Johnny B. Your quite frankly a total waste of space. Bob Mac's view's are his own and this is the purpose of the forum. Why didn't you give a response like. No Bob I don't agree with that and here's why. The reader is left guessing what the hell your on about. At least Bob explains his case clearly wether you agree with him or not. What's your beef mister?
Got something to say lets here it and we can all find out why? Are you one of these guys with a bargirl wife and are you experienced on this subject or not?
Come on lets here it???

that couldn't be any further from the truth, quite the opposite, the thai sex industry for locals was well established and going as strong as it is today. just wasn't advertised and packaged for the tourist.

JB. You seem to have a very limited and biased view of this subject. Thai bars = sex = exploitation.

There are many different types of bars in Thailand. Yes, go-go bars, BJ bars, bars with rooms for sex upstairs, are all part of the sex industry and the girls who work in them are mostly prostitutes (there are also cleaners, cashiers, cooks). But there are also beachside bars, poolside bars, jazz bars, blues bars, rock bars, C&W bars, cocktail bars. Not every customer who goes to a bar is looking for sex or to exploit somebody. People (including tourists) go to bars to play pool, play darts, watch sports on big screens, watch films or music vids on DVD, to listen to music, to eat or chat to people for company. And there are people who go to bars purely to drink (believe it or not) I've sat drinking in beach bars on Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi, Railay and other islands where the bar staff were all local muslim girls and certainly none of them were selling sex. I've been to bars all over Thailand where clubs and sports people, like the Hash House Harriers or golfers, go to met each other and drink & chat together. The gals that staffed these bars were not prostitutes offering sex, nor were they victims or being abused. Everybody seemed happy and jolly. So what's the problem?

Sabailand: We get the odd person like Johnny B pass through this forum from time to time; they resort to personal slurs whenever somebody disagrees with their dogmatic views. Still one wonders what Dantesque hells he's been to on his holidays? My wife and I go to bars all over the country and drink and have a laugh with the bar staff. We leave feeling happy after spending a most enjoyable evening. Johnny on the other hand sees misery and sickening human degradation everywhere. Just be thankful he doesn't come live in Thailand, he'll probably walk around the bar areas handing out Mother Hubbards to the semi-naked gogo dancers while petitioning the Thai government to bulldoze down the bars and build Disney Worlds in their places.
