Picking up a Girl in Thai culture
For a western man often experiencing the best that Thailand has to offer means experiencing the thrill of taking home, which is often acceptable to a girl in Thai culture; which is a cultural experience unique unto itself.
It is widely accepted to simply walk into a bar and take your pick of the females in the bar much like embarking on a blind date, except that you can experience multiple blind dates in one visit allowing you to choose the girl that you like the best to round your night out with. There are certain protocols to follow however once you step into the bar scene in search of a girl.
For starters, if you are in a beer bar it is likely that most of the girls will approach you like any single girls would willing to strike up conversation and eager to joke around and pal around to encourage you to stay.
They also may ask you to buy them a drink or wait for an offer since they get a cut of the price of the drinks that you purchase for them and of course because they want to drink as well. As mentioned, any girl in Thai bar culture certainly knows how to party and wants to party all night long.
If you and the girl seem to be compatible and you are thinking about continuing your companionship in another location such as your hotel or a club you will need to pay a bar fine since the girl is working.
This is acceptable and generally costs somewhere from 200-500 depending on how busy the bar is. From here you are free to take the girl out for whatever you like although it is expected that you will pay, but one thing you will quickly learn is that a girl in Thai bar society is up for almost anything.

Got something to say?
Try category culture and groups.

Christians can not and would not consider this.
It’s better to cut your own eyes out then for you to look at pornography! That being said what do you think the answer is?

Um what kind of question is this?
Christians would never do this. And if a Christian did, (it’s not my place to judge), but don’t think ALL Christians would.
Prostitution or whatever is bad, and shouldn’t be used for anything including getting money.
Use common sense, (or no, don’t hurt your brain too much), read the Bible.

You’re thinking that parents that prostitute their young daughters is not immoral because it’s accepted in certain countries? Really? I always thought God defined what was moral or immoral. I’m pretty sure God wouldn’t agree with you, so why are you coming to Christians with this, when you know we go by the Word of God? No, it isn’t ok just because it’s a "different culture." Sin is sin, and God isn’t going to ignore any sin, no matter where it comes from.
Jesus says it pretty clearly:
Jesus said, "If anyone causes these (children) to stumble, it would be better for them to tie a millstone around their neck and cast themself into the sea."

I would make WILLING prostitution legal, but not selling your daughter to prostitution. I think if somebody chooses to make their money by having sex, why not let them?

good luck with that..

It is the responsibility of the father to provide for the children and not the other way around. Besides, destroying ones innocence is a sin.

Just because this is "a different culture" doesn’t make it right to prostitute one’s own children…I think you know that, don’t you?
Suppose it were their young sons that were being sold to be "‘tok khiew"? The boys are fine with it, because it has been a part of their culture as long as they can remember. It isn’t a problem, they say, unless you make it one.
Suppose you were to find that this culture thought it was okay to sacrifice the children born to these prostitutes…say they put them alive into a fire every spring in order to ensure a good crop that year? Nobody in that culture thinks it is a problem, so why would you?
Maybe they want to abandon their sick, disabled, and elderly in the wilderness, to die? Would that be okay with you?
I don’t know about you, but, for me, any and all of these things is a problem in human rights.
Notice, I did not say that it is a problem for me because of my religion, although that is also true.
No, I said that it is a problem of HUMAN RIGHTS…and everyone ought to be concerned.

Uncommon Sense
Christian parents would you sell your daughter to be a "‘tok khiew" to pay off your debts?
Recently the term ‘tok khiew’ has meant farmers pledging their young daughters to the procurers in exchange for money to buy such things as houses or pick-up trucks. The young girls may be pledged as young as Prathom 5 (grade 5) and when they finish the compulsory Prathom 6 they are sent into the brothels for a number of years to pay off their (parents) debts.
In response to this "Rumpel" from Thailand on soc.culture.thai said:
I have met girls that had been given to a brothel to work off a debt, many of them had stayed on after the first year or two (depending on the initial contract). None of the girls I ever talked to was angry with her parents, most send money home even if they’re not required to do so by any contract, these prostitutes are just farm girls that make money selling sex – a job as any other. When I encountered this first (somewhere in the 60’s, I was as shocked as you – how could parents do such a thing? Well, it’s a different culture and unless you make it a problem such as labeling this job immoral or bad it’s not a problem at all)
"Well, it’s a different culture and unless you make it a problem such as labeling this job immoral or bad it’s not a problem at all)"
I think this maybe the key to the right kind of thinking. Prostitution is not an immoral job?
The quote isn’t from me.
