There is still a situation here of the old East/West marriage of convenience. A beautiful young Asian girl attaches herself to an (often) aging, fat, balding guy - read: not attractive in his own country/environment. He offers her a way out and up, and she is a pretty little thing on his arm to strut in public.
We've also came across lots of notices and advice to travelers to 'honour our children' (i.e don't support the underage sex trade). We understand it's especially prevalent in Thailand, but Cambodia obviously has a lot of orphans who are bait for this sort of thing.
At our beautiful spa in Hue, there suddenly appeared on the other side of the pool a fat, 40/50ish guy, poured into a suit, having obviously wedding photos taken with this gorgeous slim young thing in a stunning red dress. All these lovely young attractive Vietnamese men, some really sharp dressers and obviously successful...but she opts for the meal ticket out no doubt.
Ted worked with guys from Indonesia at Bow Valley, one of whom managed to spirit his woman on to the Indonesian rig and thence back to Canada. On arrival, she dumped him! Point made.
