Restaurants like Hooters and Tilted Kilt rely on scantily clad waitresses to boost business. But in Thailand, the wrong outfit could end up costing bar owners some serious dough.
Phung Van Quang, who owns a restaurant in Hanoi, was fined VND 40 million (about $1,800 USD), for having waitresses dressed only in skimpy red bikinis serve drinks to customers last week, reports Thanh Nien News.
