Pattaya Sex Workers Weigh In on Pros and Cons of Prostitution Legalization
Legalization of prostitution a mixed blessing say Pattaya sex workers Pattaya Mail
The sex industry in Pattaya, Thailand is a booming business. With an estimated 10,000 prostitutes working in the city, it is one of the most popular destinations for sex tourists in Southeast Asia. While prostitution is technically illegal in Thailand, the laws are rarely enforced and the industry continues to thrive. This has led to a debate about whether or not prostitution should be legalized in the country. To get a better understanding of the issue, we spoke to some of the sex workers in Pattaya to hear their thoughts on the pros and cons of legalizing prostitution.
One of the main arguments for legalizing prostitution is that it would help to protect sex workers from exploitation and abuse. Many of the women we spoke to agreed that this would be a positive outcome of legalization. One woman said, “If prostitution was legal, it would give us more rights and make it easier to report any abuse or exploitation that we experience. We would also be able to access medical care and other services without fear of being arrested.”
Another argument for legalization is that it would help to reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Many of the women we spoke to agreed that this would be a positive outcome of legalization. One woman said, “If prostitution was legal, it would make it easier for us to get tested and treated for STDs. We would also be able to access condoms and other forms of protection more easily. This would help to reduce the spread of STDs in Pattaya.”
However, there are also some potential drawbacks to legalizing prostitution. One concern is that it could lead to an increase in human trafficking and exploitation. Many of the women we spoke to expressed this concern, saying that if prostitution was legalized, it could make it easier for traffickers to operate without fear of being caught. Another concern is that it could lead to an increase in drug use and crime in the area.
Overall, the women we spoke to had mixed feelings about the pros and cons of legalizing prostitution in Pattaya. While many saw potential benefits such as increased protection for sex workers and reduced spread of STDs, they also expressed concerns about potential drawbacks such as increased human trafficking and crime. Ultimately, it is up to the Thai government to decide whether or not to legalize prostitution in the country, but it is clear that any decision should be made with careful consideration of both the potential benefits and drawbacks.
