Summary::
Today’s episode is the 3rd and final in the installment of interviews from Thailand, and also the most impactful, touching, and emotional. There is no other way to describe Thip than “extraordinary.” And I have no doubts that you will agree after hearing this interview. She was born in Thailand with a hard life right off the bat, as her parents had wanted a boy, not a girl. As she went through life, she continued to encounter struggle after setback, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll find yourself wondering how one person could endure so much. On this interview, Thip is completely open and brutally honest about everything she encountered through life, so this episode is not one to take lightly. You’ll hear her discuss working in the “bar” or “restaurant”, which means Brothel, which the town of Pattaya has no shortage of.
If you find yourself tearing up at this story, join the club, I was a mess. But by the end, you’ll hear about how she, with the help of her faith, is stepping each day into a better life. Currently, Thip is the translator for the women who are attending Shear Love, the hair school I visited in Thailand that helps get women out of prostitution and into a career they are passionate about.
Thip is amazing at speaking English, but, of course, speaks Thai primarily, so I give her so much credit for sitting down to this interview without a prior outline. So join us on this glimpse of life and work in Thailand.
