What she explained that Cambodia and Thailand are very connected to each other, many people go to Thailand to work. That can be any type of work, but most of the time those works are in karaoke bars or massages.</p>\n<p>In fact many girls from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are being sold into Thailand, to work as a sex slave, because Thailand is also known as the biggest sex industry countries. Which is not only done by western man, but more by Chinese, Koreans, Japanese or from India.</p>\n<p>So if you ask me, Thailand should work on corruption, and stop the sex industry, what was a creation by the wars in South East Asia in the last 60 years. If the French and the British left South East Asia alone, then Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam would never been in the state of how they are now. There for the West should support South East Asia, because they created the drama there in the first place.</p>\n<p>The difference between the rich and the poor is huge, that even parents will sell their children to traffickers, who sell those young people to Thailand, or to support woman and girls, that they don't need to search for a Western man, to get a better life.</p>\n<p>Here in the Netherlands iv seen many times a old guy with a young Thai or Cambodia woman, who brought her here to the Netherlands. And my woman had supported different woman with there rights, after they got married, because they were abused by there husbands.</p>\n<p>That saying, i don't mean that every guy is doing that with a Thai woman, but the fact that some woman are searching a Western man for a better life, says more than enough about Thailand, and every Thai knows it happens lot.</p>\n<p>While nobody should be separated from their families to find a better life, the people in the West could also support projects in Thailand, or invest in Thailand to make sure that the economy in Thailand would not force anyone to married anyone, or to force someone to work in a karaoke bar.</p>\n<p>The ones who think that the girls in Karaoke bars are there for the fun, have no background or information about how those girls start to work there, and those stories are very disturbed to hear.</p>\n<p>That young Cambodian girls are tricked to work in Thailand, and then get sold to Karaoke bars, were they are forced to sleep with costumers. That information is not openly spread here in the West, because tourism is important for the economy. </p>\n<p>While the real engine behind the night scene in Thailand has a very dark source.<br>\nAnd this is not from what i think, no there are family members of my woman who when to work there, and some even died there, they all got tricked to work in Thailand.</p>\n<p>That saying people need to realize that every girl you see in the bars of Thailand, do not work there for fun, they are either forced by others or forced by circumstances. Even young boys are forced to do what ever others want, and because there is a huge sex industry tourism, are girls from nearby countries sold and brought to Thailand.</p>\n<p>So what do i know about Thailand, well because i did research into Cambodia, did i also discover that Thailand was part of the Khmer empire. But history created both countries and since then are both countries occupied by colonization and wars. And the effects of everything in that region that poverty spread around like a disease and force people to do terrible things, like selling their own body.</p>\n<p>That saying before i met my woman i always heard about Thailand, sex this and beaches that, and sweet food this, and cheap that. Until i met my woman, who grew up in the Netherlands BTW, then i came in the Cambodian community and also saw the Thai community here in the Netherlands. </p>\n<p>Then i heard those inside stories or i saw those old man with young girls on parties, and then my vision about changed.</p>\n<p>And im convinced it should be different, the white elephant should be free and not imprisoned because of what happen in the past! That is South East Asia in a nutshell, how those countries are right now has nothing to do with the culture, and more with rebuilding what the past almost destroyed! That's what i think about Thailand!</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3xqevztx","appParentAuthor":"sisaket","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
