Thailand has promised to eradicate its notorious sex tourism industry as it attempts to reinvent itself as a female-friendly travel destination.
为重塑泰国适宜女性游客的旅游胜地形象,泰国政府承诺将终止臭名昭著的性旅游业。

当前人口拐卖与雏妓问题日益引起社会关注,泰国首位女性旅游部长科甘·瓦他那朗恭承诺将终止性旅游业,上月警方对泰国的一些妓院进行了突击检查。
“We want Thailand to be about quality tourism. We want the sex industry gone,” Ms Kobkarn told Reuters.
科甘女士在路透社的采访中指出:“我们希望泰国提供高品质旅游活动,我们呼吁那些色情产业赶紧关门。”
