AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Amsterdam's red-light district will soon get a new attraction: a statue to honor prostitutes around the world.

The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news agency ANP reported.

"In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength," Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who commissioned the statue, told ANP.

ANP said the statue, made of bronze, shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world.

Short answer is NO.

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand.

A: no.

It doesn't add anything to the OP though.

On her hands and knees?

Many of the prostitutes in South East Asia are a combination of hostess, nurse, sex worker, and company for the old and lonely. They work hard for their money and keep many men from suicide or going insane.

They deserve all the money that they can make and at least a few probably deserve Sainthood!

Will this be in the Sex Museum?
