You think sex with children is refreshing...?Phaic Tan, travel book [ISBN 174066 110 9]

I love Thailand. Yes, I've been there.
Like the Palace of the king
No, I did not do anything related to anything sexual while there. Gasp, I had a great time despite this! Golly gee, you mean Thailand isn't all about buggering children? Ah yup.
If you get the chance, go to Thailand, it's a great country and they like Americans. If I had to pick another country in the world to live in, Thailand would be it.
Thailand is a tourist destination for men who want to have sex with children. Not many nations have that kind of industry as a tourism draw.
How amoral and/or desperate must a guy be to stalk underage girls or boys in SE Asia?
I studied in Thailand for a short while. I greatly enjoyed my time exploring almost the entire country (stayed away from the jungled borders) and I would love to go back.
People don't realize that the deviant sexual activity is tolerated only by a few. The majority disapprove. The problem, most likely, is that the matriarchal societies of the hill tribes traditionally viewed prostitution as something that was a great job for women. As in, "Men are so stupid for PAYING us to do these small things for them." Women would traditionally go down to the city for a life of prostitution for a few years so they could save up a nice nest egg to build a good rice house. When that attitude was mixed with the numerically larger patriarchal society of the Thais, it became toxic. Every westerner should be familiar with how a patriarchal society views prostitution, after all...prostitutes are stupid, worthless people who are so detestable that they will sink to selling their bodies. The hill tribes did not change their view of prostitution until the onset of STDs, when men began to want younger and younger girls so that they would be "clean." Now there is so much money in prostitution that the brothels can pay off the police to even return their 11 year old runaways back to the brothels.
Just a small history/culture lesson, and one I learned from a Hmong man (hill tribe) who was a Thai professor at Silpakorn University.
Thai women are extremely modest and will not wear tank tops or shorts, either. Their bathing suits are usually black and have sleeves and a longish skirt. They do not date until they are at least 18 (usually), and they are very shy and innocent about sexual matters. Just as a general rule, of course.
