Great footage Illini!

Can you buy a nice time piece at a mall like this, or is it better to search out a watch dealer?

Yes, this is the reason why PH immigration is strict.

I handled 1 trafficking case before with 15 females victims. It's just inhuman in general.

That is very wrong. Many problems here. Lots of poverty. Sometimes I wonder how people can stay so happy here considering how poor they are. In the western part of the world, people definitely show their anger more easily

It's sad that they even have to do something like that.

Other victims were even aware that they were being trafficked, but they still take the risk in hope that they can help their families financially. I always blame poverty and lack of opportunity.

Most have no idea they are being trafficked. They are lured into a high paying job, only to when you get to the job and living facility , your passport is taken away from you and you are forced into labor, scam calls, prostitution, many things. I know all about this. I have friends that are in the police here and they tell me the stories, it is unreal what happens. It is bad in Cambodia now but they are moving more into Myanmar and Lao. They target Vietnamese , Filipino, Thai, Malaysian , really any SEA countries it is really bad now

This is really really sad. It should not be that way. Next time I see a "farang" complain about how they got a bad look from somebody I will bring this up. It's really so small thing compared to what these people go through

That's what it is. Literally. Poverty and lack of opportunity. If they had more money, they would not do those things. It's really fucking sad (sorry about the cursing) but I can definitely understand that.

By the way, for the first time here in Thailand I went to disco alone, and just got back home. I wanted to know if they are gonna charge me extra for farang being there alone, and for 2 (big) singha beers they charged me 320 bahts (about 10 bucks) I think it was fair. I was actually sure they were going to charge me extra!!

But no, about the same price last time I was in the same place with several thai people. Good to know.

Wrong country, you see old men with young girls in Thailand, not here.

 

[DiggityDaggityDo]

In Vietnam many women wear traditional dresses called "Áo dài" Depending on the province, some teachers wear it daily, many banks will have the person greeting customers wearing it. You will see women wearing it all over the place . This was a place where I donate some of my time at an orphanage.View attachment 7245

Left. WOW

That is nothing Diggity aka The New Dad, you see it here on a daily basis just in general out and about.

It s game day! Hải Phòng has invaded Hà Nội! It’s our biggest rival and their fans always travel well. Stadium holds 23,000 a good 7-8k will be for them. They travel well. This is their caravan here today. I’ll be at the game! It’s also a letter from the government warning Hải Phòng to not being flares. There is a Hải Phòng fan strapped and ready for tonight. Will be fun! The two cities hate each other not just with soccer but in general.

You can’t compare, much more beautiful girls in Vietnam , less trash. Good luck on finding a genuine girl that likes you in Thailand without a financial deal going on.
