  • were is jennifer? the lady boy

  • Director of this movie is nothing but a murderer.He is single handily responsible for this girls death.

  • The movie takes a very naive view of the sex trade in Thailand. The "tear jerking" ending is a downright fabrication. Only watch this if you want to become dumber.

  • Bangkok appears to be a deviant penis paradise.

  • This film does not add up. No one would kill her for nothing , she was not a druggie or a hussie.. Sounds like Mr Clark has been reading too many Bangkok tearjerker novels. But since he didnt' post my other two replies , he won't post this one . Right , Mr Clark? Could affect your revenues, huh ? Exploiter extraordinaire for lack of a better word.....

  • @gretchcountrygentle We are happy to post your thoughts. Your last 2 comments will be posted once we have received your 'source' for the filmmaker's quotes...which we explained in the email we sent you. All the best and thank you for sharing your opinions.

  • @gretchcountrygentle How about the videotaping and exposing the Police as corrupt?? This video I am sure embarrassed quite a few people. People have died for less than that.

  • I am forced to work in an office for 10 hours a day because of poverty. Now everybody shut up.

  • who can send me this film? there is no aportunity to wath online

  • @Parabola007 what would you know about them if you were never in their shoes. If that's what you had to do to survive I'm sure you'd end up doing it! Especially if it's the only way, they said it in the film, the typical amount was about 2 dollars a day, who can live off that? The sad part is she ended up dead, so I fail to see how she would choose to do this willingly, unless it was the last resort, which was the only way to keep herself and her mom from starving.

  • They work in the industry of their own free will. Many have worked in the office, at the mall, restaurant etc. and choose the bar/entertainment industry bcuz they make much more money, dont have to work much, be w/their friends n party. They can always get a regular job again if they want to, but they dont. ITS THEIR CHOICE! So for everyone out there that wants to save them...save yourself instead.

  • a mans playground yep

  • Bangkok cat.

  • I just watched it on netflix.. Wow! It's sad we should care about every story!

  • This docu is so painfull to watch.

  • i saw jennifer.

  • where is jenifer ? the lady boy ?

  • It's easy for woman. Selling ass is easier than working in the rice field. I feel sorry for the dudes there. Why would they come to the US and work for minimum wage? They wouldn't.

  • jennifer that lady boy.

  • where is jennifer asking for a falang ?

  • Very difficult to judge what happens in Thailand from western perspective. Mix of stories for prostitutes - some are forced, some have mo other choice, and some do it rather than do harder work in a factory. Thailand today has seen western style materialism grow - so you now have an explosion of college-girl prostitution as well - so things have gone way beyond the bar girl/go-go scenes of Soi Cowboy and PatPong.

  • Guys who go to Thailand or any other place to get sex and have to pay for it are pigs. Your mothers would be ashamed. The local men probably fit right in with them. *Tisk tisk*. And it's a pity that any girl has to do that or choses to do that type of work. I cried for Pla. Even if it was all for show, I'm sure the story was true for another Thai girl.

  • hey,dona83,i think you are a egoistic Lady,you are want a Fat Old ugly Man can stay alone in his Home and wait for the end!!!!!or he can read a book!!!!

    Now you can go suck the cook from your Husband!!!

  • SPOILER! From what I have read Pla is alive and living. Married to a farang.. Im not suprised. Not the fact that she is alive nor that she found a man. There can be several reasons for her to fake her death. Boyfriends, the barowner, police... And everything about Pla triggers the "protector" in the right type of men

    (like Clark). Im not saying she has played Clark. I think she is genuine. And I think that she has benefited from this movie. Clark saw her as a person, not a lambchop.

  • I`d rather have the lamb chop personally.

  • I think this story deeply affected many people , I hope Pla is still alive, There was no proof in the documentry that she had died , I think many men went to visit Thailand after seeing this documentary hoping to rescue their own sweet lady . Everyone has a story, they are not just garbage..... If you went there and met them you'd know.

