I wish they’d work harder on solving their STD issue. When I trained there while in The Marines in 97 it was well known that Thailand was the STD and child sex market of the world. Each place has their differing demons.
My first trip there we were doing a MEDCAP down south, the only STD we saw was a young girl who got it from her father. The Thai soldiers working with us arrested him when it was discovered. While both problems you have mentioned do exist, the Thai’s have worked hard to clean up their act.
