Haven't seen this myself yet. But a documentary about Thailand and sex industry. http://www.movingimages.bc.ca/catalogue/Cultdiverse/bangkokgirl.html And shhh, available as a torrent: http://torrentspy.com/torrent/749898/ From some persons personal view on elsewhere: "The earliest backpackers were hardly interested in contacting Thai girls because they could not discuss with them for hours and hours about the relevance of being. Then a big cloud drew up and darkened South East Asia. The American engagement in Vietnam. The rise of Pattaya began with the landing of American bombers at nearby Uta Pao airport, returning from their deployment over Vietnam. The pilots needed "Rest and Recreation" (R&R). Pattaya was the nearest target, and those were heydays for the small community it was then. But other places were concurring. Especially Taiwan wooed the tired soldiers, because Taiwan and the USA had a common enemy: The Reds. But when the war came to its end, Taiwan closed all R&R facilities. Even the traditional teahouses, frequented by Japanese customers were torn down. The reason for this measure? National pride. For the economy of Taiwan this was only a short time loss. Taiwan soon inundated the world with legal IBM PC-clones. While Taiwan turned to high technology, Thailand accepted the continuation of R&R practices. For Pattaya it meant business as usual. The party could go on and is still feted today." :evil:
