Another day brings yet another excellent article in the media on how the Thai government dances around the “oldest profession” – as do most city, state and country governments.
Such is normal human behaviour, which I have seen in Saigon, Biloxi and Reno, so it doesn’t bother me – girls will be girls...
A few blocks from my house there is a karaoke bar which is usually just closing when I get up at 5am. So, on my occasional morning trips to 7/Eleven I see clients leaving – often drunk, fondling the girls and being fondled in return. Sometimes the girls drink too much and start singing in the grey dawn.
Yesterday, as I returned home from lunch, they were hanging laundry: about 20 pairs of identical grey panties and a similar number of T-shirts cut off just below nipple height. I suspect this is their standard uniform.
For humanity, such activity is “common as dirt”, so why all the fuss?
