Bandung Party with Lao Dancers

Crazy dog and Ancient, thanks for the feedback also.
I will see if we can have a look at such a concert sometime.

What might be the problem if a women is alone such a place ? Rape ? Loss of face ?

^^ Falang involved or blamed at a concert fight? never heard of such a thing, people worry too much.

Perhaps. You know as well as I do, that falangs get blamed where there is a possibility of money extraction, so I just dont bother going to big do`s.

Normally it involves not much more than a bit of a scuffle where one brave lad hits another then promptly runs off followed by the assaulted and friends. if I am honest across a range of concert types and venues there is serious trouble at a very small percentage.

The last one I saw, involved around a dozen youths throwing bottles, and those ping pong style grenades. Yes they were seen off, but it still cast a cloud over the evening.

Women of course should never go alone,or be left alone unless they know a lot of people there.

No they shouldnt. What if they were with a person who was supposed to be trustworthy, and known to the family?

What exactly are suggesting? Care to elaborate, rather than speaking in tongues?

Strange concert last night, organised and paid for by the Police with Police logo on the tickets. I was expecting hordes of uniformed cops, but never saw one. It was at a private University in a very nice concert hall. Seems the whole event was an anti drug concert, but no mention of drugs and no posters, leaflets etc. After the Mrs said it was probably done just to use up some of the Police budget before they got the new one in Oct, but as far as anti drugs campaigns go it was a waste of time. I have been to a very visible anti drug one recently though at another Uni but not done by the cops.
Concerts are being increasingly used by the govt to get their message across, to little effect I would say, mostly it is done to promote health campaigns, but also the ministry of 'information' have been sponsoring some radio concerts, will be going to one today to see the 'Queen of morlam'.

Police money well spent i'd say, On Oradee

Astasinim. There is no hidden agenda here.
I am new to thai culture so I ask out of honest curiosity.
I just wonder why a single female is not advised to go.

In the west, she might get assaulted if she is in "the wrong place at the wrong time", maybe it is the same in Thailand ? I am most familar with USA and Europe, thus my question. I am not implying Thai men or women are particulary bad compared to other nationalities.

Fair enough Bob. I obviously misread your post. I thought you were trying to imply something else. Apologies.

I just wonder why a single female is not advised to go.

Same reasons as in the west I`d say.

Sorry to lower the tone of the thread a bit but......a while back I saw a video on a bargirls' phone of a concert, somewhere in Isaan I think, of one of these shows with naked girls dancing on the stage.

I've been to a few of these shows around the country but never seen that before, unfortunately! It looked like your typical open air stageshow with loads of young Thai lads at the front leering, the girls were butt naked and there was a couple of little paddling pools they were splashing about in. Anyone ever saw or heard of one of these?
