The Bangkok Sex Industry & World Tourism....

Want To Have Some Fun Visit Bangkok !!!

Thailand, a country inhabited by an estimated sixty-four million people, consists of a predominantly Buddhist population (95%). The minor religions include Muslim (3.8%), Christianity (0.5%), Hinduism (0.1%), and others (0.6%). Three-fourths of the people are indigenous to Thailand, 14% are Chinese and 11% are of various ethnic backgrounds. Although agriculture is the nation’s leading occupation (54%), the service industry—which includes sexual services—accounts for 31% of all occupations, and industry follows at 15%.

Sex Industry in Bangkok
 Although prostitution has been illegal in Thailand since 1960, it has grown rapidly over the past few decades. Perhaps the most influential factor in this growth has been the US Rest and Recreation stops for GI’s that were located in Thailand in the 1970’s. Today, it is estimated that the prostitution industry brings in anywhere from 2.5-4 billion dollars each year and employs about 200,000 people.

Organization, Locations, and Businesses Involved
Although most workers are women, there are some men and children involved in the sex trade. Most of the women in the industry are only there temporarily. They usually get involved in the business through a friend or relative in Bangkok, partially motivated by financial reasons. As sex workers, they earn more money than they would in most available jobs. Other workers are looking for emotional security or an escape from an abusive relationship at home. Many come from the countryside and despite misconceptions amongst the general public, most workers are not sold into the industry but enter under their own.

The organization of the industry varies. There are many local brothels, or prostitute houses, as well as other venues that offer sexual services. These include, but are not limited to, hotels, go-go bars, restaurants, karaoke bars, dance clubs, and organized sex tours. There are also streetwalking “free-lance” workers and those who work under a pimp. Much of this business is focused around Bangkok in the Patpong, Soi Cowboy, and the Nana Entertainment Plaza areas. However, there are also brothels in the countryside and other areas in Thailand, such as Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and Hat Yai.


SexTourism
 It is highly supported by foreign tourists, who are able to spend more money. Eighty-nine percent of tourists that come to Bangkok are male; most travel from countries such as Japan, Germany, Western Europe, and the United States. Today, much of the advertising for Bangkok is geared towards white-collar corporate businessmen from the West, who come on business trips which usually provide sex package tours at night.

Tour & Travel pakage
Travel agencies design sex package tours as a type of work incentive for firms. These are convenient and include airfare, ground transportation, local guides, sightseeing, and an unlimited number of girls at one’s command. Hotels include meeting rooms for when “night life spills into the workday,” and rooms adjoin restaurants for customers who don’t want to take a waitress back to their hotel. Some hotels have personal prostitutes available upon order, and some even offer to rent out wives for their long-term guests.
