Foreign men travel to Thailand seeking cheap sexual services from vulnerable workers. Most visitors are older males between 50 and 60 who become temporary residents for months or years. Younger British men also arrive for bachelor parties and vacation celebrations.

Thai sex workers face terrible conditions and exploitation. Many girls start working before age 18 after families force them into prostitution for survival money. Boys as young as 14 serve male clients who specifically request underage partners.

Thailand made prostitution illegal during 1960 but cannot stop the widespread industry. Red light districts operate openly across major cities like Bangkok. Police raids target underage workers but the business continues growing.

Western men choose Thailand over legal prostitution in their home countries for two main reasons. Sexual encounters cost around $20 compared to $100 or more in Europe and America. Men also enjoy complete anonymity far from family and friends who might discover their activities.

The Thai government recently considered legalizing prostitution after workers signed petitions requesting legal protection. AIDS spreads rapidly among unprotected workers who cannot afford medical care. International pressure grows for Thailand to crack down on child trafficking and forced labor in the sex trade.
