Bangkok: "If it's not nice, it doesn't exist."

United Nations estimates that 60% of all males arriving at the Bangkok airport are here for the "sex industry".

Thai culture says, "if it's not nice, it doesn't exist." Therefore, prostitution doesn't exist. Therfore the government does not supply protection against sexually transmitted deseases. Therefore women (and men) don't protect themselves, because if a nice girl were caught with a condom in her purse, she would be a bad girl.

Because prostitution doesn't exist.


Prostitution is considered "a man's right" in Thailand. Women don't marry because Thai men are lazy, and violent. they are also unfaithful to their wives because of a very popular Thai saying: "What happens under the mosquito net, stays under the mosquito net." Meaning, a man NEVER shows his wife affection unless they are in their bed, under the mosquito net. And he would NEVER bring another woman under their mosquito net....

The flip side of that, however, is that a man can be with any woman outside of their mosquito net and not be unfaithful to his wife...

thair women are expected to provide "sexual favors" to their boss or important businessmen who are visiting the company. A woman's job depends on what she is willing to do.

"Drive-In Sex" via taxi is also very popular in Thailand. If someone (preferably a man) were to get in a taxi, the first the the driver says to him is, "Sex?" If he answer "yes", he will have a girl in the car within two minutes, then he will go to a place, sort of like a garage, and park the taxi, the man will pay the curtain boy to close the curtain on the garage, the man will then get what he wants, pay the girl, pay the taxi driver a standing fee, then pay the meter. The girl will get out, the man will go on his way, and then you whistle down the same taxi, get in and go to the airport.

It all happens under the curtain.


One prostitue, when asked if she feared for her life, responded with:
I long to die. If I was killed and went to Hell, it would be better than this."



You can't judge these girls. None of them want to be there. They were either tricked, trafficked, or their families demanded them to go work in the bars, in order to send money home to support their parents. A lot of these girls were abandoned by their husbands who decided that they were too old and had too many kids. He wanted someone younger. These girls have no where to go, and there is a family loyalty that is slightly disturbing... When it gets to the point of self-abuse to please your mother...


I'm not sure what you may do with this information, as I am not sure what I am going to do with it. I've visited some of these places, and also gone to some boy bars, and lady-boy bars, to talk to the men there... But PLEASE, pray for the nation of thailand!
