The sex trade will always have it's fans and defenders, mostly from those with a vested interest, or the customers. The customers of course are mostly pathetic unattractive sorts who have no choice but to pay for sex, then often justify it by claiming they are doing the girls a favour by helping to support them and their families. More likely they are supporting a pimp and her drug habit.

 

I see a huge market of robots. The advantage of them, you can turn them of, almost 0 maintenance and they want if you want. Having sex it is just too complicated. Even in a marriage it is sex trade, yo stay together with your partner cause he give your guarantees, or you have a lot of money for future live. Love? lol, you stay with you girl at the moment together because there is nothing better around at the moment.....

You just prove you know very little about it with that sort of claim. You are only supported by those that hold your conviction, and those that know the reality scorn such opinions.

I guess the country is making the most of its natural resources

Like many married men there are some single men that pay for sex that are pathetic.  In my experience most of the men I socialize with in Thailand  have never paid for sex in their lives until they have moved to Thailand.  Most bar girls if they like you will spend some time with you and after a few drinks (yes you pay) will ask if you would like to "bar fine them".  That means you will mostly pay the bar a fee for you to take them away and they will spend the night with you for a payment to be agreed upon (not like short time Western Girls). They will be your lover for the night or longer and mostly they are good at it.  If both are happy and there is no victim all is well.  If they are happy with the payment and enjoy the experience (important) and you are happy with the product they will be available all over again and soon.  often these events lead into long term relationships (sometimes?)  Yes as long as the money is available...so whats new in Western Society .  If there is no victim what's the problem.  Most of the girls are lovely, a few not so good...yes a bit like Western Society.  Hey what's wrong with this, pathetic or just part of life???

One of the dictionary meanings of Victim is "a person who is tricked or duped".

 

As in, tricked into believing hookers like you, enjoy the experience and are happy.

Most bar girls are there by choice as is the way in all aspects of life.  You should take good advice I received in my young days  "if you can't beat'em join 'em."   After you will feel much better.  I hope so???

Or tricked into believing the brainwashing and propaganda they carry around with them like a monkey on their back. It's sad.

Allthough what you say is reasonable the people you are addressing are falze moralists acting on articles of faith either ideological or religious. They are not rational. Reality threaten them. If its any consolation to to you they have small ugly minds and live in mental pain and delusion. They are the original bullies and hate filled puritans who lead plodding lives of dull mediocrity.

It all elementary...the rule in life is if you are nice to a person (a bar girl) it will most likely they will be nice back.  There are some people who are an exception to this rule, the puritans who contribute to this site are the most likely failures

in (Thailand) the bgirls and everyone else are always nice, until you have money in your pockets ...

so you have never bought a drink ? for a girl or took her someplace for day out  and paid for her ? getting to know her so you can get into bed later with her , this sounds like your way , some guys have been conned out of their life savings , sick buffolo , father is in hospital and needs funds , etc etc this kind of prostitution you have paid for many times i bet but you wont admit it . its still prostitution and you participated in it .

It is certainly worth more than what the industry generate in income annually. From the title I thought they were doing a IPO of love.

I can't see the word million in this TV English article! Perhaps in the Thai version?

By some miracle the proof-reader woke up and corrected the mistake in the original article, of course after I did his job for him by pointing out the mistake.

I think he was revering to a few who left, just to work in restaurants ... their families 

had no idea what is their real job.... Hairdresser is also a variant of working in restaurants.

Ahhh yes ...My dictionary tells my that the 1st meaning of the word "LOVE" is a strong or passionate affection for another person.  I suggest that money is a great incentive to achieve this outcome, everywhere.  The best things in life are "FREE" but you can pay for them if you like...that's life and TIT.  So what's different?

Edited February 21, 20188 yr by David Walden

Ah yes,  260 Billion,   good job Thailand.

And happy endings all round. 

I love Thailand.

 

 

 

pity this is such a limited article; how does this relate other countries? what is the impact on thai society? i wish journalists here would do more research, investigation and analysis when they report.

   Much of the time in Thailand the opportunities for female companionship is very easy to find for a farang.  Each day in Cha-am I go for a nice walk along the beach and around town usually 8/10 km to keep fit, lots of people to say G'day to.  If I'm still walking at 1pm I often stop at one of the many bars on the way and have a beer or 2 and really just talk to the owner or some of the bar girls or play pool, yes I buy the girls a drink ( life is tough?).  They are usually  good at playing pool and other things? 

 

   Every 2 or 3 days during my walk I buy fruit from a cart in the from a lovely lady on the beach.  She speaks good English she gives me a bit if stick, all in fun for not having a lady.  BS back and forth and lots of laughing.

 

   On my last visit she say to me " everyday I see you walk by yourself on the beach and no lady.  You like ladies"  I say  "yes".  She say " I have good friend make you happy you should have lady".   I tell the fruit lady  "I'm in love with you!"  she insists she is not available.  Much more BS back and forth again.  I say "I'm 76 y/o".  She say "don't matter lady look after you"...I have lots of male friend that believe sharing their mostly limited income with a Thai lady actually saves them money...yes.

 

    People in a nearby cafe having breakfast listening and laughing at our lovely exchange, my fruit lady speaks quite loud.  Yes I think of her as my fruit lady...I think I'll stop this story now because I don't want all you readers to get jealous.   My final comment is mostly if you are nice to Thai People the rewards can be "mind boggling" and yes it can cost you a little bit of money.  So what new.

 

If you come to Thailand to take and not give, then you are on the wrong track.  You don't need a lot of money to be happy in Thailand.

I have reconsidered my last comment, perhaps a few more happy farangs could be tolerated.
