Guys I read what you write and most of you say the same thing week after week and you live there. The place to me is a CP, but some of us have standards and others well lets say they live in pat and leave it at that. The reporter told it as it is.

Humpy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 So the only crooks here are Brits are they Daily Mirror ? We don't see many Thai girls drunk out of their skulls , puking in the gutters and stumbling from one bar to another carrying their shoes, with their boyfriends in tow, equally drunk , like we see the Brit slappers holidaying in the Spanish resorts ! Yet another Mirror 'reporter' with an in depth knowledge of life here in Thailand...not. What else can expect from this Daily Rag ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moe666 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 8 hours ago, Thian said: There are an estimated 2.8 million prostitutes in the country, with around 40,000 of them children who are forced into selling sex. I keep on hearing/reading this but have never seen it myself in Thailand. And those children must have parents who are Thai as well i assume. I just wished Thailand could clean it's name about childprostitution....my wife doesn't even dare to say she's Thai when in Europe. Stop reading what others say yes it is there but lot of it over blown. the number you quota is a bit over the top and always remember the larger number of sex workers service the Thai market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamyai3 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 6 hours ago, Mattd said: The UK gutter press drag up the same old stories about here every so often, got to sell the papers........ These pieces sit in the long term file, to be rolled out as soon as there's an opportunity provided by a recent news item. This time it's the arrest of the British fugitive Reece Vella, previously it was the shooting of Tony Kenway last year (including the boiler room angle), before that the bust of a gogo where a Brit was caught in a short time room upstairs - leading to a huge denial and cover up attempt by the authorities here, and a subsequent proliferation of further articles.

moe666 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The story says 2.5 million prostitutes but only counts 27,000 in pattaya, lets say about the same amount in Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai then only a little more than 100,000, long way from 2.5 million. You would wonder where they get their figures. These stories show up in various newspapers around the world but nothing changes. When one person is sending money home for 3 or more people working at 7/11 isn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prostitute's catering for overseas visitors and expats is only a small proportion of the prostitution industry, The majority are servicing the Thai population, Don't hold your breath for a crackdown anytime soon.

Faker than fake ! Actually, IMHO, this is only the figure about 'full time' prostitutes (bars, karaoke, massage), not counting the double or treble of 'occasionals' after-work ladies selling their charms, ...nor the many millions making money with prostitution: the family-members living from the money sent to home(!), 'mama sans' and (upcoming) pimps, husbands/boyfriends, owners of buildings (the crazy rents!), companies delivering drinks/ice, etc., etc., not to forget the 'friendly' police officers and other officials as blind as otters, but with deep pockets... Together, 'conservative' figures I've seen about 10 years ago showed, about 14 million persons in Thailand's main income was generated by prostitution. More real than real, I'm afraid. ...And sadder than sad! Edited January 10, 2018 by bangrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I read the article and I can't see anything actually true in it other than that there are prostitutes in LOS. England has plenty, so why go all the way to LOS to point out the bleeding obvious, but to twist it into something unrecognisable. from "With its idyllic beaches and crystal clear blue seas, Pattaya could be the definition of paradise." to "where women and girls are pimped for sex" it's just a litany of lies pretending to be journalism. They couldn't even get "Women in barely there outfits and skyscraper heels offer tourists massages" right. The scantily dressed are touting for gogos, not doing massages. Red top garbage at it's worst, but I'm sure the target audience will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the wowsers, who's hoping for a crackdown? The ladies provide a service for which they get paid. They, and their customers are usually happy with the arrangement. It's called capitalism.

reenatinnakor Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Off course if they included in the article that people that live in Pattaya don't ever go to Walking Street or frequent the bars it would not be as dramatic!I've lived here 3 years... Been to walking street about 5x I think. I do play various sports every day and eat quite well... But that's not very interesting at all for a newspaper.

Stop the exploitation and let them and their families starve? I would like the sneering farang women to come up with some suggestions occasionally! They ain't gonna starve. They'll just get regular jobs and make do. It's not as if every bargirl is making big bucks, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
