Resumen legal
Technically illegal but widely tolerated. Enforcement uneven. Entertainment venues ('go-go bars') operate openly.
En la práctica
Despite being illegal, the Thai sex industry is world-famous. Bangkok's Patpong, Nana Plaza, and Soi Cowboy operate openly. Pattaya and Phuket are major destinations. Police enforcement is inconsistent and corruption is a factor. HIV/AIDS testing available through NGOs.
