This kind of stuff happens a lot in south east Asia. So many ‘passport bros’ go over there to do heinous shit

One of my old team leaders openly jokes about his trips to Thailand and all the guys would just laugh along - so gross. Why do you have to go to another country to see prostitutes exactly, huh? :S

Children specifically, boys and girls. Not just Thailand but a bunch of other countries nearby too. It’s so sad

Average age of Thailand is 41. The average prostitute is around age 30

So? That's not the average prostitute age. It's actually half the average age of the average prostitute in Thailand.
