Secrets of Thai bar girl pay revealed

candide says:

Seems a pretty horrible way to spend one's life
(for any girl) . Why do Thai girls go through such agony? Can't they REALLY find some other way of earning a living?

Ladies in poorer countries than Thailand (Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Sri Lanka, Indonesia ) don't appear to have such an agonizing existence .

Why do Thai girls do it?

Grimreaper says:

They don't have to do it. Why do you think there are more and more free-lancers on the streets and in the karaoke bars?

chinglen says:

im really wonder why a girl needs to go for this sort of things. what makes them to do this. proverty cant be proper reason coz there are other honourable ways to earn one's living. there must be something behind their decision to go for this.
it is very dishearthening that even in their workplace also they are treated as pet animals impossing fines upon them. the government really needs to think about a job alternative n should discourage girls to go for this things.

Fred says:

All the bargirls I know are mainly interested in getting a farang husband. Ordinary girls in the villages in the agricultural NE of Thailand talk to each other about going to Phuket or Pattaya to "fuck farangs" to get a husband.

The money helps but they are just trying to improve their prospects and get some money for their families. They have had Thai husbands who have gambled and drunk any money that the family has made and the girls view fucking as something they have to do to get a husband. (much like any western girls - those who want to have husbands).

There is little social stigma in the villages against a girl who goes to work in the bars and if she comes back with a rich farang she is considered to have been very successful. Don't forget that the wage in the villages for a days work in the rice fields is 100 to 150 baht $3 to $5. So even the poorest of westerners is a millionaire to them.

Every one of the bargirls I know in the village I live in has succeeded in marrying a farang and they live in Australia, Germany, Austria, Sweden all over the world.

So next time you get into bed with a bargirl remember that she is not really interested in your cock, she is definitely interested in your money but she is mostly interested in your house back home.

I married a Thai bar girl. She quite enjoyed the life and some of the sex and now we're settled in England with two fabulous children, she's a wonderful wife and I love her to bits. The best 2000 baht I've ever spent. Absolutely no regrets and without Patpong I'd never have met her

To Geezer:

What do u tell people at home what your wife did in Thailand? Will you tell them she was a prostitute? Will u tell them that men paid her 1000 baht to spread her legs? What will you tell your kids about their mom? This is reality, think about it.

Nightlife,

Interesting story but I take it just as that .

First off your source is as you stated "The terms and conditions were provided by local women's groups." Who i'm more than sure would slant things in their favor.

This one is funny here "Must not eat during work hours. " stay in anybar for an hour or more and you're sure to see some BGs eatting.

To Lucent
The reality is that most people have their price for anything and when you're trying to scratch an existance in a country without any form of social security 2000 baht is quite a good price. We have now lived over here for over 5 years. We socialise in fairly well to do circles, one or two of our friends know that she used to be a prostitute and I'm sure that many speculate. It makes absolutely no difference.
With respect, how are you or anyone else fit to judge Most of the women I've had sex with over here (UK) have spread their legs, as you so delicatly put it, for nothing. Something that my wife finds very hard to understand and would never do. In fact she has probably had sex with fewer men than many of them (not that it matters)
Regarding telling the children. Yes I'm sure we will when they're older. There's no shame in it for us, she's a wonderful mum & wife and we love her to bits and we're extremely proud of her.
