The size of Singapore, the islands has over 40 beaches and several large resorts, however it is the capital of Phuket City commonly called Phuket Town which is the centre of the tourism industry.

In Phuket, the draw of a constant stream of international tourists, often with money to spend on entertainment, is enough to make it a popular location for women, ladyboys and guys to make a good living from sex-work.
Most of the sex workers in Phuket are Thai but you will also find some from countries like Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia. Likewise, clientele for the industry is just as diverse and, although Westerners still flock to Thailand for its sex industry, you can find a lot of Asian tourists in Phuket.
