UDON THANI, Thailand – A 24-year-old female entertainer has filed a complaint with Udon Thani City Police after a male customer allegedly failed to pay her 2,500 baht for an overnight entertainment job. The woman, identified as “Ying,” told police on August 14 that the customer first hired her at about 2 p.m. on August 13 to accompany him for drinks and conversation, with the agreed payment for that session paid in full.
Around midnight, the same customer contacted her again, saying he was upset after breaking up with his girlfriend and wanted someone to accompany him at an entertainment venue. Ying said she agreed and drove to pick him up, bringing a female friend along.
She said they spent the night talking with him, preparing drinks, dancing and trying to lift his spirits. At around 4–5 a.m., she drove him back to his accommodation. The customer paid her friend 1,000 baht but allegedly failed to pay Ying the remaining 2,500 baht. Ying said she asked about the payment before leaving. The customer, who appeared intoxicated, told her to send her bank account details and said he would transfer the money later. After receiving the details, he replied only “OK” before becoming unreachable.
She repeatedly tried calling him but received no response, prompting her to file a complaint at Udon Thani City Police Station and request assistance in recovering the unpaid amount. Ying said she was particularly upset because the job required her to stay awake through the night while spending considerable time talking with, comforting and entertaining the customer.
She said the customer appeared polite and seemed to have a stable career, which led her to believe he would pay the 2,500 baht owed. “We are working people too. We get tired and lose sleep too. We just want the money we should receive for our work,” Ying said. She stressed that she did not want to cause the customer any harm and simply hoped he would contact her and settle the outstanding payment so the matter could end peacefully.
