Shaved hair, unpaid bill: Bangkok host-bar debt dispute goes viral

An 18-year-old used a modified ID to enter Bangkok host bars and ran up about ฿60,000 in drinks (over 200) for several male performers after a TikTok-fueled attraction. When unable to pay, staff allegedly offered to cancel the debt in exchange for surrendering her hair, and she was shaved bald; her mother says consent was misinterpreted, while the manager says the act was excessive but voluntary. The incident sparked a police investigation and a viral video, highlighting risks around host bars, online promotion, and underage patrons.
