A barber shop in Ayutthaya, Thailand, has become an unexpected internet sensation for its unconventional pricing system, which humorously lists charges based on "penis size" rather than hair length. The shop, located near the historic Prasat Nakhon Luang tourist site, is owned by 40-year-old Apirak "Tee" Klinbuppha, who opened the business just three months ago.
Apirak, known for his lively personality, has yet to name his shop or formally advertise it. However, his pricing list, displayed in the shop window, caught the attention of both locals and tourists:
Small penis - 40 baht
Medium penis - 60 baht
Large penis - 80 baht
Modified penis - 100 baht
This cheeky pricing system has sparked curiosity and laughter, quickly making the shop go viral on social media. However, during a recent interview, Apirak revealed that the penis-based pricing was actually a playful cover for a more straightforward age-based system. Children are charged 40 baht, high school students 60 baht, and adults 80 baht, with more complex hairstyles priced at 100 baht.
Apirak's humorous approach, combined with his skills as a barber, has not only drawn attention but also built a loyal customer base in a short period. His shop has become known not just for its quirky pricing but also for the quality of haircuts he provides.
In addition to his creative marketing, Apirak's generosity has earned him praise from the local community. He offers free haircuts to senior citizens, people with disabilities, and individuals preparing for religious ordination, demonstrating a deep sense of kindness alongside his humor.
What began as a lighthearted gimmick has turned into a viral success story. Apirak's barber shop is now a symbol of how creativity, humor, and skill can blend to create a unique and memorable business in Thailand's vibrant cultural landscape.
