Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 She must have learned from a family member or had experience already in the business, so sad either way. Seems that this type of work has become ingrained in society and is done by school girls, boys, college folks trying to pay their way and then ......well it is what it is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just how do they prove this ? A good lawyer is going to say it was a scam. Heck, sounds like a school project also. Just some techy girl having a bit of a laugh. Going to be hard to prove she actually sold or rented someone. I sure hope there aren't pictures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. It's not poverty. It's just earning money in an easy way. Money to buy the latest iPhone or other' necessary" things in young girl's life. Similar to students at university in Hostess Services. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they getting younger? Or is there only a higher awareness? When I arrived in Thailand in the 90th 16 year old girls were not unusual in the farang bars. And I am sure they were not unusual at all in Thai entertainment businesses. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Can anybody please explain when prostitution and pimping is considered to be human trafficking? At least for me human trafficking is something like smuggling humans over borders or something similar. Both crimes should be punished but as far as I see it they are different. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but how many times in wherever you came from have you read of 15 year olds offering a prostitute for hire business? And just yesterday there was another case of underage girls being offered for hire. Now, I wonder how Thailand got its worldwide reputation as a land of prostitutes......... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human trafficking is the catch phrase of the moment, that's all. Pimping is different, but call something more serious and it makes better headlines and might result in higher sentences.

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted March 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2022 Obviously it is sad when 15 year old girls do this. I think maybe we/society/politicians/... should think about why they do that. I guess they want to earn money. So what do they do with the money? How many of them do it because the mother is sick and in hospital and the little brother has nothing to eat. And how many do it i.e. to buy the newest phone or clothes or whatever teenagers do these days? Maybe it's time to educate those teenagers that having the newest phone and designer clothes is not important. But then, from whom do they learn that? Maybe from their parents or older siblings? Or on TikTok, etc.? I don't have a solution for all this but I find it strange under how much pressure kids (think) they are. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that this isn't despicable, but I'm one for labelling things accurately and avoiding sensationalism or manipulation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandiRona Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 She is a victim not perpetrator. Catch the ones around her who enabled this environment. Catching a 15 year old as madam will not make a difference. Enable and create more oppurtunities so that youth may able to find the right path not the easiest one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to read that to imagine it must be bad, really bad. I am sure many girls, even the underage girls, know exactly what they are doing. I know at that age they shouldn't do that and they have a limited perception of reality and the consequences. But if a 15 year old girl is willing to sell herself to make money then I wouldn't call that human trafficking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After she returned to Thailand she looked for the next opportunity to return to Korea to make more money - until she will be "rescued" again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same media/people would claim that companies that build factories in Thailand are 'exploiting" the workers. To them, if went to Thailand with an organization to give away other people's money and make people more dependent on handouts, you would be a hero. But if you came to Thailand and built a factory, hired people, taught them skills, paid them and made them less dependent on handouts, they would despise you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
