Wouldn't you care if they were engaging in illegal activity , like banging well underaged  girls ?

You'd need to specify the age of the girls involved ..........

Generally I'm not much concerned about illegal activities 'per se' as I'm not employed by the police, so it isn't my business.

You're the one obsessed with women, age and sex.

You dont know the difference between picking up a girl who actually wants to have sex for enjoyment as opposed to paying a prostitute from poverty that will likely be repulsed and is doing it only for cash?

Interesting comment!

No woman has ever wanted to have sex with me for enjoyment (and I honestly can't say I'm surprised by that decision).

And I've always let them choose me for paid sex, so there can't be that much repulsion involved.

 

Let me make a comparison .......

Beer isn't my first choice of alcoholic drink, but I can still drink it without vomiting, especially if someone else is paying for it.

I prefer chips with my meals, but if it comes with rice, I can choke it down.

Life is a series of compromises, where we live, how we earn money, the car we drive, who we bang, most of us just accept what's available, as settling for a bit less than what we actually want isn't really that big a deal for most of us.

Thanks for the interesting link.  I would have guessed at Spain and Portugal, and from UK friends also domestic UK.  If you add New York + USA the two together are 9% so just above Greece.

My guess is it is the majority, not the minority in these areas who have built the nice houses have married prostitutes.

And from the many I have come across over the years i have no doubt it is the majority.

Another of your over the top unfounded crass statements.

I laugh at this.

The farang didnt build the house for the Thai people from the goodness of his heart. He bought it because he was having sex with a much better looking and younger female that would not have a bar of him back in his own country. 

He is getting the sex, she is getting the house.

 

And if you think that the whole village and indeed country should be grateful and show respect for some elderly whoremonger you are in dream world.

Do you respect all the foreign men who marry the young prostitutes in your home country? Should your government give them favorable treatment to encourage more mongers to marry more young prostitutes?

 

I think the hundreds of thousands of jobs provided by Japanese companies is a much bigger contribution to Thailand than buying little lazy single mum tattoed Lek from Issan a house in an area that wont be worth much anyway as it is overcapitalised.

the demographics of Thailand are changing, as is the economy. Tourism  is hoped to comprise over 20% of GDP.

It is no longer the "preserve" of the West.

Brits and others came here to live "on the cheap" they resent the fact that Thailand is moving on and they are left behind - as said the British colonial attitudes make them think they can just use or take advantage of any country they see as "lower down the food chain" - sadly that is no longer the case.

Bye-bye British, hello Asia.

I would say there is a big difference.

But some, and many on this forum can not see the difference

I know the difference. And I used to pick up civilians. Later, I found it to be far more honest and simpler to do PFP. Most women here who charge for their services, are infinitely more honest and straight forward than alot of women back in the US. Alot less of a song and dance.

Thailand has been facing a decline in Western tourists for a decade now. There are a dozen good reasons why Westerners don't visit Thailand as much as they used to. I was recently in Phuket and I would estimate the population of foreigners was 40% Russian, 20% Arab, 20% Malaysian and Chinese, 15% Indian, and about 2% Westerners and a sprinkling of some others. It was a low end crowd. 

 

The sad truth is that Thailand is not doing anything to improve itself they are making absolutely no effort to tackle air quality environmental issues traffic congestion or any other problems plaguing the nation. It seems to be a combination of sloth lack of vision and extreme arrogance. 

Thailand is a first world country with a third world mentality

The USA overthrew the government of Ukraine and there's been nothing but mayham since, The USA have been doing this world wide using the CIA, and people have now had a guts full, protests world wide now and most media under severe control. 

This is the main narrative of Russian propaganda, which blames the United States for what happened in Ukraine in 2014. Because they cannot accept that Ukrainians (the majority) voted for the Western path of development and rapprochement with the European Union, and not the “Russian world” with the “Eurasian Union” (which is the brainchild of Putin). President Yanukovych won the elections in Ukraine precisely because he declared rapprochement with the West. But after receiving several billion dollars from Putin (which were eventually appropriated by them), he completely changed his rhetoric and abandoned the European path, announcing his imminent accession to the Eurasian Union. People in Ukraine were outraged by this treacherous betrayal and came out to protest. First of all, young people. And after the special services began to shoot protesters, an armed confrontation began and Yanukovych was evacuated to Russia. Russian propaganda continues to call the Ukrainian authorities a “junta,” but the fact is that it was the legally elected parliament that removed Yanukovych from power, and after that there were already 2 democratic presidential campaigns in the country.
And regarding this topic, over 10 years of regular trips to Thailand for 2-4 months, I can notice that not only the number of British, but also Europeans in general has decreased. Especially in Pattaya, where Little India is now in the city center, and on Walking Street there are more and more Indian clubs (although both establishments are somehow empty - after all, Indian tourists don’t seem to like sitting in bars or meeting Thai girls ( alone).

The way they act, most get turfed back home or go to jail! Great news!

And you say "Most" with what proof? I would say there are few compared to other nations, and a tiny percentage of the numbers that come as tourists and workers or retired here.

I know they like to say that they are first world, but I don't buy that. Certain sections of Bangkok are certainly comparable to first world, but once you get outside of three or four main cities, it's very third world on a lot of levels. 

 

Just look at the rail transport, the lack of cargo transport, the choked highways, the lack of law enforcement, traffic safety, there are so many factors.

That is interesting from somebody who endlessly writes on this forum how and why Thailand is NOT attracting High Quality tourists.

 

You are that caught up in it and their "honesty" that you can not see the bigger picture how that sex tourists are the least desirable of all and the general population see it as a shame and completely ugly.

 

You complain about Russian families and others while you are getting around with "P4P" 

The irony.

Why is it a third world country? It have better infrastructure throughout the whole country than many of those countries we come from. Very little true life endangered poverty as well.  

 

Thailand is a growing industrial country continue to grow

Yes, a lot of the girls in the poorer regions get sold for sex to tourists and sexpats.

I dont think they claim to be first world. They are and claim to be a "developing country"

Well just for the sake of playing devil's advocate, what do you think the average man really knows about his wife when he marries her in the West? Without actually hiring a private detective, how does he have any idea where she's been, who she's been with, how many lovers she's had, or whether or not she's ever been freelancing? No man really knows any of that stuff. They assume that their woman is pure as the driven snow and they desperately want to believe her when she says she's only had three lovers prior to him. I know that I've been out with women who have been with hundreds and hundreds of men, so is that that much different from a semi-pro here who's been with a couple of hundred men?

 

A lot of guys get hung up on the whole purity aspect of this whole thing, but there are an awful lot of women in the West that would qualify as being working gals, under a rather liberal definition. Are multiple dinners, cash gifts, and prizes really any different than an agreed to price?

 

Which one is more honest?

I don't use Twitter, and I don't like Twitter. But, there is some truth to that. Single mom or not. Applies to alot of Western women, who have absolutely no ability to identify with their innate femininity, which of course is the quality that most men find most appealing. Without that, what do they have really? Not much.
