We lived i...Thanks George for sending this to us.<br /> <br />We lived in Bangkok for 15 years and as part of my work I got to understand the complex sex business in Thailand.It is very complicated if not complex. <br /> <br />Most of the sex workers in Thailand are not sex slaves. This does not make anything better as a result. Prostitution is a demeaning occupation.<br /> <br />Highly organized businesses are enslaving women from Burma and Cambodia. There is true enslavement there. With my Thai friends we visited brothels in Chiang Mai to see Burmese girls who cannot speak Thai but who serve Thai men. Their rate of HIV/AIDS infection is much higher than among Thai women. There are several thousand Cambodian women working as sex workers in Thailand. Many are enslaved.<br /> <br />Many Thai women who are sex workers practice free of pimps. However they are usually from poor families. A number do well financially. Others get caught up with addictions to alchol, cigarettes and more. <br /> <br />The sex trade can be found in every city and town. It is as available as is a beauty salon. <br /> <br />A number of evangelical foreign groups have come to rescue these women. All fail because they do not understand anything. <br /> <br />I look fwd to seeing the play<br /> <br /> <br />JakeGeo.Epphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722142979716416551noreply@blogger.com
