HIV is rampant in Brazil. If I ever go there I'm keeping my cock where it belongs, in my hands in my hotel room :pimp

edit: 50 wanted pornographers

Not near as much as in Thailand. HIV rate among working women is 80-90%, depending on the area. And that quote came from one of the major travel guide publishers. There's not a chance I would hook up with a prosititute over there. Heck, I was dodging the bananas being shot out of the stripers' vaginas! (no joke).

As for shooting content: Never did it myself, but I've worked with photographers that did. Standard practice to carry extra bribe money to get out of trouble. Would suck to find the unbribably ones, though...

For the record, prostitution is technically illegal over there, but obviously not enforced.

well, it's really just a matter of time.

i mean how long can a guy shooting this sort of stuff last over there:

http://asianstreetmeat.com/ etc, etc.

and not piss off just one girl.

and all it takes is one unhappy chick to change your world over there.

moral of the story:

don't shoot ANY hardcore at all in the kingdom, don't have any real sex, understand the thai calendar, and don't rough up the girls with all this "exploited" shit.

As a follow up, here's the statistics for HIV among the general population as published in the CIA World Factbook (the previous % was the prostitutes)

US: 0.6%
Brazil: 0.7%
Thailand: 1.5%

Better bump this back up

Sweden:
HIV/AIDS - adult prevalence rate: 0.1% (2001 est.)
HIV/AIDS - people living with HIV/AIDS: 3,600 (2001 est.)
HIV/AIDS - deaths: less than 100 (2003 est.)

Thailand:
HIV/AIDS - adult prevalence rate: 1.5% (2003 est.)
HIV/AIDS - people living with HIV/AIDS: 570,000 (2003 est.)
HIV/AIDS - deaths: 58,000 (2003 est.)

US:
HIV/AIDS - adult prevalence rate: 0.6% (2003 est.)
HIV/AIDS - people living with HIV/AIDS: 950,000 (2003 est.)
HIV/AIDS - deaths: 14,000 (2003 est.)

80-90% that is crazy, i would be wearing a rubber just to walk in the streets

Does anyone else here think that prostitute HIV rate is a rather strange stat to be appearing in a CIA document?
:Oh crap

The prostitution statistic was in a guide book. The general population one was in the Factbook. If you only read my last point, it did sound like it was the same source, but no... :)

They had a grip on HIV and new infections were way down for years. Now it is on a serious rise again. Yahoo news just had a story on it a few weeks ago.

DWB is this statement below correct ? I remember a while ago you saying that the high HIV rate in Thailand was because of the Thai brothels in the North of Thailand were thai men refuse to wear condoms when fucking the girls.

Whats the score with BKK and places like Phuket ?

Bump for a good cause

Guys, my initial intention was to keep that information for myself, but after seeing this thread, I thought that I must write it here:
About a week ago photographer of my content provider from Thailand was arrested in his Bangkok hotel together with his Thai assistant. I hope this information will be helpful to ppl that working there right now, or planning to go.

Thailand is a very risky place to shoot porn. The girls are willing, the existance of open prostitution and take home strip clubs might make you think everything is okay, but it really isn't.

Good luck to anyone arrested over there. It's not a pretty place from the inside.

I also heard from my friends that it is heating in Thailand now and they call the staff back for a security reason.

I read an interesting article in The Times yesterday about a "silent war" going on in Southern Thailand so getting the train south may not be as good an idea if it goes near any region affected. Just an off topic heads up :)

yes, but have a permit to work their or you go to jail.

and fei ben is not a good place to be :(

This needs a bump! Good luck! :thumbsup

........

i heard about the illegality of shooting before i came here, and value my freedom so sure wont be putting it at risk.. i warned all the people im here with but I think they know already that its pretty stupid. im not even comfortable telling people what i do here, i just say hosting :)

:thumbsup good story

so shooting porn in thailand is illegal?

thats pretty hardcore considering they have a massive red light district...

I wouldn't want to be an American in trouble in Thailand.

There's only one known porn producer in thailand who does content with all the hookers you can find in bangkok. He's the guy behind exploited teens asia, asian street meat etc.

There isn't much thai content around for sale or generally to be seen, so don't think it's a popular producer location.

Most guys shooting stuff are rather tourists and doing it for themselves.

Have you ever been to Thailand? Things don't work that way there.

If it's about sex tourism - the girls get into trouble and not the tourist if they're caught and have to pay off the cops.

If it's about asian street meat and other sites by the same producer (Nigel) - most girls the producer fucks are from clubs and want to keep their income instead of getting everybody arrested.

Beside that thai cops are corrupt, as long as they aren't forced to show some arrests.

