Quite simple if you wish or are stupid enough to go to such a dump of a place. a place that has evolved simply to provide what western tourists want, ( supply and demand) with Zero understanding or interest for the local customs or laws. then what do you expect. what is int written is how many girls are killed each year by western tourists, or how many cops are killed by western tourists.
If aussies want to go there they are actually quite stupid. Kanganarbury ( bridge over the river Kwai) or Ubon Ratchatani, etc are much nicer places.
