Thread: No Go-Go Bars: Thailand to Oppose 'Sex Tourism'

The country known for famous cuisine, Buddhist temples, friendly people and beautiful beaches is now opposing any form of sex tourism.

The Thai tourism body released a statement saying that in order to make Thailand a quality destination; sex tourism will not be tolerated.

"The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) ensures that it’s marketing strategy and policy to move Thailand forward as the 'Quality Destination' has stepped in the right direction… and strongly opposes any form of sex tourism," TAT said in a statement late on Wednesday.

Thailand is expected to welcome a record 37.55 million tourists this year and although prostitution is illegal it is tolerated and there are thousands of brothels across the country. Notorious Go-Go bars in Bangkok and brothels offering soapy massages have bolstered Thailand's reputation as a sex destination.

However, despite the statements by the tourism body, experts believe that getting rid of an industry which is so deeply ensconced in the country is quite difficult.

In 2016, Thailand's then-tourism minister aimed to rid the country of it many brothels and wanted Thailand to be about "quality tourism." That announcement was followed by police raids on some of the biggest establishments providing sex services in the capital, Bangkok.

Thailand has been consistently voted as one of the world’s top destinations. Last year, its tourism industry recorded its highest ever revenue, raking in $53.76 billion, a 12 percent increase from 2016.

no more russian tourists then

We can only just hope.

Well that means all those tourists will no longer go to Ratchdaphisek then.






Oh.

How does a country pwned by the military close down lucrative sex operations pwned and protected by the military, police and politicians?

Anyway according to Minister of something or other there is no prostitution in Pattaya, and if not in the world's biggest brothel then where, so there!

There are no or veery few go-go bars in Indonesia. But doesn't stop one getting laid there, for a fee.

Move on, nothing to see here.

Block M was my choice of shopping when I lived in Jakata. Is it still operating?

^No idea but I too spent a ton of time in The Sportsmen then Oskars before heading off to Ton-a-whores or Bats to select an overnight toy. Can smell Kreteks just thinking about it .

Anyway back to the original story: Hands up anyone who didn't see this coming after the recent comments from some African basketcase country about how people should go to Thailand for sex?. Nobody?. OK then, hands up anyone who thinks this well rehearsed face-saving bullshit won't be forgotten about within a week?. Nobody again???.

That is it, ten to one.
It was my immediate thought. Can't have those low class khon dum putting us down!

If only someone would report a story of how Holland (for example, insert any white, relatively affluent country) is advertising and promoting sex tourism. Would we see a slow and sly about face from the authorities in Thailand?

Used to have the first and best one I ever went to though, that being the long since deceased Tanamour back in about 1990 as a teenager.

What I do know for a fact is, the gogo bars from Patpong to LK Metro and everywhere in between will still be in business as usual mode.

Looks like this story has no happy ending....

Life would suck for a lot of tourist.... Meanwhile, the ladies would need a few mins to swallow this piece of news. And the lady boys would be banging those wooden toys in frustration.

So that's it, then?...They've all moved to Utah?...
