400,000 German men fly to Thailand for 'vacation.' The cameras follow. So should you.
Prostitution is banned in Thailand, yet every year about 400,000 men from Germany travel to the Asian country. The so-called sex tourists spend a few nice days in the coastal city of Pattaya with bought "girlfriends" and thus circumvent the prostitution ban. Besides seemingly harmless sex meetings, however, there is also child prostitution, which has worsened especially since the Corona lockdown and also poses major problems for the police.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Director Wolfgang Luck appears on camera deliberately—rare for exposé docs—to force viewers to confront who gets to 'observe' this exploitation.