  • it says in the film she was found dead

  • i actually think pla is dead.because as shes filming the documentary,people around her,maybe working in bars next door,look at her like"hey,that chick is telling falangs way too much about us!"

    so after her "protector"leaves thailand,they might have killed her for what she told the world about them

  • @akselp where did you hear this about pla?

  • What that girl says in the beginning...just a haunting ,sad beyond words quality to it.

  • Bah!

    I know of many Thai girls who have Western men sending them money so they dont have to do this, but they still do it because they love the party scene.

    Im sure not all are like this, but many are.

  • 1:05 and 1:14 , the same lady boy. Watch out for those.

    Been to BK and done that (not the lady boys)

    Besides the girls, Thailand is a paradise. Will go there again

  • hey man thats just the way it is .............. if People arround you take drugs mostlly you will do one day too , if people arround you are poor so they will find out a way to take money right ???

    we all are same guys ............... everybody try to survive whereever we are !!!

    sad to say that but thats it and poor people like me can`t change anything in the World !!

  • I think the director doesn't know that much about the thai sex scene, it's really in many ways very subjective, boulevard press like.

    But over all I liked this documentary, it's entertainment.

  • Was a great docu... Recommend to everyone.. ending was quite sad.. :/

  • Guys, who can get girls in normal way, like every normal person - date, meeting etc., instead of this they must pay girls to have sex with them, are big losers.

    Sad in here is this, that they exploit country economical situation and poverty and mostly slept with underage girls, horrible...

  • ps why have you pulled the video?

    I thought it was factual 555555555555

    BTW, that English guy is great!

  • Women are just angry that men are rejecting them for hot asian girls.

  • Fact is this, men have freedom in places like Thailand, they no more take advantage of the local women then any other rich tourist exploits their wealth when they visit. The reason white women get so upset about this place is they cannot compete with hot asian women and the fact that men are rejecting their feminist ideals. So white women at home are now struggling to find a man, and take their anger out on mens choices.

  • Thought provoking stuff. People really should do some research before blindly throwing around accusations. There is racism, abuse, and prostitution in every country. Dumbass outsiders are always quick to judge by their own cultural standards (me included).

  • and our sins become as polluted garments, and our inequities like the wind carry us away...

  • i had a bad feeling when i saw all these girls in bkk and pattaya, coz i thought poor them, they are forst to do this coz of there economic situation... but then again, i think how come that these girls even when they live in western contrys, and have chance to work normal they chose prostetution. I live in denmark and know about 10 thai and i also know they have a secret life in many massage clubs.. I would say its in there blood, they like fast money and to gamble.....

  • in their blood? Thats BS.

    Sextourist come to BKK to shag some cheap bargirls. Some fall in love and get merried.

    They bring the bargirls to their home and what do you expect?

    Merry a prostitute from france or germany and take her to USA, you will get the same.

    To say its in their blood is a huge discrimination.

  • If some of you really watched this documentary and are still talking about "wrong choice." The narrator showed that clearly in one scene where Pla (who works as a bartender) NEEDS to cater to every falang (drinking+chatting = flirting) or she will get fired like her boss did to one of her co-bartender when she retaliated against a falang customer. Still wrong choice for working as a bartender in red light district? What other choices are there for a young, poor, uneducated, independent girl?

  • Anyone know why she died in the end?

  • Free choice? All disgusting fallangs have a choice, the girls don't. This poor girl ended very bad and so, many of them.

  • bullshit, she could of got a real job. she wan't to make alot of money. she made a bad choice about how to live her life and bad choices have consequences

  • How is she supposed to get a real job?Did you watch the documentary?What's she supposed to do?Leave her sick mother all alone, and go to a place where no one would hire her anyways?Money is the main issue here,but don't bullshit and say she could have had a better job,because she couldn't have.What are YOU doing to help girls like Pla?Opinions like yours spread the poison infecting rich Falangs,who then abuse these women.I hope you see Pla's smile and think of her dead everytime you think that.

  • did you even watch the film? she needed money because her mother needed a throat operation. thats why she got a job in a bar which lead to the prositution. She told Jordan (the filmmaker) that one girl refused to entertain the patrons in the bar and she was never seen again!

