Good advice from LivinLOS and Disbusta. Those girls send a lot of money to the family, so that dad can drink with his friends, then drive around in the pick-up she is paying and F**K girls younger than his daughter. Everybody in the family knows how she is making money, but pretends that she works in an office or shop in BKK.
Of course they need money all the time. Why else would they come from Issan to BKK or Phuket or Pattaya. There is no social security so the young ones must look after the old ones.
So normally I would not send any. They get enough when I am in Thailand. But if it is only 5000 and only 1 time, do it if you can afford it. See it as an investment in the future (if you want to go back to the same girl).
I know a lady for 9 years (widowed), not in the bar circuit and not in Phuket. University educated, working in an office and farming shrimps in Nakhon Si Thammarat. Her mother has 69 rai of shrimpfarm, but she has 7 sisiters and 1 brother. When I see her, I allways give her a closed envelope with some money, that she used to pay for her son's school. In those 9 years she asked only 1 time for money, about 5 years ago. Her sister finished university and wanted to enter the police force as an officer. The family had to give 250000 Baht for entering. Seems police officers have a good social security and also the parents get the same advantages. I sent 25000.
Her sister is now a police officer in BKK and her son will enter Mahidon university for doctor this year. So I have no regrets what so ever, on the contrary.
