Prostitution and Thai women (and men, although with a lower profile) have long been claiming attention from Asia-Pacific and Euro-Asian academic, civic, governmental and popular discourses as an inseparable pairing of social 'problems'. In Japan, it was in the 1980s that feminist activists, journalists and social critics began to protest against Japanese male customers involved in the rampant sex industry as tourists as well as chuzai-in (company employees - presumed male - stationed in a foreign country: Japanese) in Thailand. The flow of potential male customers from Japan to Thailand increased particularly after the Plaza Accord of 1985, and then again after the Visit Thailand Year of 1987 campaign organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
This book highlights the grey area between sex work and trafficking and draws on the themes of gender, migration and deviance.
