Nana Plaza girl dupes love-sick farang

Michael (not his real name) met a beautiful Thai go-go dancer in Nana Plaza. Although he paid for it, the sex was the best he'd ever had. Somehow, though, she managed to convince him that she wasn't really a prostitute.
In his bid to bring her back to the US, Michael emailed me for advice.
Dear David
I have been reading article after article on the internet on visas for Thai girlfriends coming to the USA and how difficult it is. I have a couple questions.
I just spent 10 days with a wonderful Thai girl in Koh Samui. I met her on the street in Nana Plaza after she finished dancing at one of the go-go bars. Her story was interesting but unbelievable. She said when she was 20 (she's now 26) she moved to Holland with her Dutch boyfriend. He also had a business in Canada. She spoke fluent Dutch and had all the visas and stamps in her passport to prove it.
She stayed there for five years but moved back to Thailand after they broke up 5 months ago. He has continually sent her 10,000 baht a week. She spent all of the money on a house she is building for her parents. She is a farm girl from Nachon Rachasima and, although she speaks Lao, Thai, Dutch and English, she can't read or write.
She told me over and over that she and her girlfriend were bored and came into the city to drink and see if they could pick up some money. However, she said that she had only worked at the go-go bar for one night and I was the first man to solicit sex from her. I did give her money for our time together.
We want to keep seeing each other and I want her to come to the USA. After reading all these articles it seems like she has a lot of things going against her. She told me when she went to work in the bar they took a lot of information on her including fingerprints. So here are my questions.
[Paragraph about visa issues removed].
Should I have her investigated to see if she's telling the truth about being a hooker for only one night?
Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I really like this girl. Thanks.
David replies: You won't want to hear this but your girl is a cynical and highly experienced prostitute. She's been doing it for years. Her story about working for one night only and you being her first paying customer is preposterous.
When Thai prostitutes are lucky enough run into a naive guy, they always trot out this line - just to see what they can get from him. Some of them hit the jackpot.
I apologize for calling you naive but I'm guessing that this was your first trip to Thailand and this is what usually happens.
I won't tell you to drop her because I know that you won't. Just remember that prostitutes are for recreational use only.
[Paragraph about visa issues removed].
I know that you're going to ignore my advice (love-sick farang men always do because they think their girl is "different") so I wish you luck and I hope that you don't get burned too badly.
I figured I would get a response like this. I know you are probably right but oh my God, I had the greatest time with this girl.
I have to be careful because I have a child in the USA and am not a rich man. The last thing I need to do is throw my life's savings at some great pussy. So I will heed your warnings and be very careful.
I would believe you 100 percent but what about the passport with the visas from Canada and Holland that date back to 99 and her speaking fluent Dutch and all that.
That can't be typical can it?

David replies: Those passport stamps are badges of shame, I'm afraid - mute testament to duped foreigners and failed relationships.
Many Thai prostitutes do a stint or two in Farangland and the articles I sent you illustrate what usually happens.
Take a look at this picture
...and then ask yourself why she speaks fluent Dutch.
Take care.
Thanks again, David, for getting back to me. So you are saying this girl has been going to Holland and Canada for the past 5 or 6 years and working as a hooker over there? Is there a private detective in Canada you trust that could check all this out for me for a reasonable sum?
David replies: What I'm suggesting is that she went to these countries with foreign boyfriends/husbands who later came to regret their impulsiveness. Once a girl becomes experienced in selling her body, every man she meets is merely a new opportunity. It's more than likely that, at some stage, she worked as a hooker in Farangland.
Why hire a PI? You already know that she's a working prostitute. What more do you need to know?
To get a better perspective on all this, I suggest that you get back to Thailand at the earliest opportunity and fool around with some more party girls. You'll soon come to realise that they all behave the same way.
WOW! Ok, David, I get the picture. Amazing how good this girl was at making me believe she wasn't a hooker. There was nothing about her that seemed like a hooker and our time together was like being on a honeymoon.
If I hadn't received this information from you it is very possible I would have pursued this girl, sent money and set myself up for a huge fall. It's such a drag because I had the greatest time with her and had the best sex of my life. Not fucking but actually making love three times a day for a week (I at least know the difference).
Now I am disillusioned and heart broken and am wondering what to do next time. I am so fed up with American chicks I don't think I can even look at them again.
Maybe I should come back to Thailand and try to find a normal girl who has a real job. What are the chances of that on a 2 week holiday?
Also, now I'm all freaked out about AIDS since I just had ten days of sex with this experienced hooker. We used a condom every time but I did kiss her and eat her pussy a lot. Am I cool? Nothing anal.
Thanks again for the harsh dose of reality. Not what I wanted to hear but the truth is sometimes hard to swallow.
Is there anything I can do with this chick or just drop her based on your opinion?
David replies: The fact that she convinced you that she wasn't a hooker is, indeed, truly amazing - given that she was working in Nana Plaza as go-go dancer and you paid her for sex. These girls can exert an extraordinary influence over a man.
I take your point about American women but I fear that nothing can be done about them.
You're right. It's almost impossible to meet up with a normal girl during a two-week holiday. Ex-pats often do pretty well, though - but time is on their side.
Don't worry about AIDS - or any other STD, for that matter. You didn't indulge in high-risk behaviour with this girl. I know loads of guys who take a different girl every night and who haven't yet come a cropper. If you used a condom during intercourse, you'll be fine.
You don't have to drop your girl. When you refuse to send cash, she'll drop you.
