In a heartfelt Facebook post, a Thai woman identified as A. shared her personal story, shedding light on the challenges and misconceptions surrounding her work in a Malaysian disco. A., who previously worked in a Singaporean club, explained that her decision to work in the entertainment industry was driven by the desire to financially support her family and son back in Thailand.
A. expressed her frustration with the negative stereotypes associated with working as a Thai girl in a disco. She emphasized that her work does not involve theft or robbery; rather, she engages in dancing, with men willingly contributing money for flowers and lap dances. A. firmly asserted that her body, even when dressed more provocatively, remains her own, and she sees nothing wrong with using it to provide for her family.
“No steal, no rob”
The Thai woman urged people not to look down on Thai girls working in such establishments and pleaded against the use of derogatory terms or accusations of breaking up families. A. acknowledged that she and her colleagues might share drinks and engage in social activities with men who have partners, but emphasized that they never force anyone into such situations. She stressed that their work does not make them bad individuals and pointed out that the responsibility lies with those in relationships to maintain their commitment.
A., who has a son waiting for her at home, expressed pride in her identity as a Thai girl and concluded her post by emphasizing the importance of understanding and respecting the choices individuals make to support their families, even if unconventional.
