You can justify the practice all you want by citing ID cards and shit, but do you think anything suddenly changes in those young womens' lives when they turn 18? For that matter, don't you think that the crime cartels would have thought to create fake IDs for their prostitutes? There are probably instances of safe, fair prostitution practices in Thailand, but I doubt that some American ex-pat is legitimately going to be able to tell which is which. It's the dismissive attitude that so many have that allows the business to thrive as much as it does.

You keep saying this, but you're not making any sense. Do you think that if the prostitution disappeared in Thailand, that these girls would all just shift professions and become doctors and lawyers? That's not the real world. In fact, these girls make more than most lawyers in that part of the world. My opinion is that you're failing to recognize a win/win situation because of your "high moral code".
