  • 12 JANUARY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:  A tuk-tuk driver on Sukhmvit Road between the red light districts of Nana and Soi Cowboy. Prostitution in Thailand is illegal, although in practice it is tolerated and partly regulated. Prostitution is practiced openly throughout the country. The number of prostitutes is difficult to determine, estimates vary widely. Since the Vietnam War, Thailand has gained international notoriety among travelers from many countries as a sex tourism destination. One estimate published in 2003 placed the trade at US$ 4.3 billion per year or about three percent of the Thai economy. It has been suggested that at least 10% of tourist dollars may be spent on the sex trade. According to a 2001 report by the World Health Organisation: "There are between 150,000 and 200,000 sex workers (in Thailand)."    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 05 ARPIL 2010 - NAKHON PHANOM, THAILAND: A tuk-tuk (three wheeled taxi) takes visitors out of the Mekong River bed in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. Normally the river flows completely through the river bed but it's currently running through a channel in the bottom of the river bed. Thais have turned their side of the nearly empty river into a beach and playground. The region is in the midst of a record setting drought and the Mekong River is at its lowest point in nearly 50 years, setting up an environmental disaster the region has never seen before. Many of the people who live along the river farm and fish. They claim their crops yields are greatly reduced and that many days they return from fishing with empty nets. The river is so shallow now that fisherman who used to go out in boats now work from the banks and sandbars on foot or wade into the river. In addition to low river levels the Isan region of Thailand is also in the midst of a record drought and heat wave. Farmers have been encouraged to switch from rice to less water intensive crops and to expect lower yields. Farmers here rely more on rain fall than irrigation to water their crops.

Many Cambodian residents of Sihanoukville  have lost their homes to make way for the casinos and the jobs are going to Chinese workers, brought in to build casinos and work in the casinos.
