Pattaya's Image as the Sex Capital of Thailand

WALKING STREET, PATTAYA, THAILAND - 2013/02/19: A tourist captures a moment with his cell phone camera after seeing two young girls strip through a brothel window.

While the city remains a popular destination, drawing throngs of travelers throughout the year, some people are keen to clean up the seaside resort's image and to improve the situation for thousands of sex workers. But with much of the town's erstwhile coastal charm obliterated by high rise buildings and Go Go bars, is it too late for Pattaya to be saved?. (Photo by Jonas Gratzer/LightRocket via Getty Images)
