Find the backpakers in Kosa Mui (have no idea how to spell that) but you will find it easily, it's on that island and the neighboring ones that there are all those rave parties and stuff. Thats in the south of the country.
Bankok sucks. The underage stuff will make you sick there.
Enjoy it.

My friend, who more or less lives there, is telling me that Ko Samui (where he lives), is "crawling with backpacker chicks from all over the world," who frequently are low on cash. THAT is what I'd be looking for, not underage male or female hookers. My ex-wife spent some time there and told me that the local males resent foreigners socializing "with intentions" with the Thai women. I'm not saying I'd never shoot a Thai woman, but that would not be my reason for going there. It just seems like a great place to do photography, with fantastic outdoor settings and more days you can work outdoors than we have here in northwestern Oregon.
