Oh please. Yes, Thailand has not created the opportunities to lift people out of survival mode. That said, I see young men and women working day in and day out for a pittance doing mind numbing manual labour. Sure the temptation to live a life of crime and reap the easy money must be high. They choose not to and show up every day doing the best they can to get by through “honest work”. I am not bashing those that have chosen a life of prostitution. It’s their life, their choice, and I don’t walk in their shoes. I take issue with the idea that they somehow had no choice. That diminishes those that make the hard choice and show up every day to do “honest work”.
