Girlfriend for sale - Part 6

Thai prostitutes desperate to find Western husbands spend half their income on interpreters, it has been revealed.

Film crews followed Fon, a bar worker, and Yek, a karaoke singer, on their plight to find foreign men to whisk them away from a life of poverty and provide for their children.

For foreign men searching for petite Thai wives the Nana Plaza red light district of Bangkok is full of Eastern promise, but for the women who work there life couldnt be less glamorous.

By night Fon, a 21-year-old single mum, sells her body to tourists but by day she hands her wages over to a cunning businesswoman.
Pompeli, one of the only women in the area with a computer and good grasp of English, charges the girls to send and reply to e-mails from potential husbands.

Like Fon, karaoke singer Lek, 32, is desperate to find a foreign husband to provide for her and her two young children. She has been posting photographs of herself on the Internet in the hope of finding a foreign love, but is having little success.

The girls were filmed for Channel 4 show Girlfriend for Sale.

On air december 2007.

Why do all these type of shows make out that thai girls are forced into this. They what to do this they want to work in a bar they want to find farang men. So who's forcing them, society you say then you can also say society is forcing the men from around the world to go find them as well? It is all a matter of choice. Who are we or you to judge? Spend 5 minutes in their shoes and you would do the same thing.

@bungit2003 Well i don't think it's a matter of judging them but if they want a better life they "will" be financially forced into this situation, especially if they have children. I think that many western men use your argument in a bid to clear their conscience and appear as moral but in reality most western men that visit Thailand are filthy foul mouth pieces of drunken shit.

travelling that far thinking you are looking for love is absolute lie, ok if you think you find it after 3 years send me a high five if you are still with the so called love , she will vanish in thin air if not turning into a worst dream
