A ping pong show in Thailand is a type of stage entertainment that takes place mainly in strip clubs and is known as a form of live sex show. In these shows, women use their pelvic muscles to hold, eject, or blow objects from their vaginal cavity. The most iconic objects used are ping pong balls, but performers may use a variety of items like eggs, bananas, ribbons, whistles, pens, cigarettes, and more. One performer usually performs on stage using these feats, often while lying on her back, sometimes standing, and is typically bottomless, wearing only a bikini top or bra. The ping pong show originated in Thailand in the 1970s to entertain soldiers during the Vietnam War and has since become popular among foreign tourists, especially in cities like Bangkok (Patpong district), Pattaya (Walking Street), and Phuket (Bangla Road). These shows are associated with the sex tourism industry and raise ethical and human rights concerns. While officially banned under Thai obscenity laws, the shows often continue due to demand from tourists and local police corruption. Entrance fees range from about 10 to 20 US dollars or 300 to 1000 Thai baht, with additional charges for drinks or tipping performers. The shows take place in venues where customers are often brought in by hosts or approached on the streets by agents. Overall, a ping pong show is a controversial erotic spectacle unique to the region, combining elements of performance art with sexualized entertainment.
