Peterw42 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 My observations would tend to agree with the article, even in my jomtien condo block. Its not uncommon to now see Chinese families and groups of single Chinese girls , not on package tours but doing their own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Maybe They just feel like being at home under the Prayuth censorship era. There is a deep crisis its just those who believe what they read from the dungbeatles know no difference.

Regardless of TATs opinion, ( which we all suspect to be made up and based on imaginary unicorn poop), the lovely girls, selling their wares (or worns, in some cases) are still foresquare in everyone else’s perception of Thailand... other than China, it appears, who are now throwing their women into the cauldron.... good o ya china, I appreciate it ???

Thailand offered it to them, and anyone else who would pay Americans and Europeans are always blamed. The truth is the Thai sex industry is home grown, as history makes clear, and still primarily services Thai men. Sex tourists are, and always have been, just the icing on the cake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janner1 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Shortage of men in China, one child policy was a disaster. Considering the long held practice of knocking off the girl child at birth in China one hardly thinks that there is a shortage of men, in fact the last count revealed that the discrepancy was around 3 men to 1 woman because of the one child policy, which now as you say, even the Chinese government has admitted was a monumental disaster and have now taken steps to remedy. So now those Chinese who are married will very soon double or treble the child count in the family and the overall 1.3 billion population of China will very quickly supersede that of the 1.6 billion population of India.

owl sees all Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Are these Chinese girls looking for farang boyfriends or even husbands?

newnative Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Anyone half observant will know that there are lots of young Chinese women traveling in groups of 2 to 5 or more touring Pattaya. And, of course, Chinese families, as well. The Chinese are keeping Pattaya busy year-round. And, just 9% have passports so the numbers can only go up.

xylophone Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 21 hours ago, webfact said: "I chose to come to Thailand because it's close by, there are many flights, it's cheap to travel and easy to get a visa," 21 hours ago, webfact said: A Big C supermarket near the Erawan shrine buzzes with Chinese tourists who fill their trolleys with bulk packets Tom Yum Goong flavoured instant noodles, crispy seaweed and dried squid snacks. Have seen an increase in single Chinese women here in Patong, some of them very pretty, and believe it or not, beside the shopping, some of them do like to visit the go-go bars to have an ogle at the hooters on display, not to mention drinking in the occasional music bar. Having said that the second quote above is also true, but I really don't think that the purchasing of crispy seaweed and dried squid snacks is going to do a huge amount to help the Thai economy. Not only that, the number of shopping trolleys full of this stuff has decreased quite markedly and now there are just plastic bags full, so easier to pack and take home. If the hotel association thinks that this Chinese tourist boom is going to fill its coffers, although certainly some of them do stay at the higher priced hotels, they will have to think again because the practice of putting Chinese tourists in condos and apartments for short stays is rife, despite the law forbidding this.
