having gone to thailand recently i met a lovely bar girl. she was genuine never demanded much and cried her heart out several times at what she does. she would say many times 'what can i do'
basically lack of education ,poor backgroud did not give her many options.
western girls have many one night stands,for what????? at least they get something out of it!

Dear Michael

Its truly great that you are so proud of your wife and there is no reason not to be but I hope, but dont think, that things will be that easy when it comes to explaining to your children that their mother had sex for money even though all western women do just that.

Good luck though

It's all social perceptions, BG's do not relate sex with love as most western women do. In fact most men don't relate sex with love either. Most BG's i have talked and shagged with pretty much have the same story. Left the home at a young age, worked in factory's for next to nothing and then they hear about girls they knew with rich farang boyfriends/husbands they met as a BG and now they can take better care of their families. To them it's just a job nothing more nothing less.
I have been to my girlfriends parents house in the NE, and they live in what amounts to a garage based on western standards.

well i think telling the children when there older is ok.we must remember things done in the past can't be undone i think most of us have done stupid things and later we think why did i do that.if the children are old enough to understand they will have respect for you telling them the truth.being honest with then is very inportant even if it may upset them when you tell them about there mothers past later they will know that your honesty was a hard thing to do but i think they will still love you and might teach them to always tell the truth and thats a hard thing for a thai lady to do.
