Not too long ago, I was at a bar in Nana Plaza when I noticed some sort of disturbance near the entrance. When I looked over, I saw a woman, maybe in her early 50s, crying her eyes out while looking at the girls up on the stage. As she was sobbing, she would scream out in Thai seemingly in exasperation, as if she was pleading to someone on stage. I don't speak Thai so I couldn't tell if she was trying to communicate with all the girls on the stage or just one. The management of the bar did not try to kick her out, but instead tried to calm her down. They sat her down near the entrance and kept pleading with her in Thai and based on their gestures, it seemed as if they were asking her to calm down and not make such a scene. One mamasan brought her a cup of tea. Clearly, management was concerned that this display might disturb the other customers. Other customers were observing this scene and were noticeably uncomfortable.
Does anyone know what might have been going on?

Hey bro, I couldn't tell you for sure what you witnessed, but just as a wild guess I would say that since she was looking at someone up on the stage that maybe some dancers mother just found out how her little girl is really earning all that money she has been sending home every month. Working in a bar instead of cleaning hotel rooms like she told her she was doing. Now that I think about it that's a pretty sucky guess if it turns out to be true. That has to be one of a BG's worse nightmares. For the family to find out what they really are doing for a living ( That is those who's family didn't have a hand in their choice of "career" in the first place ). Let's hope it was something else. Peace

Is it possible that this 50 year old was begging to be let on stage to strut her stuff? Maybe she was a victim of BG politics or corporate downsizing and was pleading her case to the management. I once did a 45 year old aunty and damn, she taught me some moves that I had no clue about.

Sounds very like the girls mother, of course none of the girls say what they do ; and in most cases, although the family may gess, the just accept the cash sent home, and dont ask ... if any other reason I am sure the bar would not have been so accomodating towards the woman, - it is strange the girl didnt jump off the stage and talk to her ... no doubt embarrassment all round, I would imagine the girl also had a thai husband/child that had been part of the confrontation also ... not sure how this would pan out, the mother obviously did not believe what she had heard, and wanted to see for herself, so she loses face when see understands the girls job, the girl loses face when he mother sees her, the establishment loses face with an upsetting scene ... - maybe you could have jimped in with a quick bar fine and got a good discount !!!! - Normal result is that the mother will disown the daughter, but probably forgive her in a month or two when the cash keeps getting sent upcountry - TIT [ We do forget, by and large, TGs are raised with high moral standards, until, usually indesperation, they cross the line .. ]

Yes, I agree. I thought it was strange that one of the girls did not jump down from the stage and try to calm her mother down, if indeed that was what was going on. Maybe, it was because of shame that no one did.
My suspicions were the same as what everyone has posted - the girl came to the "big city" and the mother came in from the countryside in search of her only to find her working in a go-go bar. And management didn't kick her out of the bar out of respect for elders. It's very sad if that was the case.

Cmore could be right of course and I would expect him to think like that (he's a kindhearted soul  ) but here's a dash of cynicism for you.
It simply isn't true that the parents usually don't know what the girls are doing. In all the villages for many years people have known where and how girls make good money. I'm sure there may be some folks living in ignorance but I think they are most certainly in the minority.
1) Some parents know and are open about it.
2) Some parents know but deny the truth to others.
3) Some parents know and pretend they don't. (So as to make it easier for them and their daughters. They and the daughter don't have to face up to the fact that the parents profit from their daughter selling themselves.)
You say: What about all the girls that have told me that their parents don't know? Why would they say that? Simple: They think that you will think badly of their parents for letting their daughter do this and taking money from the daughter(because deep down inside they think that about their parents).
Now for the really cynical part. That mother might have been there demanding some money and the girl just had had enough of that. Too many times paying for mom's gambling debts/brothers bail money/dad's alcohol needs. That would also explain why the girl dared to behave that way without fear that her colleagues would blame her for not responding to her mother's distress (which normally they would).
Surely not you say? Back in the day when I was inthe business I've seen this more than once.
A less cynical idea: Maybe there was some reason why mom wanted the girl to go home and she just refused -- but in such a case she normally would feel a great deal of social pressure (if not her own compassion) to go and talk to her mom.
Actually I wonder if the post is actually a troll. It sounds a bit too perfectly set up to suggest a specific idea...

No, I'm not a troll. You need not be so suspicious. I actually did witness this scene and I present it here only to see if this has happened before. If so, I was hoping that others might provide some insight. I was actually trying to keep an open mind about it and believe that there might have been some other reason for such a scene.

Hey, I just wondered. I don't doubt it's possible because as I said, I've seen similar occurences -- but I was in a position to find out what was going on.
And I'll be just as suspicious as I like, thanks.
