Formally known as Chinese Goose Berries. But they had to drop the "Goose" as the Aussie had that phrase coined in their national vernacular around sexual activity and general post contributors. The "berries" part who knows....Chuck?

You're not a dog person, are you?

 

So help me out here...  How is getting the monkeys to climb for coconuts any worse than riding a horse, or having a buffalo pull a plow, or making a dog sniff tourists for drugs?

Is that it? Surely after 200 years of rivalry you could come up with something a little bit more original.

Good try but berries grow on trees that's why they are called berries?

You got me wrong, this is not my decision this is the decision of western supermarket shops 

I guess you don't understand, I do love sniffer dogs without them we will be lost.

Is it still human trafficking if they're queuing up for the opportunity for a better life than they had back home?  With an opportunity to remit some each month to help out the family in the old country?

 

That very much depends on the working conditions of the host country...

And where is the Army? These boys should be out there, relentlessly sealing the Kingdom's borders, not making money...

Every Kiwi's dream, the "girls" come to town. I'll bet that not many of them went back home as virgins.

Just have a title of 'Thailands porous borders ". Everything flows from that .will never change. Just look at the map

Nothing to do with the map, everything to do with border guards and brown envelopes.

$200,000,000 per season. Very racist treatment... perhaps he should divert some of that funding to these poor buggers that have to risk life and limb being trafficked into another country just to earn a bloody crust for their family. Sorry I digress. Thai enablers is the key statement here. Most of the people trafficked illegally from any of Thailand's porous border nations were enabled by corrupt officials. Those worthless, oxygen thieving souls need to be held accountable for the current, obviously rapidly accelerating outbreak of Covid. 

and don't forget the Unelected "PM" and his soldiers for allowing it.

That's only partially true...  When was the last time you heard of a container full of Vietnamese immigrants suffocating in Thailand?

 

My point is that, if they happily signed on for a 250 baht a day job, and they arrive and get paid 250 baht a day, are they being abused?  

 

Trafficked?  Sure...  By today's definition, they are being carted from one place to another.  Exploited?  Maybe.  250 baht is below the legal minimum wage.  But it's probably a lot better than they could make back home.

 

But if they receive exactly what they signed up for?

 

The other interesting thing is the hypocrites that think nothing of hopping on a "trafficked" Isaan girl who whores herself out because that's the best income opportunity she may have.  But they'll stand up for the poor, trafficked Burmese and Laotians laborers.

Yeah,  I saw that.  But it seems to me that giving the monkeys something to do is a lot like me throwing the tennis ball for my dog to fetch.  Or having her fetch the ducks.  Otherwise, the lay around all day and look pretty bored.

 

To even explain that to them is shocking . The joke was ruined on them . I’ll bet they are a bag of laughs on a night out .
