The Thai government not only looks the other way in regards to child-prostitution, but actually promotes the practice as a reason for tourists to visit. The Tourism Authority of Thailand used as their 1987 slogan the phrase: "The one friut of Thailand more delicious than durian (a native fruit)--it's young women." A 1992 Thai travel advertisement depicted a traveler's postcard with the message: "Got to close now. The tarts in the Bangkok Baby Club are waiting for us."

Thailand is a child-molester's paradise. ****et is especially rife with brothels catering to the pedophile. That is precisely why there were so many European tourists in that town, on the day of the tsunami disaster. European 'sex-tourists' have become a major source of income for Thailand.

Many European businessmen while on a trip to Asia, stop off in Thailand before returning home. They do not make a detour for the chicken with peanut sauce, but for the chance to romp about Thailand's many red-light districts. Where else could one go to openly have sex with a ten year old boy or girl, without fear of prosecution? It is in fact, a sexual-deviant's dream vacation.

UNICEF estimates that there are 250,000 children being held in Thailand's sex-slavery industry. U.S. aid to Thailand should come with the condition, that the practice of child sex-slavery come to
an immediate end.

You are correct, and you do have a point, but is the whole country engaging in this? Are all the people doing this? Or just a few really creepy people? What about the millions who don't?
