I think there is more ukranian hiding than there is russians. Russians just come on holiday and go back.

it would be interesting to see what would happen if a russian were to bump into a ukrainian out here, say in a bar or something?

 

i’d want a front row stool for that! 😄

I've lived with both and israeli on islands in the south, there is little going on about those subjects. Both sides are crooked, so better to just not talk it and be peaceful.

No interest in going to Australia, there’s enough of those eyesores here.

Perhaps you've missed the change in demographics, but I would guess 70% of the sex tourists today are East Asian.

 

The proverbial old, fat, bald farang is a dying breed, replaced by the increasingly chubby, 20ish to 40ish, face-for-radio, chain-smoking East Asian.

 

Those poor bargirls never get a break (unless Bob is feeling randy and is out and about).

Why not? I have friends who only come once a year in high season, so inevitable I go out more.

Yes of course, but that's not what the op was talking about.

Actually, no scooter.

 

Being a forward thinker, I did my Midlife Crisis in my 20s, with the Harley Fatboy and the Porsche Carrera (I even had a Rolex back then). Got it out of my system and cleared the deck for (hopefully) a dignified Middle Age.

Not superior knowledge, just something I notice.

 

In this moribund Thai economy, even the ruling leadership believes sex tourists add value. No doubt families all over Isaan feel the same way.

 

Live and let live.

funny. people in here chopping down bob yet he has you coming to his threads like cat nip. 

Bob, I'm trying to carry the water for you keeping your thread going strong.

 

Of all the serial thread starters, I find Bob mildly amusing. Some of the others (unnamed) less so.

oh the old they are poor rice farmers excuse!  Bar girls are just lazy and greedy there are plenty of employment opportunities apart from sex work. Sex tourists fuel crime, drug addiction, alcoholism, disease and depression. It's a myth these days that Issan is kept going by sex workers, it's not.

I think you do not have to worry about that, just check up the most drunk guy in every place sitting no more than 50 cm from the bell.

In the mrs very large Issan village none of the girls are known to have ended up on the game, relatives are bankers, teachers, pharmacists, government workers, working abroad, selling food or electricians, half have degrees, and not in cock sucking, lying or sleeping half the day either.

Congrats on the demographics of your Mrs' village. Sounds like they also attended a prep school like Phillips Andover or Choate. Bankers, eh? Maybe they were my colleagues at Goldman Sachs or my hedge funds?

 

My experience in Isaan, undoubtedly incorrect, differs markedly.

 

Post-Covid I have been in Sakaeo, Buriram and Ubon. Granted, that's not all of Isaan. Half finished structures everywhere, as bank loans disappeared during Covid. Jobs are unavailable. Even in Big C and Lotus', they are wildly overstaffed (staff sitting down chatting in the aisles) and need not hire anymore. Lots of drunk men and lazy young men demanding (you know, that filial piety thing) sis send them money from Pattaya or Bangkok. Many babies being cared for by grandmoms or great grandmoms, as birth mom is working in the big city. Women who became mothers at a tender age were forced out of school, and can't even get hired at 7-11, as a degree is required. Oh, and farm production is down, so prices have risen.

 

Some of my staff are from these cities and villages. Two differences I see between them and bargirls---whom my staff absolutely do not look down on. One is that my staff didn't get pregnant at 15 like some of their classmates. Another is that they don't have drunk uncles and neer-do-well brothers, nor gambling addict mothers, expecting to be supported by sisters, daughters or nieces working the chrome poles.

 

Being attractive, but having a family full of parasites, is bad enough. One act of youthful indiscretion---usually initiated by the boyfriend who subsequently does a runner---changes these women's lives forever. As a male, who am I to judge?

 

There but for the grace of Zeus.........

 

I now return control of this thread back to Bob.
