Summary Of Current Thai View

How such a minor issue to most Thai’s

From the Bangkok Post August 29, 1999 by Jaime Cabrera

Thai leaders prefer to keep prostitution out of sight, as much as possible-if not out of mind. This attitude of sweeping the dirt under the rug creates the illusion that prostitution is a marginal, dismissable byproduct of society. So no wonder, when international publications highlight commercial sex in Thailand, some Thai leaders react in anger or denial. And no wonder that their responses generated even more press. But the common konthai (Thai people) on the streets find all that irrelevant, for sex is an established income-generating industry in Thailand. It took root in traditional practices, grew through the large numbers of male migrant workers and military (during World War II, the Korean and Vietnam wars), and blossomed in the 1970s due to promotions for both mass tourism and sex tourism.

Curiously, there has been many publications about sex in Thailand, and many of them are available in Bangkok bookstores. None have been pulled out of the shelves by any ministerial order.

For instance, when Ryan Bishop and Lillian S. Robinson wrote that Thailand's "economic miracle" was a success because tourism-heavily dependent on the sex industry-brought in $4 billion per year, nary a peep was heard from Thai bigwigs. (Night Market: Sexual Cultures and the Thai Economic Miracle, 1998.)A research paper, Prostitution in Thailand and Southeast Asia, not only rolled out statistics and footnotes to build its case, it pointed out that Thailand and the Philippines were playing the role of "whorehouse to the world".

All over the world, countries are coming to grips with the prostitution situation in different ways. South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan have all legalised prostitution. In Indonesia, it is legal only in Jakarta.

However, commercial sex is everywhere, even in countries where it is illegal. For instance, Cambodia has a strictly controlled sex industry, while India, Indonesia, Japan, Mongolia, the Philippines, and the United Arab Emirates-same as Thailand-tolerate it despite laws that clearly outlaw the selling of sexual services. Prostitution is illegal in Vietnam and in Pakistan but private prostitution is active.

Some aspects of prostitution may seem unique to Thailand, such as debt bondage. However, although it is prevalent in Thai provinces as the most common doorway to prostitution, debt bondage to prostitution is even more widespread in India, Burma, Nepal China, and Pakistan.

Thailand may feel that its Patpong and Soi Cowboy and the Golden Mile in Pattaya are affronts to national dignity, but these streets are infinitesimal when compared to major sex spots elsewhere in the world. In Singapore alone, there are five red light districts: Geylang, Flanders Square, Keong Siak, Desker, and Tanjong Pagar. Then there are the geisha districts of Japan, the infamous alleys of China, and that's just in Asia. Europe and the Americas have a yet more blatant history of commercial sex compared to Asian nations.

Sex is well-advertised in Thailand, so embarassing the more proper segments of society. Tourist magazines, taxi and tuk-tuk drivers, neon lights and handbills ensure that the new visitor quickly knows what's on offer. Escort services, massage parlours, and saunas advertise thinly-disguised sex services in almost all dailies in Thailand.

But elsewhere in the world, advertising is even more hardsell and even more hardcore. In New Zealand, where there are no legal pronouncements on prostitution, sex advertising is even aired on radio.

Sex ads in magazines and daily newspapers are common in Spain, Switzerland, Scotland, Germany, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, and the US. By comparison, sex advertising in Thailand is minor.

She meant they export professional women!!!

Hookers?

It's not against TOS to say "all Filipinas suck", because it's not a "personal" attack.

Smoke take a deep breath and just calm down.
