No bible thumper, a dislike of the sex industry along with it's unpleasant aspects of crime, exploitation, STD's depression and substance abuse is not 'hating women' -just the opposite. First there in 1994, thought it was horrible, tried again for a week in 1997, left after one night. Only been back a few time for concerts since. Some people like it, I understand prostitution will always have it's supporters, but don't pretend the place would be what it is without it. Nothing more boring than a conversation with a bar girl you have zero in common with, and who is only talking to you at all to get into your wallet, it really is a mugs game. Pattaya is a national disgrace, just my opinion.
