Another point of view: the girl's pov
[QUOTE=FLHawk;2493671]What do I do? What CAN I do? What [I]should[/I] I do? I think I know what many of you would do![/QUOTE]Well, for anyone who doesn't believe the story about South Korea, I could ask "Under what stone did you lie the last 30 years or so". There has been a mass transfer of labour around the world. With North Koreans working virtually anywhere to supply for the Missile program. But that's another story. Thais too work abroad, e. G. In Sweden! Only lately I saw a documentary showing their bad circumstances. Some years they do well, picking cherries in the forests. Some years they do not so well. If you enter in a bad year than you might not even be able to pay the trip to and from Sweden with your earnings. So, you actually lose money!
So is it possible in South Korea? The net is your friend. Just translate "vegetable farm in South Korea" to Thai and search the net. This site comes up and it has a combined address with Latin and Thai characters, so it is coded. Otherwise simply repeat my steps. It is not so difficult.

I am a bit flabbergasted at some comments here that state Secret is the real BG. Or that FL Hawk is just making things up. If you look at it from the point of view of Secret the story totally makes sense. And Bravo for Hawk to stay so objective about his own story. What I do see is a girl in financial need and desperate to hold on to her farm. If you have studied this phenomenon to some depth than you know that there is a big difference between farmers that do have land of their own and those that have not. The latter become very poor with very few opportunities. They most often have to beg for work. So to me it seems Secret is struggling to hold on to her farm. She has several options. One of them is going to Pattaya and trying to earn enough money. Another is opting for a rich foreigner. She chooses the one she likes best. But she just works down her options and if she reports hardship without Hawk offering money she needs to look for another way. Her next option is to work abroad and has chosen South Korea. I wonder whether that works out fine. South Koreans are quite OK but not filantropists. With Covid-19 coming up she might just be in the wrong time of the year. Then she might lose her farm and be doomed to extreme poverty.
So, is Secret a desperate girl at the verge of collapse. Yes, very likely. Is she hedging her bets with Hawk being one one of those? Yes, most certainly. Is she still a decent girl and not outright asking for money? Well, probably. A westerner might have liked her to be more forthcoming about her intentions: saving the farm.
Would I pay her debts if I had been Hawk. Yes, if I really liked her and the debt was still in reasonable comparison to my money. But I would have her write an IOU for the same amount. As stated before that is not a likely situation as I like a lot of girls that are sex workers but I have never met one that could hold my attention in a conversation for much more than half an hour. In my mind there is a strong foreboding that this is not going to end well for a nice girl. Then her only option is becoming a hardened BG and probably failing at that too.
Hard for them to adapt overseas a lot of the time
[QUOTE=BananaBoi;2493754]FL, as Mr. E mentioned 0% chance Secret was going to Korea to work on a vegetable farm. Seoul and Busan are two prime hot spots where Thai girls go work. I know close to 50 gogo, Soi 6, Thermae, and massage girls who have gone to work in Korea since I have met them. Some end up in jail, some can't cut it in Korea because they don't have the right look, and some just miss Thai food and their Thai boyfriend and come home.
How many FKK girls end up falling in love and living with a stereotypical FKK customer? They're not leaving their Romanian boyfriends to go with a 60+ year old Farang unless he has millions and is willing to freely share it.[/QUOTE]Banana Boi stated it right that many just can't adapt to life in Korea or Japan and come home pretty quickly after a short tour of duty. Not getting used to the food seems to be a genuine issue. Took a ridiculously hot Thai girl to Japan once and by the second day she was driving me crazy as she had to eat Thai food and was just picking away and looking at fantastic Japanese food like it was a pile of dog crap.
However I know one particular girl from Baccara Pattaya (one of the most popular ones there), that has stayed in Japan for close to a year now and looks like she has made some genuine real coin during her stint there. I would honestly say that she represents the 10% to 20% who succeed. The rest come back with less money than they started with.
