  Press coverage of the sex trade in Thailand routinely consists of moralizing and sensationalist denunciations of this infamous industry . Through the words of sex workers, performers, and all those who provide services within the sex industry - and their clients - this book poses some controversial questions: who are the real beggars - those who sell their bodies for derisory amounts of money, or those who travel halfway around the world for the sake of experiences not available at home?; how do the sex industry workers really feel about what they do, and what sort of regulation/control of the industry do they want and need? Their answers - sometimes surprising, often both shocking and moving - explain the cultural, economic and social pressures which lead young men and women to offer their bodies on the open tourist market.
