CityNews – On 18th July, Adisorn Kamnerdsiri, the deputy governor of Chiang Mai held a meeting to discuss solutions of overcharging karaoke bars in Chiang Mai, some of which have threatened, beaten, and extorted people for many years.
The deputy governor told the press that Chiang Mai was a well-known tourism hub with a growing number of visitors and so this kind of behavior was unacceptable. Some karaoke bars he said took advantage of people and made up bills for significant amounts of money, especially when it involved drunken tourists. He added that when the customers did not pay the bill, the karaoke bars would then threaten the customers, seize their belongings, or even physically abuse the customers.
This meeting happened after many local tourists who had succumbed to karaoke bar exploitation wrote about their experience online as well as informing the press. It has been decided that the bars in question, seven in total, should join the next meeting and explain themselves. The public are also invited to join the meeting so they might state their case and offer solutions.
