Thailand’s prostitution laws out of step with reality

By The Thaiger

Despite firm denials that prostitution is a ‘thing’ in Thailand and the high-level narrative that prostitution in the Land of Smiles is just an outdated type-cast, the evidence to the contrary remains obvious, in plain sight, any night of the week.

 

A “Review of the prevention and suppression of prostitution laws project” seminar was held at the Thammasat University Tha Prachan campus in June aiming to formalise and zone sex-related activities in Thailand. The report recommends the country’s sex industry be controlled under the authority of the Department of Local Administration.

 

Thai PBS reports that Law lecturer Akawat Laowonsiri says Thailand is obliged to protect the rights of sex workers and is a signatory to  international commitments like the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

Fake news.

There is no prostitution in Thailand. - It's ILLEGAL !

 

Just ask Pattaya police

And they make a test ride for free to find out that they don't exist?

Well, the pickins are pretty slim here in HH, but there are a few cuties. It helps to increase your alcohol intake.

They should allow women to legally work as freelancers and pay taxes.

No need for any middle man to gain profits over their work.

Those two sentences contradict each other...

 

But yeah - either make it completely legal and leave them be, or keep the situation as-is and leave them be. If they actually managed to reduce prostitution they'll be hurting the women and hurting tourism. As much as TAT hates to admit it, prostitution is one of the main reasons many (most?) tourists come to Thailand.

 

I don't see any contradiction.

 

Tax payment is an action that should serve you back in the form of various services that the country provides for you as security, health, roads ..etc

Ideally, none of this money should go to anyone's private pocket.
