Why not choose a city with an airport? Why not some other major financial hub in Thailand? Why a city specifically known for underage sex tourism?

Also, there is no city in Thailand known for underage tourism. Thailand has very strict laws against it... which are strictly enforced with extremely harsh punishments.

Oh really? Maybe the State Department and the United Nations InterAgency Project on Human Trafficking are just being silly. They characterize the entire country as being a haven for underage tourism.

You are either willfully ignorant or just plainly spouting bullshit.

OH - and here are some Pattaya specific ones:

Try again, Bruce. We can go all day with this, there's an entire archive at the UN we can go through and plenty of other organizations who will be glad to share their knowledge of this issue on Pattaya.

Finally, you remind me of this guy Bruce with your flat denial of Child Sex Slavery being an issue in Thailand and Pattaya specifically:

I plainly don't care about what he posted on some forum at this point, as it's still in the area of reasonable doubt.

But I do want an answer to what he posted about there not being a child sex problem in Thailand (Pattaya specifically) and how it's strictly enforced. Why post that Bruce? It's very obvious that it's not true - at all! Don't give me -"they are cleaning it up!" excuse, as it is clear from UN documents that they were banging this drum over Thailands head as recently as two weeks ago.
