A man called Prasit, aged 43, went to the Damrongdhama office in Kalasin, NE Thailand, yesterday to appeal for help for his sister Apinya, 41.

 

He wants the foreign affairs departments in Thailand to help her after she went to Dubai in the Middle East, reported Siam Rath.

 

A friend acting as an agent had invited Apinya to go to Dubai to work in traditional Thai massage.

 

But soon after her arrival on July 20th she contacted her brother to say that it was not massage she had to do but sex.

Along with several other woman she had travelled to Dubai at a cost of 130,000 baht to the agent. This money would need to be paid back.

 

Apinya told her brother over the Line app that she had refused to offer sex to customers and wanted to come home but had to pay the 130,000 baht.

 

He sent the money on July 10th so she could return but since then he had been unable to contact her at all.

So ????? 

You'd think the word would get out by now.  Unskilled females being lured abroad with the promise of riches are almost always going to be selling sex.  Sad to see lives ruined. 

Unfortunately this practice has been going on for years in the Middle East

Who has been scammed I wonder ? The women ? or her Brother who sent here 130,000 THB and not heard from her since ? Especially when it is generally known in the NE communities agents charge fees in the region of 40 to 60 k. Of course still a scam.

So much for the fiercely defended islamic values, while their women are walking around clad in head and full body covering they have no problems in allowing open prostitution in their countries...

So what's wrong with that ? It's their values not ours.

Prostitution is in every country.  Especially Dubai which is not all that Islamic when you consider the number of ex-pats that live and work there.

 

here s a thriving nightlife that you would not believe

I did read the tittle of the post but stopped right there, waste of time, where do they find these people, do they paid them to said so much stupidity or is it just to get attention

They go to Thailand hire ladyboys

This is such a common occurrence.  I hate to think what has become of this woman.  

'A friend acting as an agent ...'

 

With 'friends' like that ...

 

But I've noticed Thais often use the word 'friend' for people they hardly know.

Idiots... complete idiots.

Hey, sorry folks 99.9% of these Thai women who go to these places know what their job will be.  Same with Korea, Sri Lanka, etc.  They are not paying 130,000 b just to do massage on what is normally a 3 month contract.

She is 41 not a kid, I am sure she had talked to others who went and had a clue.

 

 

Is a 41 year old worth that much? Way past her prime in my book.

What is wrong with them having different values to yours ?  You think your own views and values are the ones the entire world should follow, are you that much of a bigot ?

It is horrible there, simply towers of concrete and multi-lane highways, and SOOO expensive. Been there several times as my sons are musos there. Horrible place.

the values only apply to those who follow Islam. If you are not Islamic in these countries you are not human and therefore can be used as  slaves and sex toys without breaking any law.

A friend of mine who did straight temple massage, was also lured by an agent. I spent 3 days trying to talk her out of it but she believed the agent... her husband also tried to talk her out of it but she was desperate to make some money.

 

I think she only had to repay the agent 40,000 as I sent her the money to come home unharmed... I sent her 70,000 so she would have enough for hotel and flight and taxi etc... and she probably told the massage shop that I sent her 70k and they then raised the price to 50k... that is how naive they can be...

 

she was 38 at the time and had been #1 in her HS class...

Hypocrisy thats why. 

Actually,   what she should have done is tell her boss lady she's going out to buy some lunch and then she should have headed straight for the Thai consulate ....

Firstly I have no interest in the Muslim faith and to me it ranks equally as bad as all so called faiths in this world.  All that has ever done is a create a world full of bigotry to one another. Having said that you clearly do not understand what being a Muslim means nor how they consider those that do not follow their faith. Therefore their values are completely different to yours in some areas perhaps, so it is not hypocrisy on their part at all.  Hypocrisy comes into play when you are ignorant of their values and think their values should be the same as ours. Just because you, others or Santa Claus consider the way they act as not in keeping with your values it does not mean they are contriving their own code of moral conduct when it involves sex with non Muslims. As much as you despise the way some of them act just consider that for most of them they think that for you to wipe your bum with your right hand, the hand you eat with, is equally as disgusting.
