Ethnic minority prostitutes from China in Malaysia and Thailand[edit]
Non-Han Chinese, Ethnic minority women, especially from China's southwestern province like Yunnan are trafficked as prostitutes to southeast asian countries like Thailand and Malaysia. Alot of these women are actually voluntary like the Dai women. They were in demand by Malaysian Chinese clients and some sought to get themselves married to overseas Chinese from those places.

Yunnan women flock to Thai sex industry
— South China Morning PostAug 9, 2004
Poverty drives members of ethnic minority groups to head across the border. Women from at least half the households in some Yunnan counties have worked in the sex industry in Thailand, according to a United Nations report.
There are reports that many Thai hilltribe chil- dren have been trafficked to the nationís urban areas for prostitution. Thailand also draws children from [b]ethnic minorities[/b] in Yunnan Province, China into its sex trade.

Dai Women Willingly Seeking Work as Prostitutes
An increasing number if young women in Yunnan Province are willingly going to Thailand and Malaysia to work as prostitutes or are being ordered by their families to work in brothels in these countries because the money is good. Girls from the Dai minority are particularly sought after in Thailand because they are regarded as beautiful and their language is similar to Thai.
One 20-year-old woman in the Mekong River village of Langle told the New York Times, If you ca't go to Thailand and you are a young woman here, what can you do? You plant and you harvest. But in Thailand and Malaysia I heard it was pretty easy to earn money so I went....All the girls would like to go, but some have to take care of their parents.
The girls work in bars and most of the money they take in tricks goes to their pimp or brothel owner. The money they earn comes from tips by customers. Many make their way across the border hidden in the baggage compartment of buses and hope to get lucky and meet and marry an overseas Chinese or at least bring enough money back for a better life for themselves and their families.
Many are unable to save much even after a couple of years. Some do quite well and this is often reflected by the nice homeswith satellite television, air conditioning, generators and tile designsin the home of their parents. Some families with several daughters live in chateau-like homes with chandeliers, leather-covered sofas, golden Buddhist altars and fancy home entertainment centers. Dai boys often do't like the set up because the girls who return from Malaysia and Thailand come back snobby and do't want to have anything to do with them.
Langle village is in a Dai-Lahu dominated autonomous area- Menglian Dai, Lahu and Va Autonomous County, and it is known for exporting prostitutes to Thailand. Mengbin is a Dai village inside of Langle which thrives on this.
