prostitution has very little to do with poverty in THAILAND.
IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CULTURE,the way it is condoned by the parents and relatives who ignore, or hide, the source of their income (prostituting their daughters); the attitude that WEALTH, not the way you came by it, is the most important thing in life.
their culture, and the "face thing" is what makes this all possible
the odd sex-tourist who happily, (or gratefully) takes on a slagdog that even a thai wouldn't touch, I think, doesnt even start to scratch the surface

Since bucketbound isn't around to hold up her end, I'll post something to support her angle:
Yeah, well...I see some very good points here but they aren't really right or good because women are still suffering and stuff. It all is just so bad, with kids and trafficing, and the parents making them do it and blah blah blah blah blah blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blah
agreed, but if YOU were some nubile young underage delicacy, would you happily allow your family to sell off your virginity to the highest bidder, as often happens (i have been made this offer many times in the villages,AND in bangkok)
i still say all the sex-trade/slavery shit has more to do with the culture than it has to do with poverty or willing german tourists.
Since bucketbound isn't around to hold up her end, will someone post something to support her bullshit angle?
and as expected the OP , aptly aided by lily have managed to keep the perceived topic of prostitution in Thailand firmly within the realm of ex pats and bar girls ,
well done , you've managed to negate any talk of the real problem regarding the world oldest profession in Thailand , aka the sector that makes up the considerable majority of the industry .
I'm sure your sisters , especially those who are directly effected by the malaise are very happy .
FOOLS
Does Australia have 'desperate poverty'?Originally Posted by Lily
Loads of brothels there. But, it seems their reason to be is Australian women according to a documentary I recently watched.

Aussie women scare me.
I saw one once bash the head in of a camp dog that had attacked her chickens. She'd already winged it and used a rock instead of another bullet to seal the deal.
Her eyes were bulging and she was salivating - the woman not the dog.
You know what..that was really not called for. I see I really did offend people on this thread, even though the article may not be what I think. so much for discussion. I'm out of here. I am proud of who I am, and this has nothing to do with me.
Bye bye.
Great modding too.
cya.

What happened?
I think she is too dumb to figure out how to report a post that she found offensive.Originally Posted by Milkman
Actually, I think the rest of us found it more offensive, but there you go...
MTD - well you could fix it for the sake of membership.

^Ahhh ok, thought you could - never the less if some MOD could - I think it would be appreciative all the way around.

How many middle and upper class Thais sell their underaged daughters into the sex trade? Certainly Thais love money, but sexually exploiting their own children for monetary gain seems to be directly related to financial hardship. I have no direct evidence of this, but I've never met a hooker whose father was a doctor, lawyer or accountant.
That's what I figured after reading the OP, a Canadian tree-hugger chick who's gonna save the world from all evils.
Phuket Bound, you make me look bad, and your rosy views of how the world should be are ludicrous. Grrow up and get a real job and quit being a pansy. You make me look bad, being a Canadian myself.
If you move to Phuket, do yourself a favour and stay in your flat and get a chauffeur to take you to your school. Leave the rest of us to the real world. (Hope you ain't gonna be teaching any TD member kids -- they'll kick your a** back into the Arctic.) Better yet, why not go teach in Tuktoyuktok. They got lots of native women prostituting themselves up there.
Oh, and FO, Lily. You're as stupid as the OP.
