    are the girls unhappy though?
    In a sex trade as huge as Thailand has to think that all the girls are happily involved in it is naive.

    In fact I would say it's not so much naivety as men here that support the sex trade (as many of us do in one way or another) are deluding themselves so they don't fall off their moral high horse.

    Why the spite against this woman? Is it because she's western or because she's touched a nerve?

    I don't think anyone needs to be an expert on the sex trade to realise there are going to be unhappy girls working in it. I could have told you that when I was teenager, so don't play dumb.

    No, it's because she looks like a horse

    No I can't really agree that she has touched a nerve with me, but these dayz there are so many fucking doo gooders out there, shes had her 10 seconds of fame and she obviously doesnt realise that half those rescued will be back in the karoke bar before her droopy arse passes thru customs at swampy.

    I agree, she's misguided, but her heart's in the right place, and she may very have genuinely helped some of these girls. Worth commenting on how misguided she may be, but the vitriol she has received here suggests that some members are a little too upset she has highlighted a genuine problem in the country.

    Whilst they are nicely described as poor family's breadwinners it's also worth noting that some of these families spent all their money on booze and lotto tickets and then forced their daughters into the sex trade to pay back their debts.

    Unfortunately my friend these girls are a fact of life in Thailand and the lady in question although she may have good motives will not change the way the system works. Only the government could do that, but there is no willingness to do it.

    You don't think Thailand's sex trade which also involves a large amount of child prostitution is a problem Brit?

    Shocking.

    Agreed, minus the smiley.

    She may very well help take a couple of girls away from a sex trade they do not wish to be involved in though, and that's surely worthwhile.

    the problem is not in Thailand but in the eyes of the american religious right exaggerating facts to make money and justify their existence; bad things go on here just as they do in the west. but this "Has" nothing to with the bar girls or your previous points

    I should have been clearer with my point to explain I was talking about the Thailand sex trade in general.

    It's also worth noting that bars and brothels that cater to farang do also have underage girls working in them.

    Agreed, it was an exaggerated article.

    Why not? Bring up my points and explain why you think they are wrong, it's the usual way to debate a subject.

    So far we have had you calling a woman a horse repeatedly, questioning that any prostitutes in Thailand are unhappy and a quite silly comment which I think was intended to be insulting calling me a sex trade 'expert'. All a bit beneath you I think Gjbkk.

    It's a matter of degree, isn't it. Shall I save the bargirl with her cellphones, money sent back home etc., the starving kids, the AIDS orphans, the millions who will never see an education, etc. etc. etc.

    Since I cannot save them all, I'd better focus. Likely I will save none or very few. But wait, where can I get the most exposure for myself. Fuckin bitch is just in it to make herself feel better.

    Are you being serious now?

    I was offered a 17 yr old girl in a bar several months ago, and I am a farang.

    Never seen a news report on go go bars being raided for underage girls?

    Massage parlours too.

    If I was employed in the consrtruction business would that make me a "Slave of Constuction"?

    If I was a banker, would that make me a "Slave of the Financial Industry"?

    If I was a hockey player, would that make me a "Slave of the Sports Industry"?

    You get my point I believe.

    Now, if the members of the trade servicing any man or woman (they don't necessarily have to be fat and sunburned or just one or the other) is doing so while under restraint or some sort of captivity or contrary to their free choice then I would not categorize them as portrayed in this thread. If a chosen profession as a means of income is a prostitute rather than a 7 Eleven cashier, or a fast food vendor or some other profession than who is to say they are a slave?

    It could be argued that many people that help the needy are in it for themselves.

    Would you have called her a fucking bitch if she had taken some flower selling kids off the streets though, or even saved a few elephants from trudging around Bangkok?

    It seems to me like whenever people try to help those that are caught up in Thailand's sex trade there is a backlash of anger from people that don't want to accept or acknowledge that some of them do actually want / need help.
