PATTAYA, Thailand (Reuters) - Under the neon-lights of Pattaya, the Thai town renowned for its sex industry, boys and girls as young as seven try to sell flowers to western tourists.

Some will end up selling their bodies.
“These kids start by selling sweets to tourists who aren’t interested, so they use sexual tactics like holding arms or legs,” said Sudjai Nakphain of World Vision, who works on a project for children in Pattaya.
“While some kind adults just give them money, others exploit those selling tactics and many kids, who have already been sexually abused by their families, end up selling sex,” she said.
Once a small fishing village until American servicemen started “relaxing” there early in the Vietnam War, Pattaya is now a “pedophile paradise”, where anything goes.
Even the government’s Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is not embarrassed to boast about the town’s sex industry.
TAT says on its Web site (www.tourismthailand.org) the beach town, 180 km (110 miles) east of Bangkok, proclaims “exotic erotic shows” and “sauna & massage parlors” alongside elephant rides, water and aerial sports as star attractions.
Pattaya, it says, offers “an incomparable array of possibilities to unwind during an exotic holiday beach vacation”.
There has been a steep jump in the number of sex tourists and child prostitutes in Pattaya in recent years, social workers say.
Two decades ago, the town had 500 bars. Now there are more than 20,000, mostly sidewalk bars with a few stools and scantily-clad, overly made-up girls -- many as young as 14.
There are no official figures for the numbers of street children or child prostitutes in the town of 500,000 people, but one child welfare agency estimates 2,000 children wander the streets of Pattaya selling everything from sweets to sex.
“Pattaya has attracted children from all over the country both voluntarily and lured by traffickers,” said Supagon Noja of the Pattaya-based Child Protection and Development Center.
“Word of mouth from children in the industry always lures new faces to Pattaya,” said Supagon.
Some boys aged between 10 and 15 can earn 10,000 baht ($280) a night having sex with a foreigner, more than a college-educated civil servant makes in a month in Thailand.
Some pimps set up arcade games in shops to lure boys into prostitution. Young boys become addicted to the computer games but soon run out of money, said Supagon.
So they pay upstairs by having sex with western tourists, said Supagon, who has led police on raids of brothels to arrest pedophiles.
At any time, there may be as 200 Western men hanging out at bars on one strip, waiting for boys to be delivered by brokers. Police turn a blind eye, he said.
“They (my customers) took me out to McDonalds,” said Yo, 17, a former male prostitute, now being rehabilitated in a government boys home in the nearby town of Rayong.
“After I got money, I spent it on computer games,” he said.
A 62-year-old woman hotelier, who has built a business empire in Pattaya, is now trying to clean up the town.
Sopin Thappajug, who owns hotels, restaurants and bars, apartment buildings, and a golf driving range, says she wants to make Pattaya a “family-friendly” destination.
“Many women just never want their husbands to come to Pattaya, even if they come here for business,” said Sopin, who told Reuters she divorced her husband some time after they moved to Pattaya from northern Thailand.
“I feel bad when I see those women trying to seduce tourists walking along the beach with their wives. Pattaya has more to offer,” said Sopin, whose bars lure customers with bands and large TV screens showing sport instead of go-go dancers.
The sleaze in Pattaya and nearby towns drove Sopin to become active in social work and raising funds for charities through golf tournaments and other events.
Sopin hires former child prostitutes to work in her businesses and has helped set up a network of social workers.
The social workers fan out through villages around Pattaya warning parents and children against human traffickers looking for new recruits for the sex industry.
Sopin instructs her hotel reception staff to warn guests who bring child prostitutes back to their rooms that underage sex is illegal in Thailand.
“I know we can’t stop them from doing what they want to do here, but at least we try. It won’t succeed, but if we don’t do it, who else will,” said Sonpin.

NGO Urban Light in Chiang Mai has reached 5,000 teenagers caught up in prostitution rackets in Thailand’s second city.
Chiang Mai, Thailand – Krit hangs out near McDonald’s most days, polishing the hood of his green tuk-tuk and waiting for customers. He can make as much as 3,000 Thai baht ($92) in a day driving tourists around this northern city.
Several years ago when Krit was just 16, this picture was very different. His customers were still Western tourists, but they went to him for sex, not tuk-tuk rides. Krit was a victim of Thailand’s sex-trafficking trade. For five years he worked in seedy bars and dingy massage joints in Chiang Mai’s red light district. He endured cruelty and exploitation, forced to go home with the men who venture to these dark places to buy sex with children.
It was a horrific life that forced Krit to the brink; the teen was later hospitalised with HIV, and almost died. But he made a miraculous recovery and went on to set up his own tuk-tuk business.
“I feel independent because I can control my own life,” says Krit, whose name has been changed to protect his privacy. “I don’t need money from customers in the bars. I have a new desire to change my life, to work hard and take care of myself. I feel lucky to be alive.”
