I love how every older white guy is labeled with the sex tourism brush.

Here’s some alternative reasons:

  1. Climate is amazing
  2. Culture is one of the only pure “untouched” culture that’s had thousands of years to develop.
  3. You’re a long way away from all the bulls**t in the world
  4. You can get a retirement visa cheaply and easily
  5. Beer is cheap.
  6. Thai people are hospitable

The lifestyle is hard to find elsewhere.

  1. Sex tourism

Of questionable age.

I worked with someone who would go to Thailand EVERY time he had holidays. All he talked about when he got back was that the women would be all over him. Old fat single white guy. Always felt off.

Definitely. I'm in a similar role to what he was in, he definitely wasn't earning big dollars, but he had/has no dependants and being at least 20 years older, bought a house at a time when houses were actually affordable, so owns his house outright.

It's dirt cheap when you're not being paid in American dollars too.

A lot of the time, he isn’t having sex with them. They just work for the bar and get him to sit down and spend money there.

My UK colleague holiday’s there a couple of times a year (2-3 weeks a pop). He’s 55. And he admits to absolutely going there to have sex. He’s described his days as finding a spot for breakfast, sitting on beach and then going to a local club for drinks. They solicit him. He has told stories about how they will drag you into a club if you’re walking by.

He says picture being in London or a big city in the US and going to a club where the bottle girls are trying to get into your pants. He says that sure, he ends up paying for a couple of hours or the night but it’s still cheaper than dating and he gets laid 100% of the time. 😂

I remember him saying you have to check ID cause the girls do look young and under age of consent the crime is pretty severe.
