Well, if you had not been such a Cheap Charlie, her kid could have gone to Harvard....????????

This. 4000%.

Papa in the village was way more interested in putting that nasty 35% interest loan/mortgage on the land so he could acquire on finance that red flashy colored Toyota Hilux 4x4 sub-SUV so he could parade in the village trying to impress other villagers a day or two rather than getting a standard 6% loan and use the money to send his daughters to Bangkok University then eventually onwards to Harvard.

So now that the daughters are all grown up, well... they have to spread their legs in Bangkok in order to repay that nasty 35% finance.

I'm telling you, this country won't change for another 50 years at the very least and we won't even be here to see it.

It needs a mentality reset and those 1% who are in charge, at the top of the ladder are NOT interested in any changes whatsoever.

This is Thailand.

They are mostly sex addicts....only fans will only last so long, but those babes are "damaged" for live and need sex for approbation.  

And sex is what we're paying them for and it is what we're getting. Nothing else.

Listening to them, falling in for their scams, falling in "love" with them, being infatuated with any of them, being introduced to their families or children they have from a previous (Thai) husband, buying them land, building them a house or a flashy new car, all these things are a dire mistake.

It always end the same way: lots of tears and a very empty wallet/bank account.

Pay them for sex, have a good time and move on. Most of these girls are sex addicts, alcohol addicts, have mental issues and are "damaged" beyond repair anyway.

I feel more sorry for you at the moment.

Nice way to avoid and deflect the contents of the post instead of adressing it properly, personal attacks are not a sign of intelligence.

I think I'm done with you.

Very often circumstances, born into poverty, being responsible for elderly parents and grandparents, don't lend themselves to choosing a different career path as easily as you make it sound. Thailand is not a place where opportunity abounds for those on the lower end of the socio economic scale. I wish there was opportunity for education and meaningful careers for these ladies but reality sometimes doesn't match hopes.

Complete rubbish, what you're referring to was true twenty years ago but it is no longer current.

It all comes down to education.

In my wife's village there are two houses from the same family right next to each other.

In one family the parents have bought all of their three kids some cheap Android smartphones, installed a WiFi router and let their kids staring at their smartphones nearly 24/7 so they don't have to teach them anything or take care of their kids; let alone educate them or teach them the basics manners on how to behave in society.

As a result; the kids grades are bad, their attitude are terrible, they consider their smartphones to be their best friends, they never leave the house anymore (plugged to the mains and in range of the WiFi router) they barely socialize with anyone anymore in the village.

Then in contrast; the other side of the family in the next house with 3 kids as well has in-house rules of "1 hour of smartphone per day and educational content only", these kids are going places; they spend a lot of time reading books both online and actual books, the old paper fashioned way; they have improved their school grades and now are a year in advance and about to skip a class.

Basically what I'm trying to say here is that it ALL comes down to education.

I have personally seen and met impoverished Thai families with both parents Father and Mother being quite happy sending their daughters to work in the adult industry in Bangkok or wherever knowing full well what it entailed and what their activities would be.

Once you have lived there for years and after having seen, heard and witnessed so much, you lose any pity for most of these families; they know exactly what they're doing, how they're doing it and why they are doing it the way they are.

I don't feel sorry for them anymore; ultimately YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

We are in the 2020's, the sex industry from places like Pattaya, Phuket, Patong, etc have been booming since the mid 80's, they all had 40 years to improve, change, evolve, grow out of the sex trade industry, reinvent themselves and so forth; what have they been doing since? Absolutely NOTHING.

Nothing will ever change in Thailand due to greed+lazyness+Buddhist mentality and should any change occur, it will take another 50 years for it to happen, neither you or I will be here to see any of the presumable changes.

As long as Fathers up in Issan will keep putting credits/loans/mortgages on the very little they have (usually land) so they can buy on credit/finance that new flashy Toyota Hilux 4x4 sub-SUV to brag/boast around in the village blasting lame folklore Thai music all day around instead of spending that money towards educating their kids sending them to a proper school in the nearest medium sized town then sending their kids to University; NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.

I'm done with being sorry for these Thai families, I'm done with being sorry for these Thai bar girls who have DELIBERATELY CHOSEN this career path instead of putting just a little effort in improving their lives.

I don't see the problem. Everything is moving online anyway. 

Including prostitution. Just get the clients online. More money in your pockets. Less hassle. Improved schedule. 

Webcam with the suckers overseas. Have onlyfans. If these ex bar girls have some brains soon enough they will start making so much money they will giggle at their old workplace and salary. 

One could argue that if they REALLY had some brains, they would have chosen a different career path to begin with. But that's just me.

I gather that the Big Cheeses are meeting again tomorrow to discuss what to do next. The piece I read said the idea is that certain restrictions may be loosened to allow a few people to get back to work, like allowing some shops in malls to reopen. With Delta rampaging through the population, though, that doesn't sound sensible to me, and I have a suspicion that instead of loosening things we might see further tightening tomorrow. The one big thing they did in April/May last year that they haven't done this time around was to ban the sale of alcohol for a month or more. Are there any feelings/views/informed sources out there suggesting what will happen next, will they loosen or tighten our Covid bonds?

Millions of lives are being destroyed as we speak, entire families are falling into extreme poverty and people are dying in droves worldwide and yet, all you seem to care about is the "sale of alcohol"?

You have interesting "priorities" my friend...

Annnnnnnnnd... there goes your sandbox grand opening.

Only a matter of seconds until Anutin and his cronies start blaming it on the "dirty falang" again... 3.... 2... 1...

No one told the government that "D" stood for disaster.

That's all the Junta and the self-elected coup leader PM will ever be remembered for.

A disaster.
