Thailand
Exotic holiday paradise, permanent Asian smiles, relative prosperity - Thailand's greatest asset is tourism. The newly industrialised country has been able to significantly reduce poverty in recent decades. And yet not everything is as good as it seems at first glance. Poverty, especially in the rural regions in the north and south, and sex tourism with all its ugly consequences have become a major problem.
