How do you know this to be true? Here on TV forum, probably, judging from the conversations. But this forum is a small sampling and attracts a certain kind of person willing to spend significant time here and even engage such conversations. I've read in government surveys that the % of women involved either directly or indirectly in Thailand's sex industry is somewhere between 1 1/2 % and 3% of the female population. I also read premise that 15% to 20% of Thai women have, at one point or another, been somehow involved in the tourist service industry, which may or may not been related to sex work. By either measure, the vast majority of Thai women are not nor have ever been prostitutes. Edited October 10, 2018 by YogaVeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back “home” I would be paying 40,000b per month, here in Thailand I pay 4,000b per month. So there’s 36,000 benefits. If you are paying 4,000b per month in thailand the room most be terrible . thais live for that money a month and I have seen them first hand and there are a joke of a place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most of what you say . but how can you trust a Survey in thailand? . i believe women in thailand not sure how many try out the sex Industry and not like it , but you read on Google thailand is one of the biggest sex industries in the world.

Sorry, but even in cities you can rent a room with bathroom for that price, and make it look nice. Of course, if there are more than 2 people living in a small room, that's another story.

Well, the first thing I do is look to credible sources then try to determine a bias. In the case of the studies I looked at on this matter, they were government STD info sites. They had large sampling and were done with people who were dealing with HIV infection, fighting for their lives. Gives the data some credibility imho.

You would far more interesting and relevant to just focus on the topic. We both know you are baiting, but you read it wrong. The conversations I was referring to (not this one) are those of heartbreak and sob story by farangs in relationships with sex workers, and it was a relevant comment to the prior conversation. You seem to be accusing me of taking a holier-than-tho attitude about all conversations on TV, which isn't the case. This is a decent valid thread. I don't engage in bar girl or prostitution threads (tho sometimes skim them for amusement) as that isn't a world I choose to live in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
