Nice pictures admin, are all the clubs in Vientiane? The girls are very pretty, I will be sure to visit these places next time I go to Vientiane. Also, how do you even get these photos? Does someone take them for you?

I don't hate prostitutes at all but admin speaks the truth about prostitution being completely optional and there is plenty of other work available, prostitution is just faster for cash. When properly checked and regulated prostitution is great and it should totally be legal. I don't want to find a girlfriend every time I need to relieve my urges. I don't care whether anyone respects them or not
They are a blessing

Prostitutes spread disease and encourage destructive behavior. I would never marry a prostitute or a former prostitute.

99% of prostitutes in Vientiane comes from rural Laos, so the presumption that good Lao girls all come from the countryside isn't always true.

You will rarely see a city girl prostituting because they have family watching over them or they have legitimate ways to earn money.

I could say many things to this but I'll just make it short.

If you think most city girls are good and most country girls are bad then you are just as wrong as someone saying all country girls are good and all city girls are bad.

In the end, it just depends on the individual.

In most of the cities in Laos, you will only find Lao people, except for Luang Prabang where there are Khmu and Hmong people in the cities. There are 100+ ethnic groups in Laos, most of which you will never ever see if you only stick to the cities. Some of the tribes have zero presence in any city, and they do not sell sex either.

I'm reluctant to admit it, but I have good knowledge of prostitutes around Laos. Almost all of the prostitutes in Southern Laos that I talked to said they came from Vientiane and Luang Prabang. About 70% of them were ethnic Lao and the rest were either from Vietnam or they were Khmu. I noticed a lot of Khmu and Hmong girls selling sex but I never found a prostitute from other tribes. Speaking as someone who knows a bit about the tribes in Laos, there are no Khmu people south of Vientiane. So almost every single prostitute I met in southern Laos came from north of Bolikhamsai.

I particularly think the tribal girls of Southern Laos are beautiful, even though a lot of them have dark skin they have pretty faces, and trust me I looked everywhere but I couldn't find any of them selling sex. So your comment about country girls selling sex is only partially true.

Most country girls are decent, respectable people. The way you say it makes it seem like they are all selling their body on the down low. Maybe some of them, but definitely not the majority.

Also, in rural Laos the development of the village depends heavily on the ethnic group. I noticed even in rural Laos, most ethnic Lao villages are heavily modernized and they all have electricity. It's usually the other ethnic groups that have no electricity and still live in grass huts. Yes, many Lao people I met have never even seen a television or ever been to the city. So I'm sure they were not selling sex. Some Lao people in the country can't even speak Lao. I met a lot of Hmongs that can only speak Hmong. So you are not 100% correct admin.

Lol, that bird is so common around Southeast Asia. I've literally seen it everywhere. But I really don't support the smuggling of animals. Makes me sick. Killing them for food I can understand, but I wish we could just let them live in peace in their forest homes.

I could say many things too, but I'll make it short.

At the end of the day prostitution levels in Laos is at a high, regardless where the girls come from.

Brothels and bars doesn't just exist in the city but throughout the countryside as well to cater for the locals in the area. Those who have never seen a television suggests they are the poorest of the poor and are at risk of entering prostitution.

Yes admin I'm aware that it's not just in the cities but even the prostitutes in southern Laos mostly come from the north to work there. Few of the locals of southern Laos are actually selling in southern Laos. And it's mostly Lao Lum people! There are very few tribal Lao people selling themselves and I stand by this claim. Texas, have you ever been to Pa Um, Attape? It's even smaller than Ta Taeng and it has a multitude of brothels. I feel so horrible that Lao women have to do this yet I like to enjoy it sometimes. Btw I love Ta Thaeng. What are you doing in Laos TC? Teaching right?