  • i heard its bullshit and shes actually alive. the film maker was a mug

  • I want to save you girl! I want to care about you! :( That's so bad that you don't are in norway than i can find you and take care of you ;( If i wanted have a way to take you with me from bangkok than i wanted to do it :(

  • knight in shining armor syndrome. Happens a lot to newbies in Thailand. They only learn after the lady has taken them to the cleaners as she doesn't care about being 'rescued'.

    I wouldn't trust a bargirl to tell me the time in a room full of clocks.

    Regarding this film, I thought the filmmaker was a little ignorant with some of his observations. Why is there no mention of 450,000 Thai men who visit hookers daily? Most of the women on the game cater for the local population, not farang.

  • @hugh51271 "I wouldn't trust a bargirl to tell me the time in a room full of clocks." brutal but honest lol.

  • I remember I use to think this way too by feeling sorry for everyone but I've lived there and seen it first hand. As I've said in another post that their earning power is in the line of middle/upper class. I really don't know where the locking girls up against their will to service customers came from. I'm not saying it has not happened but I'd suggest talking to some of them as it has always been about the money and lifestyle. Sad but true.

  • Most people are judging this based on their own moral, religious values. I've been in Thailand many times and most bar girls only see one thing different between having sex with a stranger, cutting his hair, or doing a manicure and that is, of course, money! They can make a week's pay in a couple of hours and when you compare that to working in a Nike sweatshop for pennies - what is really worse???

  • i wrote that last comment b4 i watched da whole thing.she seems like a nice girl but i still stand by everything else i said

  • shes lookin for pity.if the men stopped comin to ride her she'd be more upset.i do pity a lot of these girls but alot ot them do just want money.i seen it myself

  • Rubbish its free choice and big money thats why they do it.

  • The above is from a very well done Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) documentary. That sweet girl they show at the start and end of the clip...gets her dead body dumped in a dumpster after being murdered. Ya lots of choice... one big party.. Its not like they are trying to feed a family or anything like that.

  • Prostitutes don't get murderd in the US, Canada, Europe and anywhere else? There alot of thai woman that don't make the decision to become prositutes and life a life of self respect. It's about money PERIOD.

  • Fuck off if they did not want to do it, they could get other jobs, less well paid, so thats the reason they choose to do it, they get big money out of all proportion of the national GPD average income, so no one is taking advantage of anyone. Its a fair business exchange.

  • this is a great doc.

    so many of the girls out there are doing what they have to do to take care of parents or send their kids to school. it's absolutely disgusting to see the pigish ferrang there taking advantage of the situation as they are.

  • they have a choice...westerners always want to make it out to be poor thai girl..forced into prostitution @12 boo hoo hoo...the truth is...thats bullshit...i have been associated with and spent time with MANY a bar girl...TRUST me..its their choice. very few thai ladies work bar...we come from supposed "free" cultures...which in fact are not...its their choice.

  • it's their choice to do what it takes to send their kids to school or get medical care for a parent. they don't need to take shit from some idiot ferrang who is only there to take advantage of their economic position. if you actually took the time to get to know any of these many of bar girls you've associated with and weren't a complete jackass you'd probably have a different opinion on the matter.

  • A very good made story. Helps every foreigner to understand little more the fate from many thai-girls. Nice, said and terrible truth.

  • Everyone has a choice. The right choice is to stay away from the cities! Most of these women are from the provinces where they have land to grow food and raise stock. Cities are built to kill people!

  • I HATE EUROPEAN OR AMERICAN PEOPLE GO TO THAILAND JUST FOR SEX! AND I HATE WHO MADE THEM THIS WAY... USA after vietnam

  • That gay that talking about the girl and hte countrey are so descousting, if i see him in my life i will kill him, i hate pepole that bye prostitute.

  • I have this movie

  • You can get this video on torrent sites. Or you can email me I'll put it on Gigasize so can download it.

  • Real Nice! Her face and voice/accent are perfect. Nice shots, edit and pace. Check out my "21 hours in Bangkok" on my chanel.

