Jonathan Taylor Photography says:

I shot from the hip until I got booted out of this brothel. The owners got very suspicious of me and wanted my film. It was a bit worrying for a while.
The piece ran as a Time cover and when I went back to the area all the places had been closed down.

Jonathan Taylor Photography says:

Not her unfortunately me and the journalist from Time did make a stupid but well intentioned attempt to "save two girls". He promised our naive attempts would not be used in the text of the Time cover piece we were doing. When I read the first paragraph of the story I was shocked he included it. But at the point his story ends wasn't the end of the story for me. I stayed on an extra three weeks to at least make the two lives involved a bit easier and free from the brothel. we were promised by a large NGO they would be looked after. This organization receives large generous founds from the UN etc. supposedly helping reintegrate these traffic children back into mainstream society. The NGO workers all drive massive land cruisers and the girls under their care over the 3 years since they started their programme numbered only 4 people.
The piece can be seen if you search Time Asia's website but please understand what drove us to cross the line from reporting to actively trying to help and try to reserve judgement.

odysseus221 says:

Having lived in Pattaya for 6 months while studying scuba, I can say that while sex is very much the standard fare, there really is no evidence of any coercion at all. The evolution of this culture has its roots in history and especially the visitations of western armies which generally are noted for their interest in sex with the natives.

The hill tribes which border on several countries are indeed exploited and should I think be given citizenship simultaneously in three countries, since they move around alot. This is a political problem for the United Nations. While it seems easily solved, it is about as easy as deciding the fate of 11 million illegal Mexicans in the US. Certainly a proportion of their population is sexually exploiting children as well, but with no coverage. Covering Asia is chic because it is foreign, exotic, the girls are beautiful in general, and they don't have the same religion which in large part means suggests to me that there is a strong bias against non-Christian nations in sensationalizing socio-economic problems and their manifestations.

The idea that slavery is standard fare in Thailand is absolutely false, sensational and insulting. The Thais that I know I think would agree.
How about a pictoral on Israeli sex slavery? None to date! I hear they like to enslave Ukrainian girls. Or is this a politically charged subject due to our military and political alliances?

I have made many dalliances with Thai girls and while this is looked down upon in regular Thai society, these girls in general make out very well just as beautiful women who do this in New York do. However, there doesn't seem to be any interest in New York companionship for hire. If you check the newspapers you'll find thousands available.

Just exactly when does a young women start to have sex in foreign cultures anyway? In some countries they are married off at 12 years.
It is not exploitation but a cultural perspective which apparently works. Selling children is of course repulsive and I think the government of Thailand has in large part put a stop to this practice.

The photographer should file a report at the local police station just as he would here. I am very sure they would take care of the issue. Any representation that they would not is propaganda.

odysseus221 says:

I also find suspicous your photograph. This is a girl well cared for in a very clean room. I wonder if this is a genuine "sex slave" or a portrait of a young Thai girl which a clever photographer labels "sex slave."

Where is the address of the building? Where is the location please?
We will have the police check this out. Don't worry, I have a friend whose father is a general in Thailand, I will give her the information immediately.

well, excuse my ignorance. is this totally legal in there? do they have any law against selling baby girls?

having been to thailand for a very short time, sex related issues often caught my attentions there. it felt weird and sad...
Posted 41 months ago. ( permalink )

odysseus221 says:

Nobody goes to any Asian country and doesn't get that the availability of sex is standard fare. Any illusions about this being weird, is probably related to a person's uncomfort with their own sexual function.

odysseus221 says:

They did however, unwittingly sell baby's in Cambodia until this practice was stopped. I believe the Canadian or American woman who tricked went around to the villages was put in jail in the US.It was on 60 minutes. Adopting baby's is big business. Just ask Brad Pitt's wife.

alaskangrl says:

I lived in Bangkok for some time and did some work with child prostitutes. Yes, Asia has an availability of sex, no its not wierd. Grown women are not as often coerced into this kind of lifestyle.
But this is wrong. No amount of justifying it makes it ok. I do not think that Mr. Jonathan Taylor was implying that "slavery was standard fare" but instead was highlighting a very real problem. Its a fact that these children are slaves. Would a small 7-11 year old girl would CHOOSE this lifestyle??
I have worked both in the brothels and the Hilltribe areas inside Thailand and Burma. These children are either sold into this by thier families or tricked into it by unscupulous people who specialize in making money off of desperate people. The baby selling fiasco in Cambodia is by no means the only sham one can point to in this area. It unfortunatly happens here in the US as well, and do not think that I am singleing out this beautiful country that I will soon call home for stigma. I do what I can here in my home country as well. I do not think that one should ignore damage to children WHEREVER they are. Children this young do not have the emotional tools to understand what is happening to them or to protect themselves. Adult prostitution is one thing - Child prostitution is another.
I am not sure why you chose to attack someone who is trying to expose something bad!?? If you truly think it is child prostiution is replusive then why be confrontational with someone who is doing something to help? That makes no sense. These things have to be made known to the world at large before they will be stopped. These pictures are attempting to do that.
While your dalliances with Thai women (hopefully not girls) are between you and the women you dally with, do not assume that just because the WOMEN you messed around with weren't slaves doesn't mean the children aren't ......... justifying child prostitution by saying that they MAY be married off at age twelve is just wrong. They are rarely married off that young, and if they are its unlikely that they will come into contact with multiple sexual partners against thier will. I have held a 12 year old girl that died of AIDS as a result of this. When you can look into her face and justify that then you will have something to say.

