Today's myth about Thailand 🇹🇭 (#10) is a touchy one that I unfortunately hear all too often…

MYTH: the sex industry is rampant here.

Just like I said in myth #4 about safety, you’re more likely to see the sex industry on display in a major American city than anywhere in Thailand.

There are a few streets in the entire country which are known for this, and unfortunately they’ve become all some people obsess about - which says more about them than this country.

Given the safety, great food, lush nature and friendly people Thailand is very family-friendly and wholesome.

Here in Chiang Mai you have a large variety of international schools, family-friendly parks and outdoor activities like hiking and dirt biking.

Don’t let some secondhand information throw you off from the beauty of this land and its people.

And don't sleep on Thailand 🇹🇭

I think the misconception about sex industry in Thailand is identical to the Vietnam one. I've been to Vietnam so many times and people always ask if I love going there to "do it" as they believe from some secondhand info that Vietnam is the land of great food, good beer, and cheap prosititutes. The first 2 are correct while the 3rd is not apparently so.
