News Forum - Phuket child prostitution scandal: Entertainment venues lose 100 million baht
"but again, that is low class, uneducated village life" Have you ever been to Bangkok? Sheesh. 12 yo are driving motorbikes all over Thailand. Everywhere. Every day. One reason they learn to drive very young in the village is work. Kids are often driving the various trucks, tractors, machinery. ...When I bought a real motorbike in Chiang Mai back in 2020, my GF wanted to test drive it first. I asked, "do you know 1 down, 5 up?" "Richar, I country girl. In the country we drive anything." She hopped on and zoom zoom zom. Sorry, but I don't get the sense you have much of a clue what you're talking about. "So we just point to that and shrug our shoulders and chalk it up to "that's Thai village life"?" So you [presumptuously] know better than those 35 million folk, with their base culture that predates ours? Ever stopped to consider that the last thing they want is our sense of "enlightenment?" Here's a figure. Percentage of self-employed (i.e., entrepreneurs) in Thailand: 60% America (I assume it's similar all over the vaunted West): 6% 10X more people with entrepreneurial free spirits. You think that might have anything to do with anything? It's like an apples to oranges comparison. Entrepreneurs don't like being told what to do and generally loath sheepish, compliant, yessir employee mentality. -

News Forum - Phuket child prostitution scandal: Entertainment venues lose 100 million baht
I'd imagine 20 years of frequenting the village is enough My point was I wouldn't encourage what goes on in village life, because in many cases it's low class, same as any ghetto situation It's absurd any grown adult would condone 12-13yr old driving a MB, but again, that is low class, uneducated village life You wouldn't rock up to any ghetto in the US and follow their ways, you'd more than likely look down on them, but in Thailand you are celebrating it I enjoy the village, we will build a house there and live there.............I still wouldn't point to is as the way to conduct yourself in many situations Brining it back to the subject, you know how much shady underage stuff goes on in Thai villages that is just swept under the rug? So we just point to that and shrug our shoulders and chalk it up to "that's Thai village life"?
