Rahab Ministries, Thailand is increasingly involved in addressing both the symptoms and the sources of this epidemic problem.
Patpong is infamous as a center for sex tourism in Thailand and is patronized by many foriegn men and women. It consists of two small streets located in the midst of the downtown business area of Bangkok. Quiet by day with a few shops, restaurants and small businesses, at night Patpong becomes garish and pulsating with neon signs, loud music and more than 100 beer bars, Go-Go bars, brothels and massage parlors. It is estimated that each night over 4,000 women work here.
Nana Soi 4 is another red light district in Bangkok. Young women, many under the age of 18 work in the bars. Many foreign tourists and expatriates living in Thailand frequent the area in this horseshoe shaped cluster of over 50 bars.
Many women working in Patpong and Soi Nana have come from poor families in the rural areas of Thailand and have little formal education and few employable skills. They come to Bangkok to earn money to support their families. At first, they do not realize that working in the bars involves prostitution.
