In the world of agogo bars, the allure of a “SUPERSTAR” performer is undeniable, but their time in the spotlight is often fleeting. Most of these high-profile entertainers have a brief window of just 2 or 3 years at their peak before the inevitable toll of drinking, poor diet, drug use, and general laziness begins to affect their performance and health. This rapid decline underscores the ephemeral nature of their fame.
There’s a popular saying in Thailand that encapsulates this phenomenon: "When the water comes, the fish eat the insects; when the water goes, the insects eat the fish." This proverb highlights the transient nature of success and the inevitable shift in fortunes. It’s a poignant reminder of how quickly the glamour of being a superstar can fade.
I have encountered many of these so-called superstars again after several months, and often, the second part of the saying rings true. They have transitioned from being at the top to struggling with diminished roles or leaving the industry altogether. This cyclical pattern serves as a stark reminder of the precariousness of their fame and the often harsh reality that follows.
