short GETAWAY...

Well..back from a quick stop to BangKok  for the weekend and all well fed and a bit more relaxed than when i flew back from  Europe. Still feeling the jetlag...they say its one day for every hour...i was falling asleep bang on the dot.. 7pm in Bangkok... no matter where i was or what i was doing...quite honestly i think i could have slept for the whole of this weekend...

I personally love Thailand... who doesn't ?? the weather is beautiful.. the people are beautiful.....food is great -  the perfect thing for me would be to have a lovely beach spot and just retire from fashion and write memoirs...

need to get back in the swing of things... catch up with work.. and very excited at all of the new projects in hand...

On this short trip.. something surfaced again..One rant i need to have though is.... through a few incidents this time.. it makes me very angry..

i hate seeing all of the tubby male foreigners who seem to adopt the local girls and boys.. some treat them well...and some treat them like a piece of meat... i don't want to stereotype... but its been years of seeing the same thing...and its downright degrading to humankind and females and boys alike.. this is the seedy side that is not so apparent......it feels closer to heart being a woman who has lived both sides of the globe...some of these men could be nothing back at home with the same manners that are so appalling... they would never be able to get away with it back at home..always see alot of it when i am in Thailand..and other south asian countries.. and it is very sad.. but again these are choices we make in life.. not everyone is so lucky...i guess it works to the benefits of both sides....pays the bills for some.. raises the economy...

Thats all for now..

I have always wondered why Thailand doesn't try and protect its children better from being victims of prostitution. This country now has the reputation as the go-to country for sexual tourism because children of both sexes are so readily prostituted. Who is providing these children to the foreign sex tourists? Why is it tolerated? There are plenty of other poor countries around the globe that do not exploit the country's future in such a tragic manner. Sexual abuse of anyone, but especially children, is a horrendous crime that destroys lives forever. The acts may stop, but the damage is very difficult to repair. I work for an agency that treats child victims of sexual abuse and violence so I have seen the damage and its consequences into the next generation and for generations to come. Who in Thailand is willing to speak out and get laws changed (or enforced) to stop this abuse? It must start with the citizens of Thailand having had enough of this exploitation of their childen and youth by foreigners and citizens.
