These are parts of the world I don't generally think about or have any involvement in.

In the case of Thailand of course a lot of Irish holidaymakers will have tanned their pale skins on the beaches of Phuket and enjoyed late nights eating seafood and dancing in 'paradise' hotel restaurants. Some male sex tourists will have exploited the vulnerable underaged Thai 'service workers' who have been sold by impoverished parents into degrading careers plied along the back streets of Bangkok. <br />
<br />
So there is at least one thing we can do in Ireland - raise awareness of the undemocratic coup, the sex industry that degrades children and the slimy male customers whose foreign currency makes it possible. Encourage Irish tourists to avoid Thailand until democracy is restored.