  • I see ppl want to watch this..contact Highbanks and they should accommodate. This is a good watch from the eyes of the director eventhough he got too emotionally attached. This girl never had a chance. Lots of sad stories there...

  • can i get hold of this video on web? currently back home in uk wanna watch this looks v interesting

  • where can i fine this video?

  • Seems like an interesting documentary. I think the estimates are exaggerated though. Credible sources put the figure more closely to 200,000 opposed to the 800,000 shown in the trailer.

  • I watched this, twice, a few weeks ago! Its a really sad situation for these girls!

  • one of the best documentaries I have seen in a while. caught it on CBC last week

  • SPOILERS

    i was so sad at the end when she died

  • Hmm, I just watched a part of this last night.

  • so did i. i then saw it was playing back at 1am so i watched it. i really enjoyed it there something about that girl i just enjoyed so much

  • It's too easy to make a show about how sad prostitution is. I'd be more interested in watching one that makes it seem glamorous!

  • HAH.....are you for real? A better statement would have been, "who hasn't made a show/movie that makes prostitution seem glamorous"?!!!?

  • dat whut dem Rice Eaters get fer not takin dat 20 cent an hour ar the Nike Plant

    is it tha WHORES or SHOES ?

  • lol your a bitch

  • why the hell are you going at the thai girls and women.its not like they did anything to you.and spell your words right.ya just jealous bitch

  • Just watched for 2nd time last night.Very sad life for these girls.Slimy men that take advantage,disgusting knowing how from all over the world men go to prey,and thai men and cops make fortunes off of the girls.Doc is first rate,brought tears to my eyes!!

  • brought tears to my eyes also, girl was very sweet too bad what happened to her. I have been visiting thailand for almost 8 years , married a middle class girl but befor knew some bar girls and yes some have sad life and stories.

  • very sad man

  • this was a really good documentary .. very sad though because they really have no other choice.

  • No other choice?

    What about the 30 million or so women in Thailand who aren't prostitutes? How are they able to survive if there are no other choices?

  • Because 29.999 million of those are prostitues and living large and lauging at us silly westeners as they go to the BANK.

  • most of prostitutes in thailand are uneducated so they dont get the job and be a prostitute is the easy way to get money (for them) cuz their pussies are made of metal. 70% of prostitutes here are from E-sarn (aka issan) i bet!

  • The 30 mil women u talk about are from well off families or educated and can find jobs. Most poor girls from Issan or farm areas have little education and can only get menial jobs. If u are hi-so from Thailand u already know that.

  • watched it on CBC...must watch it...its a nice documentary film about life of a thai girl...and BIG THANKS TO JORDAN CLARK FOR MAKING THIS FILM...

  • this doc will be aired on cbc newsworld on may 6 11pm eastern time. available to all canadian viewers, not sure about the rest. newsworld is global i think, should be able to pick it up off sat.

  • Is this the same film as Falang: Behind Bangkok's Smile ?

  • most of them are mot so innocent, just damn lazy.

  • You hit the nail right on the head there.

  • This is an amazing yet depressing documentary.  Highly recommended.

  • cool trailer, very well put together, now want to see the film

  • i've seen it twice. Its depressing to see a girl who is so innocent forced into a life like that.

  • where have you seen this film man, did you buy it, cause i cant seem to find it on the internet

  • She is not forced in to it. Not ever girl in Thailand works as a prostitute.

  • Actually if you watched the documentary she was against prostitution. Though that being said a man asked her to have sex with her and this went on for about 7 months. After that she gave into it because of the money issue and nothing else. She needed the money to survive and her mother was ill at the time.

  • @Johnson994

    Bollocks Johnson they are almost without exception forced by POVERTY

    Once your options are gone you would love to have a body to sell, but nobody wants you

  • @racenemo Bollocks Racenemo, there is a difference between forced by poverty and seduced by the large and easy amounts of thai baht. the truth will lie somewhere in between, Pood jing jing mai law!!!!

    not every thai bar girl comes from absolute poverty, and certainly not "almost all without exception"
