re: "Use law to fix tainted image" (BP Editorial, March 1)
Dear editor,
The moral and sensible reform, one long overdue, is to legalize prostitution. But since that would deal a body blow to much entrenched corruption by Thai officials in the lucrative Thai-justice business, the farce of Thai male adults in uniforms pretending to oppose sex for money will continue unabated.
The embarrassment should not be that Thailand has a reputation as a go to place for sex tourists, but that Thai law and its officials corruptly pretend to have high moral standards as an excuse to rip off money from the sex industry by exploiting the morally bad law made up for that purpose.
