Christina is from The Bay Area and has been here in Thailand for 6 weeks. Very sweet girl. I filmed her to show you the two couples over her shoulder.

The man on the left was probably in his mid to late 60's and the they man on the right was most likely in this early 40's. The two Thai girls were mostly likely early 20's, maybe even late teens. They looked much younger, but that is typical with Thai women. The men probably paid the girls 1,000 Baht each (approx. $30) for the night.

It was saddening. This whole experience thus far has been very saddening and surreal. Just today we took a shortcut home from the Red District after painting and found ourselves in the middle of slums. I'll show the video soon.

I still have no mental place to put all the information i'm taking in.

    dont be sad.. its just the way it is.. have you noticed ladyboys are accepted as part of society.. ? Is Thailand your country? If not, no need to place your morals on anyone.

    you're right. it is the way it is. I guess I can help but be sad. Prostitution isn't the issue for me. It's the very real possibility that the majority of the girls didn't choose prostitution. They are exploited b/c of their poverty. My sadness is a justice issue more than an morality issue. Make sense?

    Also, lady boys... ha! my friends made fun of me because I thought a "woman" was really cute. It took me two weeks to learn how to spot the Ladyboys. Our Cabby that we used during the trip, Suwat, nicknamed me Ladyboy because of this. Too fun! I miss Thailand!

    oh, and I'm from the states. LA, PDX, Austin. Currently in Dallas.
