all i know is that in 5 years I have seen no sign of it, prostitutes, yes Ive seen thousands, child prostitutes, not one so far


No child prostitutes? What about "really short" prostitutes?
yes, there are short ones, the thing is, I dont care, all Im saying it that its a myth to portray pattaya as some kind of child prostitution place, sure you can no doubt hunt it out and its quite likely someone will report you to the police or blackmail you, but its not on the streets at all

I don't think anyone is portraying Pattaya as some sort of place where there are big "SEXY PRETEEN BOYS" neon signs or anything. I was also critical of the accusations of pedophilia against Bruce Wagner, until he decided to lie about what he did and didn't write in a thread about seducing virgins for 500 baht.

I understand that there is another side to Pattaya, but the fact remains, incidents of child prostitution are much higher in parts of Asia.  Pattaya is known for being a 'prostitution paradise'. And where there's prostitution, there's child prostitution. Hotel staff in Pattaya are specifically trained to warn guests that its illegal, and there are many Pattaya-specific outreach programs for the children that end up there.

And just because you don't personally witness something doesn't mean it isn't rampant. Do you frequent sex clubs, or just the streets? Are you a western tourist, or a local?


I cant say I have ever noticed 2000 kids on the streets like that article claims, maybe going to and from school but not wondering round selling stuff. Im not saying child prostitution  doesnt happen, Im just saying that its no more common in pattaya then in many western cities. it may well be more common amongst the thais but on the streets and in the sex clubs of pattaya where most westerners go you dont see children selling sex or even looking remotely like they may be available for sex.

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, period. So your claims that it 'doesn't happen' because it's 'illegal' are flawed.
Is that any different from the US. where did I claim that it "doesnt happen" or that legality is the reason it doesn't happen?


Quote
estimates of the number of children involved in prostitution living in Thailand ranges from 12,000 to the hundreds of thousands (ECPAT International).
thats a 20 fold difference, I wouldnt call that an estimate, I would call it a wild guess
Quote
*Thailand's own* research estimates that 40% of all prostitutes in Thailand are children. You're crazy if you think it's 'no more' than any other city.


they sure hide them well, I wonder what the research involved?

so how many child prostitutes are there estimated to be in the US?

as a resident of Pattaya I would like to point out that there is no more underage prostitution here then in any other city in the world. Yes there is a lot of prostitution, the economy is based on it ever since the US military started coming here, but underage prostitution is illegal here, same as most western countries.  In 5 years I have never seen children being sold and never been offered any. I have no doubt there is child prostitution here if you look hard enough as it is in every city in the world. I know that wont sell many newspapers in the west but thats the way it is.
