Poverty and vice plague Bangkok red-light district
Bangkok the Krung Thep city of angels hides a stark vice crisis with 400,000 to 700,000 prostitutes. Prostitution draws tourists from Tokyo and other Asian cities amid group trips and protests by Thai and Japanese women. Local campaigns, including Thailand Night Girls Rights Protection Group, seek reform after a deadly hotel fire. Poverty drives girls from Chiang Mai hills into Bangkok brothels, sometimes via corrupt officials. Police corruption and long, risky prosecutions hinder action as witnesses miss three summonses and cases fail.
