   We have these clubs colloquially called "siam diu" loosely translated as a sort of disco where the girls there are basically there to accompany/drink/play games/entertain the customers at their tables/sofas. And in-exchange you have to tip them via "flowers" or "banners" starting from $50 being hung around their heads when they perform on stage, be it dancing or singing. They are mostly from Thailand, China or Vietnam. More exotic ones would be Taiwan, Hong Kong and Korea.
