[quote=Anonymous][quote]You folks have just been blundered by the media that has focused on one scandalous area. Thailand. They don't focus on London. Or Paris. Or Rome. Or Florence. But the same shit happens there. [/quote]

I'm the Returned Peace Corps Volunteer from early in the thread.  I saw it first hand and it wasn't in just one area.  There wasn't a single place in the entire country that prostitution wasn't readily available.  The bigger the place, the more options. I worked for a provincial government office and at the holiday parties the office through, the boss hired prostitutes to 'entertain'.  They often double as singers (singing is a big thing in Thailand and everyone does it). I also know a number of families whose DD's were sent to be 'housekeepers' in large cities - they weren't exactly keeping house. The families were too poor to support the kids and the girls didn't have many options.  It's heartbreaking.   What was even harder was going to visit friends doing HIV education/prevention.  Crushing.

So, no, it's not being 'blundered' by the media.  I saw it first hand.  Oh, I've also been to London, Paris, Rome and Florence (and a lot of other places).  In addition to Thai, I also speak German, Italian, Russian and Romanian.  I've seen a lot of prostitution in a lot of places but nothing that rivals Thailand.

But, if this weren't a solo trip, I'd be all for OP and her DH going.  It's a fabulous place.  I just have to question why a married guy would go there solo for vacation.  [/quote]
