AURORA — Matt Hook isn’t trying to eliminate the business of prostitution in Thailand, he just wants it to return to a “normal number.”
Since the end of the Vietnam War, Hook said, Thailand has seen a rampant rise in prostitution — it is estimated that there are up to 300,000 prostitutes, or sex workers, in the country.
“It makes sense,” Hook said of Thailand’s sex trade business; it is a way for young women to make money and feed their families in an area where women have few economic options.
