In Thailand, a $4 billion per year tourist industry is the linchpin of the modernization process called the "Thai Economic Miracle." And what is Thailand's main attraction? Sex for hire. Year after year, young women are lured to Bangkok to staff the teeming brothels that cater to male tourists from the United States, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, the Gulf States, Malaysia, and Singapore.
Ryan Bishop and Lillian Robinson show in compelling detail how this "miracle" is being paid for with women's lives.
