| 3rd November 2007 mataho | You go with me? - From: Bangkok: Wats, Sticky Rice, Massages. Glad you enjoyed BKK...one of my homes. In many cultures, especially the Thai culture, beauty is one avenue to money. This power takes many forms...unfortunately, in BKK, it is the power to make a lot of money (by selling sex) for otherwise poorly educated, unskilled poor women (often from the TH countryside). Women who are not 'suai mak' end up in massage shops, factories, or home working on the farm, etc., for very poor wages (100 to 200 baht/day maybe). The fact that many women in BKK are considered to be 'working' if they are with a male farang is just speculation. There are some areas though where, yes, it is a bit out of hand such as lower Sukumvit. But those folks don't bother anybody directly, right? Realistically, it is a very big city and many people just go about their lives, personal or public, without paying that much attention to what the other folks are doing. I am a midlde-aged American farang in BKK and I have a Thai girlfriend. Our lives are fairly normal. What other people think does not matter but it makes me uncomfortable when tourist sometimes stare at us when we go out . The main thing that's been hard to get used is how nice my GF is to me, much nicer than any American woman has ever been. Once again, thank you for a thoughtful blog entry. Where's the pictures...? |
