Posts: 1749The quote that follows was a response to the question, Why are White girls charging a lot more than the Asian girls in Vancouver?
How does Thailand compare to China in the posters' 4 points? It seems to me there is a lot of similarity.
As a person of Chinese descent, here's my view:
First off, it's what we're used to. I don't know about South Korea, but for an SP to make $100 CDN in China, that is considered A LOT of money. In fact most SPs would have to spend the whole day with you and then some, just to make that kind of money. That's why they see places like Hong Kong and North America as lands of opportunity... they can pump out clients $120 per hour. So why not charge more? That leads to point two...
Point two: The Chinese mentality to business is "charge less, attract more clients." It's a numbers game, and the Chinese are just playing the numbers. From a business standpoint, there is no risk to charging less... someone is always looking for a better deal, so your clientele flow is steady. But there is a risk to charging more, which is you will definitely attract fewer clients. So why take a risk on something which you can directly control?
And Chinese consumers are always looking for the best deal... haven't you guys watched Russell Peters? If the Chinese consumer is not convinced he is getting the best deal, he will continue looking for what he considers is the best deal until he finds it. And China has a population of over 2 billion people, versus Canada which has about 33 million. 33 million? As of writing this, China has give birth to 33 million babies since January of this year! That means Canada's population is only about 1.5% of China's. Or to put it in another perspective, for every Canadian, there are 66 Chinese. The population keeps competition high, and therefore value low. Which leads to...
Point three: The sad truth is life in China is cheap... and by life, I don't just mean "quality of life", but life itself. Remember, China for the most part is still a third world nation, which means the poor are very poor, and there are a lot of them living in the countryside who feel they are getting shafted by the government. So most of them head to the big cities to look for work, and there are a lot! They mill about certain street corners, until some businessman comes along in a big truck, and goes, "You, you and you, come with me. I don't know who you are, I don't know your name, and I don't know your life story... nor do I care. This is what I pay. Hop in or I'll just find someone else." And as for girls working in prostitution, the real truth for many of them isn't because some human trafficker came along and kidnapped them away. The girls "willingly" enter prostitution because it's either their way out of the village, or they have some obligation to the family (parental medical bills and gambling debts are common, hence "willingly").
Point four: North Americans are brought up with the mentality, "You're worth it!"... even if the truth is you may not be. Chinese are brought up with the mentality, "You're not special", which sounds like a downer, but it does do one of two things... either it instills in you to work harder to prove that you are special, or you accept your lot in life and mill about your day... but you are not instilled with any false claims of worthiness.
Anyway, these are just some of my thoughts.

I recently went on my second trip to BKK, I stayed there something like 10 days.
The main purpose of my stay was girls, but I must say I became bored by the end of my trip.
In fact, I met 2 very different type of girls:
-Crazy BGs, had a lot of fun with some of them. But everytime it means heavy drinking and partying. I had a couple of entertaining nights but when you take them to MBK in the daylight you regret it a bit.
-Others girls met at various places (Semi-pros or Non-pros). They instantly call you their BF. It seems more socially acceptable to stroll the mall with them, but still they put you through a lot of bullshit.
I was looking for something in between those two types of girls, more casual and relaxed: I didn't reallly found. But maybe I was looking at the wrong place.
Anyway, I'm on my plane back home (France), and this cutie seats next to me. She says she comes to France to visit her sister who is married with a french man. She cuddled with me during the whole flight.
Now she calls me and wants to hang out.
I take this as a good opportunity to practice my thai.
But in the end, I feel bad, let me tell you why.
All the Thai girls I met (20 or so), once they see you are nice (I mean not a freak), they always get into romance.
For me, all this is going nowhere, since there is too much of a cultural gap between me and TGs to make any comitment, and it is really not what I'm looking for anyway.
They clearly have hopes for a better life.
So you know, I am going to screw her but I feel I am taking advantage of her in an unfair way.
Ever felt that way, guys?

Posts: 864Does anyone know of a school called "The Bangkok College of Business Administration"? My TGF wants to attend this school and I was wondering if anyone knows about this school, does it exist, where is it located?
Is it a real school or one of those money for useless degree popup schools? Any other thoughts would be helpful.

Bad thing currently is you have the economic crises. + the political crisis and nobody knows how it will play out in the end. It is a bit much. I know for a fact that business travels at certain foreign companies have been cancelled for the time being. And even that now everything is quiet again. It always takes a bit more time to come back to normal.

All we can do is promote Thailand as a fun place and not dangerous despite what the media blowups.

These style of comments are apalling and Buddhism has nothing to do with it.
Spend spend spend, you say, but if people are not coming in the first place? and don't forget that Thailand's sex tourists are not the majority of Arrivals in the country.

But I'm not trying to get religious here. Just mentioning some useful ideas as I am not a religious person.
Mongers can proceed normally after Songkran. But not the best time to be really stingy.
Spend spend spend will help Thailand.
Think of all those girls, really desperate for sex (and money) after a long Songkran break. Those girls returning late to their bars or MPs, will face fines as well.

But many of us will come to Thailand anyway, with or without protests and even airport problems would not deter all of us.
This doesn't mean we see protests as desirable at all.
