A fascinating discussion, hope it continues and does not get so heated that it degrades into a battle of personal insults.

In comparison, a similar poverty based class structure exist in Philippines, Laos, cambodia, Colombia, (and Brazil, dominican republic....& others) without the open gay prostitution business structure. is this a legacy of american Korea/vietnam era R&R bases? I have not seen this open (although illegal) gay prostitution system as thailand elsewhere....

In PH subic bay and Angeles City have the remains of their (hetero) prostitution businesses, but not a gay one. Colombian has a legal very active visible hetero prostitution system,..... the gay one is there but submerged, not visible.

the other countries I have no experience in. (well I was in the DR long ago).
