Acclaimed director Monica Garnsey takes a critical look at global sex tourism, focusing on the situation in Venezuela and Thailand.
Part 2: Girlfriend for Sale
In Isaan, north-east Thailand, the local girls have long since ceased to rely solely on the rice-crop to feed their families. Much more money can be made out of the sex tourists who flock to Bangkok or Pattaya to sample Thailand%27s famously beautiful and accommodating women. Told entirely from the women%27s point of view, this film
explores the multiple ways that a nice Isaan girl can make a living from a foreigner.
In the village of Konkaen, a foreign husband and a posh western house has become a dream for many local girls. The fastest method is to go Bangkok to work as a bar-girl, the euphemism for prostitute. Many bar-girls come back to the village triumphant, foreign husband in tow.
The film moves between sleepy Isaan, where letter-writer Ponpilai plays cupid by writing emails for the girls who%27ve met a foreign man but can%27t communicate with him; and the frenetic world of the red light district in Bangkok, where Mamasan Jip runs a lucrative %27ladydrink%27 brothel bar in Bangkok, and promises her girls not only a good salary, but the best possible chance to meet a foreign husband.
It%27s worked for Fon, a savvy bar-girl who now has a Birmingham builder as a boyfriend. But Lek, a single mum used only to village life, is not sure that she%27s got what it takes to survive at Mamasan Jip%27s bar.
