  • 05 JANUARY 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  People drink at a portable bar in a red light district off of Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. Prostitution in Thailand is technically illegal, although in practice it is tolerated and partly regulated. Prostitution is practiced openly throughout the country. The number of prostitutes is difficult to determine, estimates vary widely. Since the Vietnam War, Thailand has gained international notoriety among travelers from many countries as a sex tourism destination. One estimate published in 2003 placed the trade at US$ 4.3 billion per year or about three percent of the Thai economy. It has been suggested that at least 10% of tourist dollars may be spent on the sex trade. According to a 2001 report by the World Health Organisation: "There are between 150,000 and 200,000 sex workers (in Thailand)."      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 27 NOVEMBER 2012 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  Fruit punches for sale on a street in front of Wat Saket, during the temple's fair in Bangkok. Wat Saket, popularly known as the Golden Mount or "Phu Khao Thong," is one of the most popular and oldest Buddhist temples in Bangkok. It dates to the Ayutthaya period (roughly 1350-1767 AD) and was renovated extensively when the Siamese fled Ayutthaya and established their new capitol in Bangkok. The temple holds an annual fair in November, the week of the full moon. It's one of the most popular temple fairs in Bangkok. The fair draws people from across Bangkok and spills out in the streets around the temple.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
