a further 50 bht for every drink they get.
Then its back on the stage for the next show. This goes on till late, after midnight. The girls in most places do not have to go off with the client but many do. At a,price, normally 5,000bht. They never go all night, normally 2 hrs max.Most of the guys are married and have to get home to their wives.Some establishments have short time rooms available.Now I am not saying all the singers go out. I myself have been refused at times, but that may be because I balk at the price. It is normal for the girls to swap establishments each night. Presumably to get more customers who wouldn't know she has already been out in the last place. They are expected to wear a cocktail style revealing dress which the place provides but the cost is deducted from her earnings.
I am not suggesting your lady works in this manner but I think you should be aware of all possible circumstances.
