ShortHand: Thai Brides
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE HERE
The cultural phenomenon of Western men seeking romance in exotic lands is nothing new; even with The White Lotus getting everyone talking about 'Losers Back Home'.
But are these harmless cross-cultural love stories? Or basically human trafficking in disguise?
From a woman who brought over 900 Thai women to a tiny fishing town in Denmark to the tragic story of ‘The Lady of the Hills’, this week we’re exploring the surprising history of so-called mail order brides – and uncovering the messy, complicated truth beneath the stereotypes.
