Angels of Pattaya: Inside the Secret World of Thai Prostitution – G.T. Gray

Short interviews with prostitudes and escorts in Thailand, mostly in Bangkok and Pattaya.

A poignant and important documentary project, this book uncovers how these many, many women lead their lives. Mostly coming from abject poverty, they have a chance to build a better life for themselves and their families by entering the “oldest profession”. The interview are candid, uncensored, raw, and while often heartbreaking they are also sometimes full of hope, even joy. The last interview, with an American bar owner, is a perfect capstone.
