Inside the world’s sex capital Pattaya

Thailand dubbed the ‘modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah’ where 27,000 prostitutes offer services to over a million tourists. The city of Pattaya in Thailand has an estimated 27,000 prostitutes and is known as the world’s neon-lit sex capital.
The Thailand resort located in the east of the country has been branded the modern day ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ – the biblical kingdom infested with vice and sin.







Over one million tourists visit Pattaya every year and many of them are white western men who frequent the city’s hundreds of strip bars, go-go clubs and brothels.

Many sex workers come from the impoverished northeast and see selling their bodies as a way out of poverty.

Prostitutes can earn up to 5,000 baht (£114) a night, nearly 20 times the minimum wage of 300 baht (£7) per day.
