60% Sex Tourists in Thailand

The Barbie Doll lookalike on Fox News covering the Jonbenet murder just spouted some statistics stating that 60% of tourists to Thailand are SEX TOURISTS....so just remember when you're down Bangla tonight, 6 out of every 10 farangs you see are SEX TOURISTS.

Where do they get these figures from?!...Paedophile Weekly??

Fox News have it wrong, there's no such thing as a sex tourist as nobody in thailand pays for sex.

We simply give taxi fare money in the morning

I saw that too, they had quite a damning report on Thailand and its sex industry, citing it as the worlds Number 1 sex and paedophila destination etc etc....had a reporter going around Patpong asking for LT and saying how the girls all look under age...

As usual with the yank press they should take a closer look at their own backyards first. A nation that allows parents to dress up their children and enter them into beauty contests should have a good look at itself before casting aspersions on others. This is a tragic case and hopefully with the arrest in Bangkok it will be put to rest. However the pushy parents in the states will continue to pressure their children into a sad life that the culture perpetuates. Stick that one in your pipe and smoke it Fox News.

Agreed. They aired a video showing the girl wearing a dress that made her look like she had cleavage!...and she was only 6 years old

Fox News is a conservative puppet forum. They're like a right-wing bullhorn. I would take all their news with a grain of salt.

What the F*$K were you doing watching that channel in the first place!

You get more realistic news from the 'daily sport' in the UK. And you get more nipples too!

totally agree with you Simbo. turned on the tv and now for the last hour i have only heard continuous negatives of the happenings in the world. not one good thing. how quickly the US media forgets how the thais helped the foreign relatives who lost families and friends from the tsunami. it pisses me off. how the US media will not show how much good in this country. typical american judgment one sided. it really makes me realize how much i can not wait to get back to thailand. only 21 more days...

Guys, when she was mudered this story was the story of the moment. The news blew it out of porportion for months and made it as sensational as possible to keep the case in the limelight.

Well guess what, they have a chance to do it all over again and they will. Anything they can do to sensationalise it again and get the whole story ressurected and in the limelight again they will, including making Bangkok look like the pedophile capitol of the world, since it must be as far as they are concerned as this guy was living there.

The news does not care what they say and who they hurt. I always love it when they say alleged bank robber or alleged murderer and they had just showed a 10 minute tape of the guy robbing the bank or killing somebody. I know they have to do that for legal reasons but it is just sad that they have to.

And as for the 6 year old beauty pageant parents, they are trying to live vicariously through their children. Not as much the culture as it is the parents.

What do people expect from Fox News? It broadcast biased crap from right wing nuts.

If FN was a condition it would be Cancer or Ebola.

I reckon that not even 50 % comes for sex, but is hard to resist it when you're actually there

Seems like an odd comment coming from a Canadian, as I would suspect they have the same pageants there!

The website for the Miss All Canadian Pageant, which includes beauty competition for children, as well as older girls: Age Categories for the Miss All Canadian Pageant

Children Division

4-6 years Girls
7-9 years Girls

i thought the families that go to bangla go to sell off their children for a cow and two elephants, heard that was the going rate... Who comes up with these numbers anyway... Some old guy sitting in the studio picking numbers from his ****... Wasn't it also called "romance tourism" now... Or at least when ladies go to Jamaica its that. I say call it the same for me and we're all equal. Call guys that sleep around sluts, i know we wouldn't care. Call a lady a slut, and .... Its just silly the way the media reacts and how ladies want to be considered equal, while they hide behind their tainted walls...
