Asian Pastime

1. How do some Thais spend their leisure hours? And what gives them pleasure? I was about to find out when we visited the top floor of the Central World Shopping Arcade.

2. At the far end of the long bowling alley, there are a couple of doors behind which were two rooms with comfy sofas, a large screen, machinery and two microphones.

3. The fun then begins. Each person chooses their song and to a backcloth of scenery from various countries in the world, the words appear and off we go. What a racket, well depends on what sort of a voice one has.

4. The Thais enjoy spending their time and money singing away to songs of their choice for a couple of hours. Each to their own.

5. Last night was more a question of 'when in Rome' Some stayathomes would disagree with the comment, but the faraways would not like to be thought of as killjoys.
