Pattaya, the World's largest lawless red light district in Thailand with 27,000 prostitutes (photos)

Pattaya, in Thailand, is considered the world's largest unofficial sex capital- and it didn't get that title for a reason. According to the Sun UK's Luke Williams, Human rights groups have branded Pattaya as a “paedophile paradise”:

'It has a reported 27,000 prostitutes, but is also where some people go to find a wife. On arrival, I saw hundreds of  usually extremely overweight older white western men walk around with young Thai girlfriends.

 It’s a city full of white men, there one to every three Thai men.

There’s also white sand, luxury white condos, teeth whitening dentists everywhere and make-up adverts promising to whiten Thai girls skin.

Shop wise, take your pick from McDonald’s, Dollhouse A Go Go, Just for Fun, Lucky Finger Massage, Angelwitch, Ladyboys R US, 7-11, Starbucks, The Classroom, Sabai Massage, Sue’s Place (now repeat that 30 times, slightly alter the names and that’s Pattaya for you).

At a bar called Kangaroo Korner, I chat to a man from Melbourne, Australia, who says: “I prefer Thai women … I’ve been burned too many times by women back home.”“I know it’s just about the money for them, I am not looking for love.”

When I question his motivations he replies: “Mate, you are overthinking things — just enjoy yourself, relax, and have another drink with me.”

The next day I head  to Pattaya Beach’s ‘strip’, where I meet a 50-year-old Australian guy who met his first wife there 12 years ago. They had two kids and got divorced three weeks before. Now he is engaged to a 23-year-old Thai woman he met ten days ago.He tells me:

“Thai women they are subservient. Don’t get me wrong I don’t like them being as subservient as they are … but they cook and clean, they really look after you. I do like that… but now I’ve got this girl, we met ten days ago, I can already tell it’s going to work. But you know my wife and children hate me, even my friends think I am an a***hole. The way I look at it, I only have 20 years left of living, I want to be able to enjoy my life.”

Next I head to the notorious Windmill venue. Thai women are on the stage dressed tiny tartan skirts.

None are wearing underwear or bras and all are wearing high heels.

The white men sit around the stage, laughing, guzzling beer: hitting and poking them with bar-supplied, beer-branded, polystyrene-foam sticks.'

'A naked young woman is staring at me with her unblinking glass eye as she casually performs a sex act on herself in the nightclub’s shower.

I ask a punter whether the city is doing anyone – men, sex workers – any harm.'

He replies:

“Lots of Western guys are here for different reasons. If we get a jealous Thai ex-lover, or if a woman here is connected to a gang, or tries to kill you for your money — of course, that’s why you should never get too involved. This place is just about stress relief, especially if you are a divorcee like me.”

I ask about the prostitutes’ welfare.'

He replies:

“It works for them mate, trust me, they get a lot of money out of this.”

The following night, I spot a sex worker who is begging. She’s got a cut and bruise across a quarter of her face, but refuses to go to the police.'

The police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said one of those indicted by the Kpojime Commission, Mr Richard Gbande, escaped when police went to arrest him, but two of his cars were impounded.
Another source revealed that large amounts of money and ammunition were recovered from the houses of some of those arrested.
In his reaction to the development, the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Michael Gusa, who also confirmed the arrests, stated that Ortom’s administration would do everything legally possible to recover the looted funds.

Ese Walter speaks on why she married OAP, Benny Ark

Ese Walter of Femina Speaks shared an emotional piece on how she has grown to love her husband, Benny Ark.

Walter reflected on how the few months of her marriage was a mess, how she wanted out and how she has grown to love the man she is married to.

According to her, she was not in love with Benny Ark when she got married to him. She just needed a change of story.

Read her post on Instagram below:

"When I agreed to marry him two and a half years ago, I didn't love him. Heck I didn't love my own self. I just needed a change of story. I needed to stop being the girl everyone called an evil mistress and "graduate" to somebody's Mrs I thought the Mrs title was going to save my ass and bring me some sort of redemption. I was wrong.

Calling what happened next a disaster is putting it mildly. Weeks into living together brought out the worse in both of us. I thought I made a mistake. I didn't trust him so why was I married to him. We would argue over everything and I convinced myself I wanted out despite the baby on the way. In therapy, I was able to face my own demons for the first time.

I realised it was never about him or the other guys I dated. I was always looking for a fix outside of myself. I was always needing someone to take away the pain and save my lonely self. I was looking for what I wasn't because I thought that could heal me.

Months of living outside my comfort zone and going where the pain was brought me face to face with my demons that saved me. I didn't trust him because I didn't trust me. I couldn't love him because I had no love to give. I was always blaming him because it was easier to project than take responsibility. As I started to evolve and see my own self, I was able to see him for the first time.

As I started loving myself, I was able to love him and now as I learn to trust myself, I am trusting him, one day at a time. As I lay beside him last night I remembered a quote I read sometime ago. I don't remember who said it but it read, "when you love the one you got, the one you got becomes the one you love."

When I stopped trying to change him and let him be, I was able to give room for his own evolving. He ain't perfect. Who wants perfect anyways? I am learning that all is as it should be in the Universe, there are no mistakes only feedback.

The Universe brought the one I needed for my evolving and I am thankful. GRATITUDE is my dominant feeling this morning. If you are struggling with the one you love, know that the world's standard of love is fucked up. Vibrate higher and love because of love.”
