What Is KTV?
A karaoke box is a type of karaoke establishment commonly found in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, the United States and Canada. It originated in Japan, and is now popular worldwide, particularly in Asia.
KTV stands for Karaoke Television, and it officially originated in Japan in the 70s. It is derived from the words Karappo, which means empty or void and okesutra, meaning orchestra. That’s when the first karaoke machine was invented. Over the years it has evolved into many shapes and forms.
Now KTVs are a lot more sophisticated and refer to any bar, club or lounge that have karaoke systems as well as other full-service entertainment. The modern KTV in Thailand even have TV where you can connect your phone, stream your favorite songs from Youtube, and often cutting edge light systems that make it feel like a small nightclub inside the rooms. Some are traditional and family-friendly while others are more adult and provocative in nature. Karaoke bars have become hugely popular across most of Asia, especially in South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, and China.
In Thailand, these KTV establishments are also often referred as KTV clubs, Thai sexy karaoke, and even gentlemen’s clubs.
How To KTV?
If your friends invite you to KTV but you can’t sing any Chinese songs, don’t worry. Most KTVs have a surprisingly large and diverse catalogue of songs: Chinese, English, contemporary and classic. Keep an open mind. If you were wondering what kind of songs Chinese people usually pick at KTV, I really can’t give you a definite answer. Many of my friends (mostly girls) prefer mellow songs and love to practice their singing technique. When hanging out with my bffs, My Chemical Romance is always the first choice.
