brewsterbudgen Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Thailand is not the world biggest brothel. Measured by prostitutes per capita, the prostitution density in Germany is higher. While it is doubtful who should be counted as a "prostitute" in Thailand. Indeed. And while "brothels" are illegal in Thailand, prostitution isn't!

Dumbastheycome Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 There seems to be a general confusion about the definition of a prostitute. A prostitute is an individual who sells time for sexual activity on the basis of a very limited time and without any view to a longer term association other than being a regular customer perhaps. By contrast are the significant number who feature in certain tourist locations who may indeed prostitute themselves as a means of survival and familial support whilst in search of a long term relationship which be satisfactory to All concerned. Please note I do not mention " romance" . I have long been amused by the existence of a wonderful little book titled " The get Rich Quick Book for Bargirls ". Embassies should insist it be a handout with any ticket to Thailand ! However that does not retract anything from the genuine motivation and mindset of those who seek a relationship based on the mutual personal aspects. And such does happen very often without media featuring. Sadly what happens more often is that some western social and as often financially long term devoid reject happens upon an optimistic Thai who s lead to believe bs and is sufficiently attracted. The result? Short time at maximum payout! Overall it should be contemplated what has made the situation that some claim Thailand is famous for. Many try to imply/ convince that it is a Thai motivation. Why not instead consider that the motivation stems from non Thai who have quite deliberately created a situation which a small percentage of Thai are willing to take advantage of.The failure of those who with ignorant arrogant condescension try to portray Thai as being totally at fault obviously have never learned to appreciate " Caveat Emptor ". The fact remains that Thailand is not in general a destination specifically for the sex industry. Instead it is in specific locations where those who seek such specifically choose as a destination but because of their wn small minds think it represents Thailand! Not once have I seen any direct reference ( which I may have likely missed) to comparative "Red Light" districts in any western destination !

This is clearly not true. Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, read the law if you not believe it. But as for many other things the law is not respected, because there are too many to take profit out of it (from police to tourism industry, from prostitutes to politicians). Thailand is a deeply conservative society, with lots of hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostitution is regulated and aspects of it like running a brothel and soliciting are illegal, but paying for sex is not.Sent from my SM-A500F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddhalady Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The sex industry is worldwide, and has been in existence for several thousand years. Where there’s demand, there will always be supply. However, whilst it can’t be eradicated, it can be controlled as regards regulation, proper care of its workers including medical care and protection against criminal infiltration. Controls, however, are certain to be only temporary. Take the Netherlands, for example. Brothels are legal, and any found to be linked with organised crime are swiftly shut down. The De Wallen red light district is famed as a destination for international sex tourists. Sex workers pay tax on their earnings, and the government is working to weed out trafficking and drug use as well as helping women who want to leave the ‘profession’. Sadly, even the best official intentions there may be losing the battle against infiltration by Eastern European crime gangs involved with money laundering, drugs and trafficking. Here in Thailand….hell will freeze over before a sensible approach is even suggested, never mind implemented. Whilst men still want a right to instant sex, the negatives will always follow.

Relations between Thai men and women are mostly determined by economical contracts. I predict a LARGE uprising under the tens of millions of Thai men who avail themselves of these services. It's the same as telling a Frenchman he can't have a mistress or that a Dutchman can't have his cheese and eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themerg Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I first came to Thailand in 1972 with The US Air Force at U-Tapao to help bomb Vietnam. I was 18 years old. The sex industry was for the money for the Thai people and the entertainment of the soldiers. The soldiers are gone. The sex industry is still here. As bad as a lot of people don't want to hear it , the sex industry is as much a part of the Thai economy as Ladyboys are. The sex industry is necessary for the economy in Thailand . The sex industry buys alcohol, sexy clothing, real estate, furniture, accessories, lighting, cosmetics, soap, skin care products. The sex industry is here to stay, LEAVE IT ALONE. Arrest the REAL CRIMINALS, the ones who are taking bribes and allowing others crimes to be committed. I am talking about the see-nothing and do-nothing police, military and politicians. Arrest the organized crime factions that are in Bangkok, Pattaya, and everywhere in Thailand. Without the sex industry they would be 20 million more STARVING Thai people. Did you ever hear of Sex Tourism ? Sex tourism is a big business in Thailand.
