Up-Country Brothels

[Jack meoff]

I bet you can't guess who runs this quaint little business?

I always wondered what business you were in mtd?

[somtamslap]

Full of dark skinned ladies and visited by shady mongers and "reporters".

Also recently stumbled upon a rare gem in these parts..a lady bar designed for farang usage..had to do some serious investigating in there..again, ladies younger than the usual touristy places and all local to the area..not a sex slave in sight..

Actually most are fair skinned Loasies. The odd Khmer in there too of course. For the blokes with only 100b.

Gonna Need NightVision Goggles then. Its certainly an Interesting pastime or calling that Somtamslap has. He must be the talk of the Neigbourhood after Visiting these places, I suspect he'd be better leaving the Notebook and pencil at home.
The ladies are going to think he's some sort of Perv.

I'm one step ahead of you Jubby me old mucker..went to Tesco Lotus yesterday and bought meself a top of the range dictaphone....classy?..well, you know..

[withnallstoke]

top of the range dictaphone.

You do know that a dictaphone isn't actually for your dick?

[somtamslap]

Yes, I do..and remember to e-mail me regular updates..the southern faction of the enquiry has been a bit quiet of late...have you stopped using brothels or somet?

[Davis Knowlton]

Anyone remember that brothel that burned down in Phuket Town many years ago? Might have been twenty years ago. The girls were found burned alive, chained by the ankles to the beds. Mostly Burmese.

[jubby]

The Dictaphones sure to please the mamassan or BIB owner of the Illegal establishment. my old Mucker ;-)

[El Gibbon]

That piece of property was in a very prime location within Phuket Town. Sat vacant & fallow for many many years. No one would buy it due to the ghosts of the girls. Yes, they were chained to the beds and all died in the blaze.

A couple of years ago the city paved a portion of the lot and the last I knew it was an open market.

Maybe Happyman can verify it.

I invited her to sit down and take a drink, before I whipped out my notepad and pen..first things first..Where was she from? As I expected, Mae Sai..right on the Burmese border..Next question, how long had she been involved in her current occupation and how old was she?...6 years and 22 years respectively..hmm sold into the game in her mid teens.. Further questioning..how long have you been here and how long are you planning on staying..6 months in the current brothel and no idea when she'll ever leave.

On this and most any forum that has to do with the "naughty life," it is all but uniformly accepted that the bargirls/hookers are accomplished liars, manipulators and scammers. That is just part and parcel to the trade.

So I have a question for all the "investigators" out there. Given the above, why do you all think that miraculously, the girls will come clean and start telling the truth about their lives just when you happen to arrive on the scene to "help them?" Is it not most likely that the girls are running a game on you, too, for whatever profit they can gain? Sympathy money, perhaps? And for a few extra coins, don't you think they would say about anything you want them to?

Are "investigators" blind to or simply do they choose to ignore this possibility? Or is the agenda just that important?

While I don't think anyone will deny that there is human trafficking happening all over the world, and the story that DK told above is indeed sad, I don't see the problem to be as widespread as many are making it out to be.

[Nawty]

Ta..this is the mere introduction of the book..

You mean you are just copying from a book....this is not your own real investigation ?

Disappointed.

[khang]

That feminist crap about all prostitutes being "victims" is pure nonsense. I'm sure there are some, but to read most of the western literature, virtually every woman who sells her booty is somehow being "forced" to do so. Of course there were many days when I was "forced" to go to my office when I really didn't want to. Does that entitle me to "victim" status?

Many are victims,of course BobR. Hardly compared to you being forced to go to the office. They are victims of their greedy families and greedy brothel owners and their environment.

Bob's point is valid, if increasingly unpopular. The definition of "forced" is what is at question, here. In the layperson's mind, forced as it applies to human trafficking congers images of people kidnapped or sold and imprisoned.

But the "feminists", Christian groups, and general save-the-world-types that BobR alludes to are re-engineering the word to ALSO mean that social conditions (poverty, family expectations and belief structure, etc.) dictate the actions and decisions of these sex workers, and so they are relieved of the responsibility for their decision to go into the business. Ergo. they are FORCED.

The activist groups here have a good reason for this re-definition. What might once have been a RELATIVELY isolated problem by the old definition is now a HUGE problem. It is interesting to note, though, that in their literature, they are not typically forthcoming with this new definition, leaving the reader to again conger those images of chains and shackles.

But what if we apply this new-feminist definition the the BobRs of the world? In western society the male is expected to earn a wage and take care of and protect females. Therefore, the male in western society is likewise FORCED into his decision to go to his job, however distasteful, or perhaps, even joining the military and getting shot at.

So in that way, yes, the feminists should consider BobR as a victim.

Why on earth would she lie about where she came from and how long she'd been there...it's not like the girls in the touristy areas spitting out bullshit about sick brothers and how mucgh they love you after a 20 second chat..you don't give the girls inthe upcountry places any cash at all..that's allocated at the mamasan's discretion..why would they bullshit?..there's jack all to gain from it..

[The Fresh Prince]

Where are these pics you promised?

[somtamslap]

Where are these pics you promised?

Hold on..I'm busy planning my next sortee...

Will pop some up eventually..

[Bangyai]

Where are these pics you promised?

They will probably be the victim of censorship so put your willy away because all you'll see is this :

oh come on man, this thread could be a killer with pics

[wefearourdespot]

There's a small soi in Udon that has a few houses where one can indulge in ....

Couldn't you be a little more specific ? Google Earth

[wefearourdespot]

So in that way, yes, the feminists should consider BobR as a victim.

yet they prefer to consider him just another wallet to ravage.

It wasn't that many years ago when women were considered property "chattel" in the western world.

Ahh the good old days
