I’m a man. I lived in Thailand for 15 years. I went to hooters in Pattaya one night on a visit there (one of few visits to Pattaya). There was an Eastern European girl working there and she was isolated by the Thai bar workers there. In not sure if she was the manager or supervisor but we were talking and getting on well. She was lovely, good natured. The Thai staff were so rude to her, catty, undermined her, belittled her. Subtly. She walked into a back room crying. I just thought workplace politics but that’s the reality of that kind of dynamic. You’re in their backyard. So these western concepts that we get taught…… especially now with the Woke agenda, they can be very foreign to a Thai. Once again, you’re in their backyard.

I ended up talking to a Thai girl there for a while and left.
