The Sex Industry in Thailand
Thailand has had a long and complex relationship with prostitution that persists
today. It is also an international sex tourism destination, a designation that began
around the time of the Vietnam War. The industry targeted to foreigners is very vis-
ible with multiple red-light districts in Bangkok alone, but there is also a more
clandestine domestic sex industry and myriad informal channels of sex-for-hire.
