Drugs are also illegal in most parts of the world. So is having sex with prostitutes, and so on and so forth.
Every country in the world has laws. The only difference between developing nations and the first world is, when you get intro trouble in one of the developing nations a) You can usually pay your way out of it. b) You don't get a criminal record. c) It's not held against you for the rest of your life. d) Your life is not usually ruined over something stupid.
To put it all into perspective, dildos and sex toys are also illegal here.

It just seems painfully obvious. Why are these places havens for sex tourists? Why do so many criminals flock there? Because while the laws are harsh, like you said, you can buy your way out of most anything so these people can live above the law. And due to the extreme poverty, the locals are willing to put them and their children in extremely dangerous situations to try and make ends meet. Why do you produce porn there? Because you can pay them less, because its illegal, there is no regulation you have to follow. Am I wrong?

You too have watched too many movies.
You want to know who gets caught trafficking drugs at the airport? Drug mules. They do not set up random tourists and plant drugs in their baggage. Drug mules get caught because the drug lord calls in and tips off customs about the person. Customs then flags that one person while 5 other drug mules walk through with no problems with bags full of drugs. That's how it works.

That sounds about right. There is this documentary about all the drug mules who are awaiting death in thailand jails. I just couldn't believe how many of them got busted right off the plan. What you describe makes total sense. Sucks for them.
