What is going on with the sex trade and prostitution in Asia?
I went to South-East Asia recently and saw prostitutes and also their pimps as however you would refer them to. How come there are so many prostitutes, isn't this illegal over there? I want to also know if there is anything being done about it.

Easy,, the police usually get a cut if it's organized.

Prostitution in Thailand is illegal, but authorities mostly ignore it because it brings in so much foreign revenue. I have no doubt it's the same in neighboring countries. It doesn't carry the same stigma there as it does here. There, it's just an easy way to make a living and support your family by relieving tourists of their excess money.
