Stop parlour games

“The future is not mass tourism” (Opinion, Sept 23) was a wonderful article regarding preserving Thailand’s nature.

However, there’s another attraction that draws the tourists here in huge numbers which is rarely mentioned by the media or leading politicians. And that is the thousands of bars and massage parlours providing sexual favours by young women to tourists, many of whom old enough to be their fathers.

Surely it’s about time these young women were found decent occupations and livelihoods. No doubt Covid-19 will assist in this process. If this issue is properly dealt with, I’m sure that Thailand’s reputation will rise exponentially in the eyes of the world!
