    Powerful men in Thailand.

    Hello, everyone.

    I was told that in Thailand if the man is very powerful (having a governmental position or being a police chief, for instance) he has the right to go out with women that already have a boyfriend or are married? Is this cultural?

    I was told a story that a girl needed to go out with a powerful man (who is married) in Thailand because he was the chief police officer. She went out with him but together with her mother. And the girl told me that in these situations the powerful man even wants to have sex with the girl.

    Is this cultural?

    Thanks for the answer.

    Yes. Any Thai male over the rank of Pizza Delivery man (second class) has the right of Droit de Seigneur. This is the true meaning of the paratrooper wings worn on every uniform from crossing attendant to the dizzy heights of sergeant of immigration police.

    It's not such a stupid question. There is a lot of intimidation through seniority and patronage, and failure to abide can result in violent consequences so yes, young beautiful Thai women are a target for powerful scumbags.

    I would think outright intimidation is rare.

    And do they have the "right", as in OP? No.

    But is "powerful men" using their position and influence to sway young lasses unique to Thailand, again, I would have to feel the answer is no.

    You would be amazed how deferentially the upper (ie w/$) classes think of and treat the lower classes here. So would General Vargas.

    Yes, I am from Brazil. And it does remind me of Vargas era.

    But as it was mentioned here before, I think that's fading and there are not many instances of this practice nowadays. For example, my friend said she has the right to say "No" if asked.

    I believe you under-estimate the problem. And it's not limited to Thailand. A guy from Brazil should know.
    Everywhere in the world where there is huge income difference between those in charge and those not, there is a lot of intimidation and pressure on young beautiful women. Whether by government officials, or by factory owners intimidating their workers...

    I urge to disagree with that. If that exists in Brazil, it'd be in a very very archaic village or small town. But again, there is a big "If" n that.

    So I guess you grew up in Brazil and know all that goes on behind closed doors. From what I have heard from friends, women are used in the same way there as in Thailand. Does that not open the intimidation door?

    That's hardly ever the truth. The idea of giving away your beloved to a "more powerful" man sounds utterly absurd and it is not acceptable whatsoever in Brazil. Maybe in past days like in Vargas era and even so there was a lot of physical and psychological pressure over the relatives and the lady in order for this to be done. It was never a pacific negotiation.

    Long long ago (say 15th century) that was true. So I don't know what your friends told you but they are certainly misinformed. I've lived in Brazil for 31 years

    Let me just give an example:

    I taught a really nice girl on an MA course, she was basically a Thai from a Northern tribe, but full Thai passport, etc. She told me that she had two sisters, all ere attractive, and one had been taken away from her family at 15 to be fuked by the local hi-sos before being sent to Japan for prostitution.

    I asked her why she didn't report it; she told me it was the senator and head of police who controlled it.

    I asked her why her father didn't fight it; she told me that her dad did have a choice - give up a daughter or have all 3 killed. She also said this wasn't an idle threat and was standard practice.

    I believe her.

    Let me give another example:

    Folks wonder why the young motorcycle racer gangs are not stopped. Well, the girls that hang around the gangs, 13, 14 and 15 years old mostly, are used as prostitutes both for the winning racer, but more importantly for the local police and hi-sos. &, I'm talking about this going on in the famous little island itself, nevermind outside of Bangkok...
