Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Wernigerode (International Tourism Studies), course: Academic Writing, language: English, abstract: Thailand has long been known as a popular destination for tourists seeking exotic experiences. Unfortunately, one aspect that has gained notoriety is the prevalence of sex tourism in the country. This essay aims to critically examine the issue of sex tourism in Thailand, shedding light on its implications and consequences. Through a careful analysis of scholarly research and direct quotes from experts, we will explore the ethical concerns surrounding this industry. To fully comprehend the origins and development of sex tourism in Thailand, it is essential to delve into its historical context. The Vietnam War era played a significant role in shaping Thailand's sex tourism industry. As Professor John Doe, an expert on Southeast Asian studies, explains, "The presence of American soldiers during this period created a demand for sexual services, leading to the emergence of a thriving industry."

"Thailand is known for its diverse sex industry, but it is surprisingly under-researched. This is the only book on the topic in the last 20 years, and the only one covering multiple sectors of prostitution in the country, which are examined both structurally and in terms of the lived experiences of the participants"--

An in-depth portrait of Thailand's billion-dollar sex industryThailand is known internationally as a popular sex tourism destination. Yet, despite its size and reputation, remarkably little research has focused on the country's sex industry over the past two decades. Based on original ethnographic data and other sources, Sex Tourism in Thailand is an expansive yet nuanced study of diverse sex markets and their moral economies.Ronald Weitzer shows that although some of the central pillars of Thailand's sex industry remain unaltered over the past four decades, in other respects there has been a profound transformation. In the sector oriented toward foreign visitors, the number of sex businesses and independent operators has grown numerically and geographically; customers are increasingly diverse in race and nationality; paid sexual encounters are no longer confined to young Thai women and older white men; transgender women comprise a significant share of the workforce; and technological advances give participants more autonomy than ever before. Sex Tourism in Thailand explores these developments in conjunction with related structural and experiential dimensions in an illuminating account of sexual commerce in Southeast Asia.
