Years ago, I had visited some of these local brothels as some of the taxi drivers took me there when I ask for a cheap f**k. It is a sight I will never forget. The rooms were dark, unsanitary with a dirty mat bed and sometimes the girls were chained to the bed. And most of these girls were just little girls and many yrs away from being even 18. Sad, but most Thai local men only wanted very young girls as it was a false belief that the younger they are the less chance of caring any diseases. Its not as bad there today as their ecomony and standard of living has improved vastly over the yrs. But the Philippines is another story with still unchecked corruption and extreme poverty.

It was not only Thailand.... most of the poor countries had similar culture.
Whilst many of us hate the IJM for its work..... but they did an excellent job changing the mindset of these poor families and their governments. Now you can hardly find these type of places where once they were rampant in LOS, Camdodia, PNG, Vietnam, Riau Islands etc....
I am confident that the IJM will achieve its objective in the PI too.