Now Krit is teaching other teen boys – also sex-trafficking victims – to drive the noisy three-wheel taxis. He takes them to abandoned parking lots to practice changing gears and reversing. They practice English and learn how to read maps.
It’s part of a project run by Urban Light , the only NGO in Thailand that supports male victims of sex trafficking. The country is a notorious destination for sex tourists, and has one of the highest rates of child prostitution in the world. But the plight of boys is much less understood.
Reliable numbers are difficult to come by with most research overlooking boys. The UN estimates that almost 30 percent of all trafficking victims are male, but this includes forced labour, not just sex trafficking. In Thailand there’s a higher prevalence of young boys performing survival sex on the streets, according to the Global Slavery Index .
Urban Light founder Alezandra Russell insists that sex trafficking “is now a multi-billion dollar industry that’s affecting both genders”. Her organisation provides health check-ups, counselling, education and housing programmes – and has reached 5,000 boys in seven years.
On a quiet afternoon here at the Urban Light centre, teen boys lounge around after a big lunch of homemade Pad Thai. Some nap or watch movies in the breakroom. Others play ping pong, lift weights and smoke cigarettes on the little rooftop. The boys are wary but friendly, smiling shyly. This is a safe space for them, a refuge.
Russell launched Urban Light after an eye-opening visit to Chiang Mai’s red light district in 2009. The young American was there to research trafficking in an effort to support girls, but was shocked to see Western men sitting in bars with 14-year-old boys on their laps. When she tried to help, Russell was told, “Save your time for the girls, those boys are just going to get HIV and die.”
“I got really pissed off,” she says. “I went back to the bars later that night.” The boys were curious about the only woman in the bar, and Russell gradually gained their trust by buying them bottles of coke, playing games and chatting about football in broken Thai. She felt distraught and helpless when one by one, customers came to buy the boys and take them away.
Russell visited the bars every night of her two-week trip. When she returned to her life in Washington DC, she couldn’t stop thinking about what she’d witnessed. “I sold my wedding ring and used that money to get back to Thailand and rent a little space in the red light district.”
Urban Light staff hand out condoms and fliers in bars and brothels in touristy areas of the city that seem innocuous enough, but are notorious spots for Western men (and increasingly Chinese and Thai men, Russell says) to find children for sale.
There’s a widespread misconception that victims of sex trafficking are kidnapped and locked up, but the reality is more complex. “They’re not chained to the bars, but they have so much psychological pressure that keeps them in that lifestyle,” says Russell.
Many of the boys are from northern Thailand’s hill tribes: impoverished, uneducated and without official papers. Traffickers lure these vulnerable teens into bars with the promise of a salary, then trap them in a vicious cycle of drug addiction, debt and violence.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to remove these boys from the situations they’re in, but Russell knows this has to be a decision the boys make themselves. “We’re really trying to show them that they have so much more potential than working in a bar or massage parlour, and that we can help them get there.”
Chaow was just 14 when he came to Urban Light. An orphan from a hill tribe community, he left school at 12 and took work in a Chiang Mai bar. He naively believed he’d only have to sell alcohol, and needed the money to send home.
“As the youngest, he inevitably was the one that all the men wanted,” says Russell. “He quickly realised what he was expected to do. For the next three years, he would live that life. As desperately as I wanted to get him out, I knew that he had to make that choice. One day he came to me in utter tears and said ‘that’s it, I’m done’. You could see the depression all over his face.” Urban Light helped Chaow get an apartment, finish school, and find work as a door-to-door salesman.
Equipping the boys with job skills is a crucial part of the organisation’s work. In addition to the tuk-tuk programme, some boys are training to become barbers.
“These are alternative ways for them to become entrepreneurs, to make their own money, to be their own bosses and see how they can thrive,” Russell says.

CHIANG MAI, Thailand (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Young boys walk in pairs late in the evening at Chiang Mai’s popular Tha Phae Gate, sauntering past tourists taking photos of the fort as locals hawk souvenirs.
No one would connect the boys to the older, white men - and a pair of Chinese 40-somethings - seated under a tree, or to the young man with the mobile phone leaning on a parked motorbike.
But for Alezandra Russell, founder of non-profit Urban Light, this scene - which unfolds every evening in one of the country’s most popular tourist stops - sums up everything that is wrong with Thailand’s approach to trafficking and slavery.
“The dialogue in Thailand - and around the world - is focused on women and girls, because the general perception is that boys are big and strong, and that they can take care of themselves,” said Russell, pointing out the deals being done.
The boys, aged from 14 to 24, walk in pairs for greater safety, making eye contact with the men, who then communicate their choices to the man with the mobile phone. Once the deal is done, the boys move to a side alley to wait for their clients.
