Increase in Non-Thais working?
Has there been an increase in working girls from Laos, Cambodia (rarely) and Myanmar? I seem to end up with non-Thai's a lot (not a complaint) and just kind of find that aspect of the "shadow economy" interesting. I feel like half the women I have picked from soapies / oillies were non-Thai in the past few months.
My theory is that there is a bit of a talent shortage for the local brothels / pimps, and they are bringing in women from neighboring countries. I also hear that these places get busted for having women from these countries sometimes. For example, High Class was raided in 2012:[URL]http://bangkok.coconuts.co/news/police-raid-huay-kwangs-high-class-massage-parlor-find-16-women-from-laos-and-burma[/URL].
I also find it interesting that Nataree is near empty some days, yet filled up by the bus-load the next day. I wonder if that has something to do with them not having illegals working on certain days (like official inspection days).
I've only been in Bangkok for about 2 years so maybe this has always been the norm:
