http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Thailand

Reasons why it exists

Prostitution in Thailand exists because of several factors, but its primary economic cause was the lack of employment opportunities for large numbers of uneducated rural women, particularly during the period of the Vietnam war when a large number of US troops passed through Thailand.

Another reason contributing to this issue is that ordinary Thais deem themselves tolerant of other people, especially those who they perceive as downtrodden. This acceptance has allowed prostitution to flourish without much of the extreme social stigma found as in other countries.

However, the most important reason for prostitution being a lasting industry in Thailand is that many Thai men of all levels of society,..., actively protect and promote the sex industry, the latter through entertainment-related media and activities.

------------------

Just because it happens doesnt mean it is enevitable. This woman has educaton, she can work elsewhere without lowering the status of herself and this country. Imagine if you had a loog krung. Would you be happy to let her follow this Thai 'custom'. I suspect many here are married or living with (ex) prostitutes. I hope they have stopped selling their bodies, and would you be happy for her to make some money on the side via a webcam?. Im really shocked quite how many posters here are quite happy to see the sex industry here remain as large as it is. For the OP, i probably would have approached it a bit more subtly, but sounds like he had the backing of the 'high-so' aunt.

rule number one for many: cut off the money supply and see what she does...

A - become a freakin biyatch

or

B - become 'nicer' to you

although sometimes this leads to a freakin biyatch who is nice to you

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand is number 1 in the rank... what does this mean, are they the top outgoing link? or the top 'visitor' ?

ta

Most of my relatives ARE 'European'

Self determinism and national rule are things of the past.

Lets let the fat cats control not one country but a super state! look how well it works in the USA!

Why not merge the USD with Latin American Currencies?? Then we just have a few trading blocks, peace, harmony, and one world financial dictatorship! hurrah!

Hang on, the EU has to bail out Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and all those crappy countries that sponge the EU's wealth...

Just sweeping it under the carpet at the moment.

Viva el Poundo! Death to the bankrolled FX traders pushing buttons!

contract in Africa.

Data center for bank(s), ideally i would like to find a medium sized Thai company. Or farang expert who can win the tender, and source staff from Thailand to work in Africa. Im not relying on Thai Visa, but I have had many PM's regarding the actual networking work, unfortunately i was not aware that the contract involves more than just connecting switches etc.

why Thailand? cheap labour, and skilled staff.

I felt sure the lure of cash would interest Thai companies, but for a strange reason they are scared of Africa.

cheers

I use "YOKI" powder. very good. Thai product.

hmm.. mine is normal thai chick

half north/half south

oh well

I have a friend with a small factory that produces very cheap items, with high markup when sold abroad.

I dont have the skill or time to photograph the 300 items in the range.

I DO have the skill and time to setup an ecommerce website to advertise these items. I live out by the old Global House in Chiang Mai.

Any Chiang Mai local interested in photographing these things, and we can split any generated income 50/50?

thanks!!!

i should add, these items are about an inch high... ie: the whole range can be carried easily...

Wish they had farang sized second hand shops here.

In 1969 my father would rent me a horse on Pattaya beach for 5 baht an hour and I'd ride it all over, alone and across the street to our little bungalow 2 blocks from the beach - at he age of 8 .

Imagine doing that now.

Well, the only thing that's changed is the price and the type of rental.

PMSL!!! HAHAHAA!
