If people felt that they weren't paid enough, then we wouldn't have any maids, factory workers and labourers in Laos.

I'm a city person and can get by, but I have friends and relatives in the countryside who are poor and they don't turn to prostitution. There's no toilet cleaning jobs for them out there, but there are other choices for them to earn a living. Some friends come to the city to work as a cleaner, welder and security guard.

No girl in Laos is locked up as a slave and being forced by a pimp to have sex. They can call it quits and return back home if they didn't like what they're doing, but they want to stay. Prostitution is not their dream job, but it's the job they would rather do than the choices of jobs available.

Reply #151 - 6^th Feb, 2011 at 6:48pm If the girl and boy has a good paying jobs then they wouldn't work at sex worker. And don't have to go look for jobs in Thailand. Maybe Laos would have been better off as U.S colony then Vietnam colony. After 35 year under Vietnam we are still the least developing country in Southeast Asia.

Some wealthy girls also become full-time prostitutes in Laos, because that's the sort of environment they enjoy.

Money is not the issue here. It all starts with how they were raised by their parents, and also how the parents themselves were raised up.

Regardless of how poor their family appears, there are girls who will not even think of becoming a prostitute, due to the way they were brought up.

Poverty lead to crimes and prostitution. Most do it because of money. Most rich, educated or successful people will not work in sex trade . Most poor people do because they don't have much choices, look at Thailand for example most sex worker are from Issan. Monthly income in Issan is about $200, but in Bangkok about $700. People has to eat and feed their family. It's human nature people will do whatever to survive.

In America yearly income is $47,000 a year, but we still have some prostitution. Its all depend on the person situation. People work in sex trade for many reason. Many are victims of human trafficking. There's no justification wrong is wrong you can't just go robbed the bank and think its ok because you want too.
Huh

Like I said, poor people will never think of becoming prostitutes if they were raised in a family environment with high standards. Poor people also have high standards.

Even if they don't have enough employment choices, it's pretty low in anyone's language to choose to sell their body.

People have food to eat in Laos, their needs are already met, even if means going fishing for food and growing their own vegies. The main reason they become prostitutes is because their wants are not fulfilled. They want mobile phones, motorbikes, TV, etc.

Many in Laos live $1 a day. Even $100 a month is not enough for food, gas, car insurance, pay rent. After that you won't have much to spend. The more people make the more they'll spend. Which is good for economy. If people make less they'll spend less.

It's human nature everybody want the best in life. Good jobs, nice house, nice car. Its wrong? No. We're human being after all.

Many Lao teens have enough money to purchase whisky!

I don't think they can afford that with $1 a day.

I'm not saying everybody in Laos live under $1 a day. I say many. Maybe Laos will become more develope and prosper when government decide to abandon Communism. There'll be more jobs opportunity, more people will become rich, more business, more company will open up in Laos.

According to business for Millenium development.

2 million or 30.7% Lao live beneath poverty line.
1.8 million or 27% live on less then $1 a day.
4.8 million or 74% live on less then $2 a day.
Only 63% of Lao children reach grade 5.

Good thing Lao government don't have democracy and election. People will votes all of them out of offices. This is what Pathet Lao fought so hard for, just to bring poverty and communism to Laos.

I don't mind socialism, if Lao government can develope the country like China or Singapore. Until then I say Tongue

to Commies.

LP Admin, seems like you have had bad experience with prostitutes. Perhaps you are surrounded with too many of them in the city where you live that nothing or no one could convince you that for some unfortunate women prostitution is not about choices.

I absolutely disgust those who turned prostitutes by choice and for those you can look down and condemn as much as you like. However though do spare some thoughts and sympathy for those who do not have any choices that you and I have. After all Lao people are known for being kind and friendly....

There's always a choice, some people have more and some people have less of it than others, but there's options out there.

Prostitution is illegal in Laos anyway, so they're not even supposed to be prostituting.

I sympathise those who legitimately look for work, but get tricked into another country to work as a slave in the sex industry.

However, in Laos, no one is being tricked, it's a choice to be a prostitute.

We suffer while we are alive.

That's why when there is a new born baby, we go to "Ngun Gum" in Lao culture. "Gum" is all about stress and misery ahead in life.

And when someone dies, we go to "Hean Dee", meaning "Good house". It is "dee" because they are in peace, there is no more suffering and unhappiness for them.

So remember the words "Ngun Gum" and "Hean Dee". Grin

Reply #162 - 19^th Mar, 2011 at 10:10am I get an odd feeling that somehow you despise your fellow 'sisters' that work as 'maa-jahng'. Am I right or not? I don't think anyone in a proper state of mind actually wants to auction themselves off to the highest bidder. Not everybody is well-off as you are 'nang'.

Hi Larb Dip

Please have control over your self and do give some respect to Admin. I am sure you don't want anyone to talk to your family member that way.
by the way..I do suspect she is not what she claim to be. She maybe a male, and she also could be living in Australia.....
