Well what a shock if your to believe the powers that be here pristitution does not happen, considering its been happening for probably thousands of years, but it use to be called slave trading.
After the most amusing sketch on American TV do you think they will ever change, and up hold the laws, if course now when corruption from the Top is the biggest business living off prostitution.
So keep paying those Boys I don't hear any complaining,
only the lower the season the more keen they seen to be........... :pottytrain1:
"Although it is labeled as such a disgraceful job, Thailand has become famous for prostitution around the world. Or perhaps тАЬinfamousтАЭ would be a better word. Recently, the well-known American TV show, тАЬSaturday Night Live,тАЭ had a short comedy skit, тАЬRosetta Stone Thai,тАЭ which insulted Thailand.
It showed foreign men wanting to learn the Thai language, because they wanted to visit Thailand to talk to Thai prostitutes and pay for their sexual services. So the comedy actors were learning Thai phrases like, тАЬHow much?тАЭ and тАЬIs that for the whole night?тАЭ It is noteworthy that audience members were laughing very loudly, showing that Americans knew all about ThailandтАЩs sex industry.
After that embarrassing episode, Mr. Sonthaya Khunpluem from ThailandтАЩs Ministry of Culture sent a letter to inform the U.S. Embassy in Thailand. He explained that the TV clip really damaged the image of Thailand and requested that whoever posted it to remove it. The comedy clip only shows a one-sided view of Thailand, Mr. Sonthaya protested. More preferable would be a documentary with a more balanced view of prostitution, instead of treating it as a joke.
To be honest, prostitution is a reality in Thailand because of so many poor people who are barely surviving. However difficult it is to accept that reality, prostitution has always existed and not just in Thailand. There are many venues of prostitution, ranging from women selling themselves on the streets, or in entertainment centers, or even advertising online.
The question is, why has prostitution become so huge inThailand that it is now famous for it? Although it is illegal, prostitution is still going on nearly everywhere in Thailand, especially in the big cities visited by tourists like Bangkok and Pattaya. Surprisingly, Thailand is a Buddhist country, which makes it seem strange that prostitution would be allowed to flourish. Thai women love to be prudent, yet there are a still a lot of working prostitutes.
For the most part, when the prostitutes are asked about why they are in the sex industry, they tend to give similar reasons. They might say their friends persuaded them to be waitresses or bar girls. But soon enough they discovered that giving тАЬextra serviceтАЭ could earn them a lot more money. Then they got to enjoy having a very good income, which they often send back home to support parents or their children with no father.
Most Thai prostitutes grew up in very poor families. So they had to struggle, and ended up working in the entertainment spots, which donтАЩt require them to have any degrees or special skills. Prostituion is a shortcut for so many women, and can make them successful in a very short time.
Thailand has become a desirable place in the minds of foreigners to have sex cheaply with attractive Thai females. On the other side of the coin, a growing trend for male prostitutes is emerging, with people in its inner circles knowing where such services exist.
As long as the laws against prostitution are not enforced, and no reasonable alternatives are available for poor women, Thai people have to accept the truth that prostitution will continue in Thailand and remain widely available all over the country."
