One thing for sure is when someone comes to that country of friendly smiles is that Buddhism is everywhere. From the people to landscape, Buddhist cast its light on everything. In Thailand, wherever the people are they put a Buddha statue and pray with absolute respect. And only by experience it in this country and feel the human nuance that you believe it's true.
Many visitors arriving to Thailand asked to go to sex show spots, while the Thais never acclaim or do marketing for sex tourism.
For example, Patpong is a popular neighborhood dedicated for sexual activities at night. But there isn't any promotional material here, that proves that sex show isn't what Thailand wants to widely introduce to tourists.
Do you know that on the streets of Bangkok for every 10 people there were 4 people are tourists, and in Pattaya 7 of 10 are foreigners.
About the name 'sex tourism' city Pattaya, it's because sex is a widespread public activity for people over 18 years old. Pattaya has numerous erotic shows, strippers' shows of Thai or Western dancers... and most of them are exclusive for tourists.
In fact, all the tours to Pattaya bring tourists to sex shows, and if you pay close attention, there's not a single Thai people coming the these shows as a visitor.
Actually, coming to Thailand, if you want to find that kind of entertainment you have to prove yourself a foreigner, only then they will accept to carry you in with 3 times the fee and they'll leave as soon as you get off the vehicle.
A country with more than 90% of the population devout to Buddhism, do you think they would be proud of that kind of lustful tourism form?
Also throughout the way from Bangkok Center to Patpong on the taxi, i was pull over 2 times by police and had to prove that i'm a foreign visitor to Patpong before they let me go.
Thailand tourism also attracts tourists thank to the very professional service, they always treat their customers as kings, and not simply as sex addicts. Thai people always has a inviting smile on their faces. In Bangkok, even a tuk tuk driver can talking to you in English stylishly.
The stories from perspective of someone who works in Thailand tourism industry and Patpong's girls somehow suggest that, is only the tourists who see that country as a 'capital of sex'.
