I was strolling through the Naklua Walking Street festival (a special event) in Pattaya Thailand with Noochi, eating tons of amazingly delicious local Thai food. I stumbled upon a tent with many ladies threading people's faces... I had always wanted to try this, but still have never tried yet.
We first asked the price, and the ladies all said it is 100b each. We happily agreed.
There was a man in charge, named Noom, and when he saw that I wanted to video the threading, then he quickly decided to do it.
Noochi went first. They put what looked like white chalk all over the face. Then, he went to work using the thread in rhythm -- through his hands, teeth, and her face. He was quick.
Then it was my turn. I bravely let him do his work. my face felt strange, and it did sting a little here and there.
When it came time to pay, the ladies quickly insisted that I should pay 500b for both of us... Before we started, we were clearly told by multiple staff that everyone is charged 100b each. Staff explained that it is 100b each, but the extra 300b is for his time.
What is funny is that I may have tipped even higher than that...
I knew this was not what we agreed to, but I just paid it. At least I had my first threading experience.
Price told before starting was 100b/each
Price asked for at the end: 500b/2 people ($15 USD)
*** I filmed this experience three months ago, but finally sat down to edit it. I hope you enjoy the experience.