If no one passes muster, the men head to one of dozens of bars and karaoke lounges that offer boys for sex. The rates range from 2,000 baht ($62) for an hour to 5,000 baht for longer, in a back room or in the client’s hotel, Russell said.
“Why does this not shock and enrage people as much as it does when it’s girls?” said Russell, whose drop-in center is for boys in Chiang Mai’s sex industry.
“They are no less vulnerable and abused than girls who are trafficked into sex work. Yet it is much more hidden, so there’s much less sympathy, and far fewer resources for boys,” she said.
Thailand is a source, transit, and destination country for children trafficked for sexual exploitation.
Thailand has more than 123,530 sex workers, according to a 2014 UNAIDS report. Of these, at least 40 percent are under 18, and a significant number are boys, according to rights groups.
Children are trafficked into Thailand from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam. Victims from Bangladesh, Pakistan, North Korea and China also transit through Thailand en route to the United States, western Europe and Russia, activists say.
“We are aware that there are boys also in the sex trade,” said Krittat Uamson, deputy director of the justice ministry’s human trafficking division in Bangkok. “But the majority of sex workers is girls and women, so our main focus is women.”
Globally, as many as 2 million children are sexually exploited annually, according to the United Nations children’s agency UNICEF. A significant number are boys, campaigners say.
Boys in poorer countries are particularly vulnerable, as they are often forced to work to support their families, and end up being lured to popular tourist spots.
Thailand’s sandy beaches, gilded Buddhist temples and popular cuisine drew a record 35 million visitors in 2017, with that number expected to rise to nearly 38 million this year, according to government data.
Although prostitution is illegal, it is tolerated.
Go-go bars, karaoke lounges and parlors offering “soapy massages” - bubble baths that usually end with sex - can be found in most cities and beach towns such as Phuket and Pattaya.
Agents prey on boys at bus stations, or go to villages to recruit them. The boys quickly run up debts with bar owners for clothes, drugs and money sent to their families, forcing them to remain in the bars, Russell said.
Violence and abuse are common, as is substance abuse and sexually-transmitted infections including HIV and AIDS, according to a 2013 study on boys in Chiang Mai’s sex industry.
The boys also display self-harming and suicidal tendencies, said Russell, who pawned her engagement and wedding rings to set up Urban Light.
“They are exposed to so much abuse and violence: I have seen boys come in who cannot even sit down. No 15-year-old should go through that,” she said.
“But we shouldn’t focus just on getting boys off the street. We have to involve the families, the communities that are putting them at risk, and talk about child rights, and safe migration,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
A 2016 Global Slavery Index, compiled by the Walk Free Foundation, estimates that 425,500 people live in conditions of modern slavery - including sexual slavery - in Thailand.
To clean up the country’s image, the government recently partnered with airlines and charities to warn visitors about trafficking, urging them to report suspected cases.
It also runs vocational training for at-risk young people, and operates 24-hour hotlines, said Krittat.
But most of these efforts are focused on girls and women, leaving boys and young men vulnerable, activists say.
“There is greater stigma around sexual abuse of boys in some cultures, including in Thailand,” said Damian Kean at ECPAT International, a network of non-profits working to end sexual exploitation of children.
“Anecdotal evidence shows it’s under-reported to a far greater degree than sexual abuse of girls. And the offenders are not just Western tourists, but are just as likely to be locals and other Asian men,” he said.
Children worldwide are more likely to be preyed upon by residents of their own homeland than foreign tourists seeking illicit sex, anti-trafficking experts say.
Last year, Urban Light worked with more than 1,000 boys in Chiang Mai, which Russell said was a record.
Poverty drives thousands in rural Thailand and from neighboring countries to the bustling capital of Bangkok, too.
Boys and so-called “ladyboys”, or transgender women, are trafficked to the city, lured by promises of jobs in restaurants, then forced into sex work.
There are at least 10,000 ladyboys working in Bangkok’s sex industry, said Celeste McGee, founder of Dton Naam, a charity that focuses on boys and transgender women.
“There is more stigma around transgender women than even homosexual men,” said McGee.
“They are exposed to a lot of violence and abuse from clients, and need different interventions for rehabilitation.”
Urban Light and Dton Naam offer counseling, vocational guidance, funds to complete school, and job opportunities.
In Chiang Mai, many drive tuk-tuks with the help of loans or grants, Russell said.
One of them, who goes by the name Joe, entered the trade when he was 15 years old, and worked for seven years, contracting HIV along the way.
Today, he drives a tuk-tuk, his girlfriend sometimes accompanying him, with an Urban Light sticker that says ‘Boys cannot be baht’ displayed prominently on the vehicle.
“I like this job, and being my own master,” he said. “This makes me feel happy, confident.”
