PATTAYA: -- At 3.30am, on the morning of December 14, Pattaya police received reports that a woman had been abducted from a street in front of Champion Bar at Lan Poh Market, Jomtien.

 

At the scene investigators took a statement from twenty-seven year old Ms Pornnipa Masingha who claimed that her friend, thirty-year old Ms Pao, had been dragged into a van by five men who then sped off.

 

The van had a ‘school bus’ sticker and the license no. ฮก-3282 (Bangkok)

 

Pornippa told officers that the victim had been having a problem the owner of the bar she worked in and had said she wanted to leave her job.

 

In response the bar-owner threatened her with physical harm. After her shift she was abducted, according to the witness.

 

Officers immediately set up road blocks around the area but the van had disappeared.

 

Ms Pao has not been seen or heard from since and friends are worried for her safety.

Maybe she should have just walked away, instead of discussing leaving with her boss.

Jealousy perhaps ?

[alfalfa19]

I really hope she shows up unharmed.  But things don't look too good from what I'm reading.

If it's some sort of revenge I fear she might be dead, a human life is not valued much in Thailand.

Makes you think about how many bar girls are being forced to work... Threats of violence against them and their families by their owners/pimps/slave masters. I bet it usually start with a loan shark somewhere in isaan.

There are many reasons that girls end up working in bars in Thailand. Rarely a career of choice but some take to it enthusiastically while others suffer in silence.

I heard Rompho is down to  just a few bars  now...The person people thought was the owner apparently just  had a ten year lease...

Has the bar owner be questioned???

 

Me think it should be put to him if she does not turn up safe soon he is the no1 suspect.

Didn't Jomtien 2nd road only open about 6 years ago. I remember having to drive around the mud blockade on the motorbike  to drive on the unfinished road 7 years ago.

Have you ever actually spoken to a bargirl in Pattaya because you sure don't sound like it.

And now they are resurfacing the road from Soi 5 south a couple hundred meters; lots of bumper to bumper traffic most of the day. It does seem to be going at a faster rate than the original 7-12 years ago.

I stop by there from time to time. Quiet, and cheap beer prices. I like watching the F1 races there.

Unless the rent is cheap I don't see any of the bars at the back half of the complex remaining open.

I never see customers past the front two sections of bars.

Yes, that's right, there's many reasons. and many degrees and types of suffering. this is true. I wonder how many are coerced / forced. i guess there's like UN reports or similar on that to be found somewhere.

I'd rather not tell if i have :) thank you, 

 

What's your opinion? is the percentage of coerced/forced very low or very high? I don't know, I wonder though....

Very few if any are forced to work in bars. I've spoken to hundreds of them and cannot think of any that didn't have other choices had they wanted to take them.  If they do feel pressure it is from family members and those ones don't last a week. Living as a bargirl is not exactly a tough life. They get up late then head down to the bar to spend most shifts chatting with their friends there and being on their mobile. Beats being bored silly on the farm or working a real job. My girlfriend worked 12 years in a factory with a couple days off a month, 12 hour shifts and lived on site in a dormitory. Next in a chinese tour bus spa, again 12 hour shifts with 3 days off a month. There is no easier job in a country like this. As for any paid sex they don't have the same hang ups about it like some posters on here who were brainwashed in their youth about some nonexistent supreme being who frowned upon it.

There is plenty of slavery here but it is in the fishing industry so has no interest to the bible thumpers.

Is it possible that some of these girls start out being forced and then become willing participants once the initial trauma is over? 

Would you be able to tell the difference? I mean after the first couple of weeks they will submit to their new life of drinking and getting used as sex toys by disgusting old men almost every night. Easy job.

*edit* is it possible that you have been brainwashed by a bunch of pattaya punters that are justifying / rationalizing their actions until they finally cant hide from themselves anymore and jump off  a balcony from a cheap condo somewhere in the outskirts of sin city?

Yes farangs are scary. Wonder around any Thai town outside of resorts and you are looked upon as a freak.  This wears off once they get to know us. If not  the girl will refuse a few barfines and will leave on her own or be fired. Again, if you are looking for a crusade get after the fishing industry slavery.

Yeah, I think you may be right. I certainly hope you are :) 

I heard about the fishing industry. Sounds horrible.

 

Heard also about the more hidden sex for sale scene that the thai customers go to. Probably there's more shady shit going on there with trafficed girls (and boys?) there.

To be honest im still curious how many seemingly "normal" bargirls are forced/coecerced, i guess i need more solid proof than hearsay... Not sure where to find it though

Most,if not all bargirls know full well about the job before they take it on through friends/relatives who are already active and willing participants and they are happy to follow them as its much easier than doing a 12 hour stint with just 2 days off per month for a salary of say 8-10,000 baht/month.

Your comment "getting used as sex toys by disgusting old men almost every night" is laughable and shows a lack of knowledge,to be quite frank.

Being a 'dirty old man', I can confirm that there is a greater likelihood of me being used as a sex toy...............

[BruceMangosteen]

The barfine wasn't paid. She called her "brother" to come get her. Hopefully she's safe back home. The "bar owner" is only mad because no one bought her "out" of his/her bar. If he/she made loans to the lady tough doo doo. Part of the trade, take your loss and move along. Being allowed to tap into human trafficking without fear should be enough for you. Next time you might just find yourself charged with same. These pimps in Pattaya make me and many others sick. They don't want the violence and criminal charges associated with it all, only the "good" fortune some ladies bring them in the form of Baht. Lock em all up I say, all the pimps I mean of course.
