I've been to Pattaya and Bangkok many times. I'm off to the Philippines in August. How do you define a 'sex tourist' Nicky? Someone who has a massage with happy ending? Or a sick deviate who preys on underage kids? There's a big difference Nicky, and it's best not to tar everyone with the same brush.
Not sure there is much of different because the 'adult' workers have most likely started when they were quite 'young'.
In general, it is an industry of human exploitation & trafficking, where their parents or village gets into debt and they then must work to pay off those debts.
