Aj Mick Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The reality is that certain people do rather nicely out of the erratically, only occasionally enforced law as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a regular punter down soi 6 Pattaya and observed first hand the police working the soi with no attempt at subterfuge; cracking down on some bars if the protection money was slow in coming.

GreenerGrass Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 My first thought being the obvious, the whole country and it's laws especially road safety are somewhere between the twilite zone and the game pacman!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowboat Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 In Hong Kong, it is legal and is rarely news. In petty corners of Thailand, it is talked about far too much. It happens in many parts in Asia and is no big deal. Why does basket case Thailand always seem to find troubles where other countries do not ? It use to be such a great country.

ExpatPH Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thailand’s prostitution laws out of step with reality Not only prostitution laws, Immigration laws are very out of reality, hence less tourist arrivals.

Emdog Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I would like to see a reputable business school (is there one?) do a study regarding the economic impact on Isaan region from prostitution.

That is just a myth, Pattaya did become a haven for GI's during WW2 and set the course for what it is today. However prostitution has been around for 1000s of years on every corner of the earth including Thailand! Thailand would like to blame prostitution on us westerners, the reality is we make up about 10% of the customer base! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course players part with funds and the job of the worker is to take that money and negotiate for as much as they can. This is why I have never understood how any government can legislate what women and men (Boys town) do with their bodies. As long as a woman or man is considered an adult, I do not see how a government can make laws on how they make a living. Laws are made to protect general safety and protect against abuses of citizens rights. Just like a plumber, chef, maid - a working girl or boy has a right to offer a service and people have a right to engage those services - end of story.

simtemple Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 In a country that fails to provide or enforce the payment of child support to abandoned mothers it's little wonder that the black economy includes millions of women, forced by economic necessity, into prostitution. Through it's complete failure to protect women and children, the Government is, in effect, contributing to the growth of sex trafficking in Thailand.

Women have a choice whether to become pregnant. Women have a choice of how to make money to support their livelihood. Government should not use taxpayers money to support those who make bad choices. I do not think anyone is "forced" into prostitution, or sex trafficking whatever words you prefer. Government should stay out of it , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hey, I know her! Her name is Noi. This pic is very misleading.
