Sexual Assault
Apparently, Thailand is well known for sex trade. I feel an increasing resentment for foreign men who behave oddly towards every Thai Woman they come across in the country. Most men they try to drool over every women they can. It is completely an off putting behavior. Without future ado, I would like to tell all foreign men who visit Thailand to bear in mind that not every Woman in this country is into sex trade. Pattaya is not only a tourist place. Yet, is also a place where we Thai people come along with family and friends for a long weekend holiday to enjoy ourselves. Frequently, I have been to walking street with my friends for a nice stroll. But, what happened that night was quite depressing for us. We entered one of the pubs on walking street. There were a mob of people inside enjoying themselves and swaying with the music. We strolled over to one of the tables and ordered drinks. After, a kick from the drinks we headed off to the dancing floor. Suddenly, a weedy looking foreign man started dancing with us he seemed to have taken too many drinks and looked a little out of his mind. We moved away from him but, he kept coming closer to us. Aggressively, we left the dance floor and headed back to our table weary and exhausted. Then, the same weedy looking man emerged with two more guys on our table. At first I was quite perplexed of why they were there. He came forward and spoke in a slurred speech that he and his friends would want to know if we were interested to go spend a night at the hotel with them for 2000 baht. We were flabbergasted and I fumed and snapped back “we are not hookers”. With a distress feeling we left the pub. A lot of people are approached by a complete stranger in shopping malls in Pattaya bluntly asking them if they are interested to spend a night with them and how much they charged. I see banners everywhere saying that save “sex slaves’’. How can it be stopped, when every man who visits Thailand looks at all the woman with those leaching eyes. Submitted by : Jenny 08-Aug-05
