Girlfriend for sale - Part 2

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.

@salman501 Find out? Ohh you mean they should ask the girls openly if they are "golddiggers"? Yeah, way to go, mate.

Tell you what? You clearly arguing with yourself and concluded that a "50 something" can't get a "20 something", period. And you clearly have correct facts. What about turkey? The majority of marriages over there are usually arranged.

I'm happy for you and the 17 ppl that clicked "thumbs up", doesn't mean you're right though. Interesting that you even mentioning that.. "pfff"

its sad because most of these women looking for western husbands fall into a world of hell, abuse and imprisonment. Their husbands treat them like slaves, and they cant do anything about it because they lack money of their own, help from friends and the ability to speak English.

"Fon's" English BF supposedly supports her by paying Mamasan a fee so the Johns don't pump her. BUT, obviously her BF doesn't like her enough to pay her way out of the bar altogether! Better idea, pay her directly instead of Mamasan. LOL!

I've had two thai girlfriends...none of them have been in the two categories that this documentary portrays...some thai girls go to brothels in Europe to earn money for their families, and maybe to find a husband...others just go to a bar, finds a nice guy they wanna fuck, and ask to be paid afterwards...

[sheemsheem]

A bar girl being loyal? I was young and stupid when I went to Thailand.....we got property under her name....years went by the beginning was sweet than it all crumbled fast, she took my property alot of my savings and gave me HIV....I live pay to pay now..
