Thai prostitution

So, I was doing a little research, and found out a lot about prostitution in Thailand. Our group is focusing on Thailand, Amsterdam and the U.S. but Thai prostitutes are so much easier to find information on. Anyway, apparently many Thai women  (not the prostitutes) feel that open and accepted prostitution in their country reduces the rate of rape....I think I should look a little more into statistics on that one. 

Also, the different types of prostitution was strange. There are "short time" girls and "long time" girls who stick with men for a night and usually the next day. The strangest thing to me was that many prostitutes provide men with "girlfriend experiences". This is when one girl sticks with the man for his entire vacation. She actually pretends to care about him and acts like a loving, doting girlfriend.
