"Child Prostitution in Thailand
by Sirirat Pusurinkham

Child prostitution is a serious social problem in Thailand. Prostitution is a form of enslavement that currently involves perhaps 800,000 children under the age of sixteen, bought and sold for a profit that exceeds that of the drug trade or weapons sales or lotteries or sports gambling.

The Thai culture has a long history of prostitution but the problem has never been as grave as it is at present.
