The term "bar fine" (sometimes shortened to barfine; colloquially paybar) is used to refer to the payment made by an employee or customer to the operators of a bar to allow the employee (typically a dancer or hostess) of the bar to leave work early, normally to accompany the customer. This is typically part of a form of prostitution typical in some countries where it is commonly tolerated or legal, including Thailand and the Philippines.
In areas where this form of prostitution is common, paying an employee's bar fine by a customer may or may not include payment for sexual services. For example, a typical bar fine in red light districts in Thailand (such as Nana Plaza or those found in Pattaya) is 500-600 Thai baht (13-15 USD as of January 1 2005) and does not include payment for sexual services which must be negotiated separately with the employee being bar fined.
