JeremyBowskill Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Whenever I see stories like this it reminds me of the political party named "Thai Rak Thai". Couldn't be further from the truth really, could it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The stuttering parrot Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Wonder why they don't parade the corrupt officers from the soapy massage rage? After all they are now inactive so they have plenty of time on their hands for a photo op! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halloween Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Whenever I see stories like this it reminds me of the political party named "Thai Rak Thai". Couldn't be further from the truth really, could it! In TRT, 'rak' was a euphemism for the physical expression, in place of a word not used in polite company. And yes, it happens a lot.

LostTourist Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It good to read that some of the ladies were able to get out of that bad situation and back to Thailand. But what is sad it that Wichuda Channarong is not the only person in Thailand that lacks any form of moral fortitude, she is just a small fish in a massive Thai ocean of sharks that are feeding off this type of sex slavery and human trafficking. You will never she the big bosses getting dragged off to court. Welcome to the amazing Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halloween Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It seems the big problem was that they weren't paying the B300,000/month. If it was a genuine offer, there would be no shortage of takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTIRIOS Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 ...why did you intentionally leave out 'Thai' in the headline....??? ...so that we can continue to pretend all these scammers and prostitutes are 'victims'...of foreigners.??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxo1947 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Give her 20 years the fat whale needs a prison diet. what a lowlife. Should we give her a trial first "shirtless" before the 20 years........??.........just to see if she's actually guilty.....or would that be stretching your Humanism to far.........I do get your other point though---overweight' bound to be guilty ....................

peterb17 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The true wonderfulness of TV. All terribly amusing - maybe this woman was actually trafficking young women and forcing them into prostitution - it happens all the time. So if she is arrested- good- might save a few guillable girls in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to save them is to babysit them like in the west and let them live on social welfare money without the means of travelling further than the corner store for a bit of food and alchool.

sead Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 All thais should be forced to contact their embassy once every month in countries that they know this is a problem. A simple solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Record Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It seems the big problem was that they weren't paying the B300,000/month. If it was a genuine offer, there would be no shortage of takers. If it was good money all the places would be taken by white girls from our home countries. There was never a shortage of non Asian women in Japan looking to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this is the way it works- to promise a reasonable salary to someone of probably very little education- how do they know it's not the going rate for a nanny. Is it greed? No - a chance to get out of poverty and provide for their families . Then passport taken away, beaten , threatened, drugged, family back home threatened. Servicing 30, 40 guys a day. Of course TV members ( 95%) seem quite content with using prostitutes- why do you like Thailand? - cheap women of course If the whole concept that women are just receptacles for pleasure goes away , then things may move on and then young women may not be trafficked.

nausea Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 And these ladies don't know what they're going into, yeah, sure. The Farang sex industry in Thailand is totally different from the local Asian sex trade. Every girl is a volunteer, and can get out anytime she wants. Most stay cos it's good money, and it beats working on the farm, and it's, well, fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason you feel that you are superior to thais is because those people put in the social prison of welfare back home are the same as the ones let loose in thailand that you feel are stupid. Yet here they manage to survive by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
