Thai party, Thai men, Mia Noi, prostitutes, AIDS, sexual slavery Yesterday it was time again: Participation in a monk's house warming party and of Provincial Thai neighbors. - Have you ever been at such a party when it comes to marriage, the one-year commemoration of the dead, a house warming, or the farewell party of a novice monk?
actually run such parties always much the same. Participants will be invited personally and in writing. This includes family members, relatives, friends and acquaintances, teachers, community leaders and police officers, who take on the best tables. Come together so quickly once a few hundred people who usually sit on plastic chairs at their round tables. These will be placed on the land before or near the house. There are also multi-colored Neon lights and those who can afford it is, the talk show host and the dance group, a large stage with sound system and speakers as to Woodstock-times are available, which the guests roaring with loud music and incessant chatter! The very scantily-clad dancers are recruited mostly from very young girls who always dance the same way to the Thai music while swinging her hips vigorously. They are usually accompanied by a singer or a singer.
Guests spin experience shows a 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. clock and are usually greeted personally by the hosts, which we take this opportunity an envelope with money for food and drink presented, out of the book exactly, is so you can return the favor due to mutual invitation. On the tables is usually already Cola and rum and the first participants the opportunity to leave after a short time after they emptied the bottles and their bellies have fully beaten. In the course of the evening, joined by several small groups to each other and the alcohol level rises are often of critical level, which sometimes leads to bullying or even fights - and as I heard, even to a shootout!
What can be observed at such a party do and hear, be amazed! Sits as a penniless 15-year-old girl sitting next to a married heeled community member who is known to the public and my wife tells me that this is his Mia Noi (concubine). On the same table, a married teacher also sits on a 20 year old, abandoned along with her 2 children by her boyfriend and desperately needs money! There would be countless other stories, not least that of the neighbor girl who was pregnant at age 13, married and gave birth to the child at 14! It is known far and wide in Thailand that Thai men, to say to say the least, large "slot ears" - and like so many Thai women sing a sorrowful song!
Since this is not hardly known among foreigners living in Thailand and is reported mostly on the bad farang love Kasper of Pattaya, Chiang Mai and Phuket & Co. wants, I take this as an opportunity, even a few figures on Thai-men who take anti-money young Thai women and / or maintain and in karaoke bars prostitutes break open to release, from the second expanded edition of the book-selling - are "only 13 Lons true story" on page 138 to publish the names of the sources as follows:
• 81% of Thai men go to prostitutes
• 6 million Thais go weekly to a prostitute
• 100,000 Thais sleep every day with 26,000 AIDS infected prostitutes
Only 5% of men who sleep with prostitutes in Thailand, • are foreigners
• 400,000 to 600,000 AIDS patients living in Thailand (about 1% of the population)
• Human trafficking and sexual slavery is the 3rd largest source of profits of international organized crime, behind drugs and arms deals
