Aspiring Thai flight attendants, too old, short, brown or fat? Come to America instead!

Yeah it's so much better to keep a fake picture of 'beauty is all that matters' alive with half competent staff that can't even speak clear announcements. Nice eye candy for a unsustainable future. The irony is that they are booted out themselves by the time they hit 33 except very few becoming managers.

 

But nobody ever wonders or mentions that part right, where do all those girls end up working at.

I'm not against Christians in general but those people who come to Thailand and prey on the hill tribes really bother me.

Right so you rather would see nobody caring at all about them, as is the case without those christians doing at least something?

Those people don't have a written language or formalized religion so they're easy targets. I am however surprised they were receptive to foreigners telling them anything because they're incredibly inward looking and standoffish people. 

            Sure but it's not that simple. The American I mentioned was employed by one of the world's biggest / very high profile children's charities, formed / financed controlled by a Mainstream big name Christian church based in California.

 

Seems that the have very successful methods to gain the attention / confidence of Children, and an early item is learning  (with a lot of fun) to read English, then comprehend then speak read and write English and learn to read and comprehend the bible. 

 

At the same time families have their accommodation, food, clothing, transport upgraded, so they get to respect and follow the missionaries, and work together with the missionaries.

indeed it sounds very predatory. I would entirely ban these people from operating within Thailand. I have no idea why it's permitted in a country which is so strict with foreigners.

It's a phase of life. They do the work and they move on. A good friend of my wife was a flight attendant. She did the time and then moved on like the rest of them. Many jobs are like this.

 

Same thing with Americans demanding minimal wage jobs like McDonalds pay a "living wage" when these were always intended to be temporary jobs for students and teenagers.

I know these people very well actually and pass through their villages often. Nothing has changed in the 20 years I've been observing them.

 

They're in another world from the rest of us. Nothing any of us can do can change these people and I don't think we should be interfering with them. They're slowly going to fade out as their women marry out of the culture and their kids move to the cities. Just how it is.