I remember a big press release on AVN a couple months back how one of the major DVD companies was coming to Asia, and Thailand in particular to shoot some new Asian content. I believe it was TT Boy's company. I remember shaking my head at the press release the same way i'm shaking my head at this and knowing only disaster could come from it. Not too smart :2 cents:

I am based in Thailand and do not work from there at all. In Soi Cowboy 2 nights ago the police set up a drug testing unit....jujst testing some bar girls and door girls but have been known to test tourists.

Thaksin has announced cyber sex clean up, web sites clean up and I would not want to be caught shooting there at all.

you're high... i know people in BOTH countries that have rawdogged hundreds of whores, and have never gotten anything... these numbers are fabricated by the bible thumpers and by people from countries who are powerless at stopping another country allowing prostitution....

why not? Thailand is in bed with the USA

Interesting thread.

Could be, but I'm not taking the chance. :winkwink:

The Real Truth About Hiv In Thailand
 

*cough*

Seriously, the HIV numbers in Thailand are not really being told correctly. I did extensive research on this before I started shooting there a few years ago, as well as had conversations with several HIV specialists IN Thailand.

While the HIV rate among prostitutes is that high... 80-90%, they do not tell you that the majority of the prostitution in Thailand is NOT for the tourist. For those of you who go there, try to fathom this... ALL the whores you see in ALL of Thailand is about 2% of the total prostitution in Thailand!!! There are a few reports out there about this if you want to look for them.

So 98% of the whores are for Thai men who mostly refuse to wear condoms with prostitutes. Even worse, a large majority of all this takes place in the "Golden Triangle" areas where IV drug use runs rampant. So these guys AND girls are shooting up, sharing needles and fucking with no rubbers. It is an HIV breeding factory. In fact, the hill tribes are so infected now with HIV that they predict that within 8 to 10 years, most of the hill tribes in northern Thailand will no longer exist.

The other problem are the girls (who service tourist) who visit Karaoke bars and PAY THAI MEN TO FUCK THEM. OF course these men do not wear rubbers and the majority of these men are Bi-Sexual... spreading the bug once again to the girls. More girls do this than you know.

So the deal is, YES, HIV is high in Thailand among sex workers but the majority of it is with the sex workers who service Thai men, not foreigners. But it does exist in those areas quite a bit, but not 80%. Based on the number of positive girls we have tested, I would say around 10%.

WITH THAT SAID....

Just 2 - 3 weeks ago they release a report that HIV is on the rise again EVERYWHERE and they are expecting another epidemic equal or worse than what they had in the early 90's. That was a HUGE problem in all areas. So if it's coming back to that, and I know that with the increase of HIV girls we have tested that it is... Thailand is heading for dark days very soon.

In conclusion, just make sure your girl is pretty & young. It is impossible to catch something from a pretty 18 year old. :winkwink: :helpme

febem is only for people under 18, and it's not a good place to be indeed

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Isn't it very dangerous there?

god i love whores....

So what is the smart way to shoot content in Thailand without using the answer just don't.

i concur.

:thumbsup

And hey, even if you do catch something, at least it was worth it :winkwink:

To find out what can be produced behind closed doors in Thailand go see a Thai lawyer. And to give you some idea of what to expect ? In Thailand it is illegal to leave your house if you are not wearing underwear.

Don?t listen to the shit people speak here because most don?t know their ass from their feet let alone Thai porn laws.

Not dangerous if you know what you're doing and where you're going.

Yea, and spreading HIV. Someone needs to put a bullet in those fuckers heads.

At least now they wear condoms. I guess after barebacking ladyboys in the ass pipe for years it caught up with them.

Now that is scarry. Has anyone figured out who it is?

nope... bump to make sure :thumbsup

bump lets catch him

It could be only one of two content photographers the cops are after in Bangkok (that are well known and big enough for them to give a shit...).

It is either Brad Koerner (American) from asianxxxcontent.com or Nigel from asianstreetmeat.com (who is British).

My gut feeling is that it is Brad, since they are looking for a Yank and he has not been seen for a while. The cops have been after him for years and he has had severtal close calls. Looks like it could be the end of the line for this poor guy...

Like they say, if you play with fire and take the risk, sooner or latyer you will get burned.

The most intelligent thing I've read all day.

If you're going to shoot porn out there for Christ sake's BE DISCREET about it. They would love nothing more than take a 'dirty farang' and throw the book at him. They have before.

You're someone who either has never been to Southeast Asia or has succumbed to the fear mongering about Thailand to the point where your head is so far up your ass that you can lick your own tonsils.

By the way, if it's Nigel, I'll applaud the day that guy is staying at the Bangkok Hilton.

You still see hookers that age in most US and Canadian cities... can't blame the country for a few fucked up people.

and every minute would be well deserved :2 cents:
