Tuesday night Sept. 9th at 7:00pm the Big Mango Bar will be hosting a party for the sex workers and staff of The Empower Foundation. Workers from all over Thailand, female/male/trans, that work with Empower are in town for a 3-day convention and tomorrow evening the head of Empower has arranged for them all to stop by the Mango for eats and drinks. So basically there will be about 40-50 sex workers from all over Thailand stopping by the Mango tomorrow night.
Will there be free food or any party specials for non-Empower people? Nope. Sorry, but it should be quite the spectacle anyway. If you’re thinking “Wow, 40-50 hot sex workers from all over Thailand in one place? This is like Rainbow 4 but they’ll be wearing clothes, the drinks are cheaper, and there’s no barfine”. Well, I’m not sure what it will be like really but I am sure it won’t be anything like that. My guess is that it will be a bunch of normal Thai people just having a good time.
Sorry for the late notice but just wanted to let folks know in case you are interested in such an event.
Team Mango
Sweet, you can count on me being there.

“Sex workers from all over Thailand converge on the Mango”?
No change there, then ..

@ pmmp - can you really trust the readers of this blog not to turn up, congregate in the corner going ‘frnnar frnnar’ and ‘I wouldn’t… with yours’ all evening? - It’s a shame for the bar that some of your more sophisticated clientele happen to be out of the country at the moment…..
by the way….. sex workers? phwoar !!!!!!

I’ve never understood the term “sex worker” anyway. In my experience, it’s me that does (OK, it is I who do) all the work. I buy the drinks, the condoms, the polystyrene tray of insects, the motosai, the hotel room, the ballerina outfit (wupes … scratch that), the grease gun, the oven mitt full of lard, and the damp copy of Sporting Life, and it is I who labours tirelessly to bring the lucky recipient of all this largesse (and never was the large in largesse writ so bold) to a satisfyingly synapse-popping gland-bursting orgasm. Only when she is a raw shrilling mess of exhausted nerve-ends and her body cavities are scoured and lubricated do my labours cease, and I fall into a deep and well-deserved slumber broken only by the occasional fart and the soft rustle of my long-timer going through my wallet.

Sounds like a free all-you-can-eat buffet where one has to eat before??? Weird!

I dont understand, is this some big joke or what?
The whole site or just this posting?
I mean, uh, there are legitimate foundations that help sex workers out of the business and educate them in some skills, for example vocational school things. And I would not make fun on their expense about getting dudes all into p4p to meet women who are trying to get out of the biz…Bit like asking AA members to meet in some bar and ask others to bring their own free drinks with them on offer.
I think I am not getting the joke.

- I thought ‘Empower’ was the High Performace Department at BMW?

@KV: Easy camper. Go to their website and you may understand this better. Empower is not trying to get girls out of the biz. This distinguishes themselves from other organizations like Goodwill and various religious groups in town. They support the sex worker. They don’t preach that being a sex worker is bad because they don’t think it is. I don’t think it is either btw but many people won’t understand that or, like you did, assume that they exist to impose their morality on others.
You’re gonna have to open that mind up a little here to understand this. I was surprised myself after meeting them for the first time. Some really cool people running this group. Some were in the biz before and just want to help people in the biz now. Not through changing them but with things like free english lessons, health awareness, free condoms, moral support, etc.
I like this group and what they are doing and I’m happy to host a party for them. If sex workers meet bloggers at this party, so what? Everybody is happy. Make sense?

Hey easy on the host’s,
There intentions are good, trying to help out the freelance crew..
dont forget they said there game plan was to have a freelance style bar. This seems like a good way to get the word out to the girls right?
Hope all goes good I will try to run up the soi to check it out myself , prior engagement at another party , but will definitely try to sneak out for a few beers at your place.
Cheers

Nice gesture and a great way to jump-start the place for your initial idea for the “New Mango”. Tell them to Twitter once in awhile with a pic? perhaps. (You can post a pic using Twhirl, but you knew that, right?)
Hope it works out like you’re planning. Did you give WW my free beer? If you did, he’s not saying a word. OTOH, maybe he’s working on his vertical.

Actually I think the AA thing in the bar is well worth consideration - drinks maybe 15% off, you know to really get things rolling…

Hmm…put a group of reforming bar girls together with a bunch of half-cut n horny Mango regulars and I have my doubts as to whether this is such a great idea…
Can’t help thinking about the bloke at the AA meet who stands up and says “Anyone fancy a pint?”.
View all comments by Combover
co - u seem to be confused like KV. This is not a group of reforming bargirls. They are people currently working in the industry, helping people that are in the industry(not talking them out of it) or other groups in supporting rules. My guess is a good portion of them are current bargirls, boys and LBs attending the conference.
Urge u to check the link about empower - u might be enlightened.

Ok, for those of us who could not be there — what happened?
If the event was really great, lie a bit, tone it down. Don’t make it hurt more than necessary.
