Pattaya is a popular beach resort, located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand and 165 km southeast of Bangkok.
The roots of the sex industry in Pattaya were established during the Vietnam War when US troops came here and lay claim to that kind of love.
Another fundamental reason for this phenomenon is the location itself, moreover you can buy sex with a prostitute here for as little as $20.Thus it is quite affordable.
Here most of the girls come from the Isaan region which is the poorest one in Thailand.
Prostitution has been illegal in Thailand since 1960. This law established a monitoring sex workers system in order to prevent their mistreatment and to control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Those who violate the law risk a fine of 1000 Baht or a jail term of one month.
Here sex industry is supported by political circles through corruption.
