Chapter 2
Welcome to Bang Cock!

Now, the question in my mind is this. If child prostitution really runs rampant in Thailand as expert liar Ed Bradley of 60 MINUTES would have you believe, how come out of 5,000 prostitutes and 300 bars Dexter documented over a three year period, we could not find a single one? Granted, there may have been one or two children hiding in the corner which Dexter's camera did not pick up, but that is a far cry from Ed Bradley's bold statement that child prostitution in the tourist districts is so "easy to find". If it's so easy, how come after filming over 300 bars and 5,000 prostitutes we could not find a single one? That alone raises serious question when TV specials like 60 MINUTES R&R in Southeast Asia boldly make their highly exaggerated claims.

So if it's true that tourism has nothing to do with child prostitution in Thailand, why do we hear so much about it from the media? What you are hearing from the mainstream media is nothing less than propaganda used to give sex tourism in Thailand a bad rap and deter tourists from going there to engage in sex with consenting adults. What's really happening is you are being lied to by anti-prostitution groups and other organizations who are only interested in shoving their agenda down your unsuspecting throat. There's a word for this type of persuasion. It's called brainwashing and many journalists and reporters, like those of Inside Edition, Fox News and 60 MINUTES are experts at it.

I've been traveling to Thailand now for ten years and currently live in Thailand. In all my travels, neither my associates or I have never seen one single instance in which a child was available for sex. Sure, I've run into teenagers working the sex industry, some as young as sixteen (and these teens were no innocent kids, that is for sure). But as for real children, such as nine, ten or eleven year olds, I've never seen it. This does not prove it does not exist, but it does show that if it existed in the proportion the media has made it out to be, certainly I would have run into it

After ten years of travel to Thailand (and two years living there), it became clear to me it's the hookers who are exploiting the tourists; if anyone is the sex slave, it's the tourist, not the Thai hooker. One night in Patpong will set you straight on that subject.
