4 days confidence:
female commercial sex worker Explanation: The source term does not explicitly state that the services are sexual but the meaning is implicit, as Robin stated, and the register is similar so this seems like a close equivalent. Since อาชีพ shifts the focus from the person to the profession, an alternate translation might be "commercial sex work" (leaving the gender unstated). https://www.researchgate.net/publication/27802389_phvtikrrmthangphes_laeakhwamkhidhentxchay_thimachibrikarthangpheskhxnghyingbrikar Reference: http://www.thaithesis.org/detail.php?id=44060 |
