Understanding Thamel and Sex Work Perspectives

I'll suck, I'll f**k, I'll massage, I'll go to the bathroom. That's me talking to an illegal sex worker at Thamel. If you go, they'll come to you without a reason.

Right? They'll say it's going to be fine. It's going to be fine, right?

3000? In an hour. Some people might think that I'll be a girl if they see the name of the shorts I have on my viral board.

They'll come. It's not even 1000. But why am I doing this? Let's start from the beginning. I'll talk to him in just a minute. Just a minute.

People usually think that Tamil is a place where girls are raised, right? Yes, it's like that in the market. What? Boys and girls are confused.

But now you know it's illegal, right? Sex working out in Nepal, right? Yes, but who will do it?

Who will do it? It's illegal. It's illegal.

It's illegal. It's illegal. It's illegal.

So you've been working in Thamel for 18-19 years? 18-19 years. 18-19? Thamel is a place where you can find girls.

Yes. You think so? Yes. You don't know?

Yes. So you've been working in Thamel for 2-3 years. You're the owner of a shorts bar.

You can see it here too? Yes, you can see it here. You can see it in clubs too. Many people have asked me if I can find girls here, even if they see the name of the shorts I'm wearing on my pirate board. They'll come and ask me if I can find girls.

That's unbelievable. Shorts like ComShort, Blowsup, Ponstar, etc. are being thrown away. Yes, these types of shorts are really existing. They are being given in rooms and then they are being taught by the teachers.

Oh man, I have heard such impressions. They are teaching girls who are good at it, that when they are normal, other boys will call them prostitutes and beat them up. Man, that's tough. It's very difficult.

This is what happens in Jharada. When you are trying to get opinions from other locals, Unsurprisingly, many people were not willing to speak with us. But what do Thamel think about other places on Friday night?

What comes to your mind first when you hear the word Thamel? Party bro. Party, right?

Music. Music. Party.

Party, right? Club. Nightlife. Nightlife, right? I want to go to Seoul.

Nightlife. Party, clubs, right? But what do people who don't know about Thamel think about?

The red light area. Exactly, man. Are they girls or boys?

Girls, right? There are. There are girls and boys.

It's normal here. It's normal here. I have my own mentality.

I am here to party, to drink, to party, music, drink, and then to go home. People think that they can get a girl here. But it's not like that. People come here. They come here for the same reason.

They come here to meet you. Fortunately, Other locals here are talking to us in a very interesting way. People in Nepal don't say that it's a good place.

That's where the first impression of the people comes. Yes, exactly. They think of Thamel as a red light area.

Exactly, brother. It's not that obvious. But not everyone is like that.

But people think of Thamel as a place where girls can get married. That's not true. That's not true. No, it's not.

It's not true. It's not true. It's not true. Not everyone thinks like that.

If we get to Thamel like this, it will be a little bit of a problem. That's what I'm saying. Yes, we should not give negative tags. We should give positive tags. It is a place where we can enjoy.

If you are enjoying this video, please subscribe to my channel. Please subscribe. We should change that. Yes, you are right.

Not only women from the field, but also women from the household are coming. They are coming to see how the food is. Everyone should not look at it that way. I have been to many places in the field of interview videos. Every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, I would come here So, I would notice everything Basically, in this row, in this line There are prostitutes and sex workers It would be like that And obviously, if I don't believe it The person who has been working here for 7 years How can I believe it?

It would be visible It would be visible while talking to someone That's why it's so loud Because we can judge from looks It's like a live deal So, we are going that way We are going to the other side I think I have seen many prostitutes here before. I mean sex workers. You must have remembered that.

Yes, I still remember. You must be coming here now. Yes, I do.

I see some people walking down the street. They say they go there. I think there are many prostitutes here. Even at VIPs. Yes, at VIPs.

I see many prostitutes here. We are going to the same place, right? Thank you so much, Ajju. And obviously, he is also a local who has been working here for years. Last time, I was so late at night, I was so busy that I was about to make my last interview video.

But if this place used to feel like a red light area, you can see the changes now. It's 10-15 now. It used to be 11-12 at night.

Especially for boys, right? Now, we are going to a place called Brotherly, where we used to go as VIPs. And fortunately, we met one of our subscribers during that VIP. So, my goodness, I was going to...

Thank you so much. Do you see any prostitutes here? Yes, I do.

What time is it now? It's 10 pm. It's 10.15 pm.

It's half an hour. We'll be back in 30 minutes. It's not 11, it's 11 o'clock.

But I don't see any sex workers like before. There are a lot of stores open now. There are a lot of women too.

So, they might be sitting now. So, our next option is the VIP lounge car. It has a lot of chances. So once again, we are just before the VIP launch. I'm tired and sleepy, but we're gonna interact with a sex worker.

We'll interact, we'll interview, and we're gonna make it happen tonight. So now you can see the whole thing Can you see? Zoom in I obviously kept our cameraman in a place where we can't see the stars And unfortunately, since it's night and our camera is also dark, it would be a little difficult to rotate the camera How many?

How many people? One person Show me 3000 3000? I'm going to do massage, fucking, all of that.

What all? I'm going to do everything. I'm going to do massage, fucking, all of that.

Why? Tell me. How much do you want?

Isn't it in 1000? No, I'm going to give you 2000. So, from when did you come here? From 10. 10?

I didn't see you before. You came here. I came here today at 11. Yeah. I'm going to take you.

Hello Do you have 1000 rupees? No No? Can I have 50 rupees?

What? Can I have 50 rupees? How much?

50 rupees I am watching your videos Thank you What kind of videos do you have? I am doing a YouTube video I am doing an international video What is the name? I am doing a vlog What is the name? It's called Foreal What?

Foreal Foreal Is it expensive? I don't think so. I'm going to the bathroom. What's wrong?

Tell me. I'm going to the toilet. How much? I'm going to the toilet in 30 minutes.

When? Last night. Last night?

I'm going to the toilet. I'm going to the toilet. Now you guys, whether to talk or not, when I was talking to him, I was nervous. And I couldn't tell him about the interview.

But then... Excuse me. How much is it?

One person 3000 for one person 3000? For one hour For one hour? This time again I was very busy and obviously I was nervous But I didn't give up again Come Isn't it enough to just talk? It's enough to just talk, it's enough to go No, it's not enough to interview I obviously requested him for an interview I wouldn't have done it if I didn't show my face And in fact I requested him for a few times No, don't talk too much, I'll give you a thousand rupees You have to show your face I didn't have any intention of revealing his face But I wanted to tell you the conversation I had with him But when he said he didn't want to waste my life for a thousand rupees And that it was my job Man, I I don't think I will say anything after that I don't think I will reveal their voice because many girls have similar voice so I don't know what to say I don't think I will tell anyone else about the interview so that's it Earlier, 11.40, obviously, there was a lot of stuff like prostitution and all. But Thamel's impression is wrong.

Thamel's impression is not like that. If it was a little bit, it would be better to judge Thamel. That was it.

It's been a pleasure. It's your job to analyze people. Typically, when people do a job, they think there is no platform to do it.

Yes, but that is understandable.