odysseus221 says:

Right! Not justifying any of this stuff at all. It is terrible. Just questioning whether in fact the photographer actually gained access to such places as a foreign person. Generally a place that has access to persons held against their will does not cater to foreigners since it is a highly illegal situation and Thai jails are notoriously terrible places. The police just won't tolerate child prostitution and any suggestion that they will is an insult. In many ways Asians are alot more healthy and free than our societies especially sexually. That said, I do not wish to seem upset with the facts if they are the facts,.Selling children in the North has been well documented in the past. But is that today's news or yesterday's news rehashed? The cases that are found should immediately be reported to authorities for police action--NOT THREE MONTHS LATER. This .is my problem with the story. It wasnt' reported to the authorities. I don't believe it without a police report to corroborate the story.
IT IS ILLEGAL IN THAILAND TO HAVE SEX WITH CHILDREN.

The United States pressured these countries to eradicate opium production. It aided in military arms to complete this mission. But it always leaves the people stranded after they get their military mission accomplished. Why are they not helping develop these regions that have no means of support? Can we do nothing but ship arms to the world???

The idea that children are sold?The mayor of Waterbury, Connecticut city is in jail now after having sex with two ten year old girls provided by their parents!!! So does this mean Americans sell their children for sex?

The "attack" as you say is only healthy scepticism. I don't believe everything I read or accept photos as truth. Establishing truth is a long road. Because I have been in Thailand, I know that there are two types of establishments--one for foreigners and one for Thais. I don't believe the photographer could access such a place if it existed at all. The fact that this address wasn't reported, and now the reporter says, three months later they went back and it doesn't exist means there is no corroborative evidence. Could this be just rehashing an old story line? I don't know. Prove it!!! A picture doesn't prove anything whatsoever. Nothing is documented in this picture. I am asking for documentation. All I am saying is that things have changed in this regard and the things that went on in the past are rapidly fading from today. Yesterday's facts or todays? That is the question.

As for the impact of seeing a young person who was in such a vile condition, this is a tragic, terrible thing. There is nothing to justify. While I am sure you are not Mother Teresa, caring for the sick and dying, the children and the helpless is laudible.

The culture of prostitution in Asia is very alive and doesn't need any coersion. I hope this clarifies my position and lends alittle dignity to a people and their lives regardless of whether we in the west agree with them.

I also didn't justify child prostitution by suggesting that they are married off at twelve. In the United states as in England, in prior times children were married off even at 9 years. One such fellow was the illigitimate son of King James. You see, child marriages were very common in the old days. Child marriage is not prostitution.
I only suggest that sexual activity begins in different societies at different times. In agrarian economies it generally begins earlier as the life expectancy is also shorter.

In closing, I am a very sensitive person, well spoken I feel, and I think caring. This doesn't mean we must accept the words of everyone as the gospel. Even that story has left us with questions.

alaskangrl says:

Yes you are well spoken and I apologize for misunderstanding you. Please understand that its a subject very close to my heart.

But I gained access to these places as a farang woman, even when they knew that I was working to counsel child prostitutes! They are not as difficult to get into as one might think. Even easier in Bangkok than other places, probably just because of the sheer number of them. There is however unpleasant to think about, a thriving buisiness of young children being offered to foreigners. Often some girls (as young as 7!!) would tell me that thier clients were almost exclusively foreign. Maybe its different in Pattaya - but definatly common in Bangkok. The police do not always make themselves so helpful. Often my attempts to alert them were greeted with skeptiscim and a raised eyebrow.
Also fake photo or not - wouldn't the effect be the same? That of bringing to attention a problem? I think whether the pic is real or not it brings to mind something that needs to be thought about and isn't very often. The photographers integrity is his buisiness really. Although don't get me wrong - I am not advocating that people run out and fake pics for thier cause.
The situations that our government has created in this area (and others but this is the subject at hand) is deplorable, I totally agree with that. The current attempt at genocide that is happening RIGHT NOW in Burma was/is partially funded by american oil interests. So really, we aren't just giving guns out, we are giving out money to buy more guns as well! And all the warfare creates children that are orphaned or from starving families, which are ripe for the picking as far as the pimps are concerned. The flow of children from these areas is astronomical.
Also we almost never convict people that come to Asia for the specific purpose of child prostitution at all. They come and go and feel free enough to post thier nightly escapades on the net with thier names and email addresses in full view because they know that when they get home nothing will happen.
I have very little problem with adult prostitution other than the diseases it breeds. Adults can do what they want, when and where they want. Some women are coereced, but that happens everywhere, not just Asia.
I love the sexuality of Asia, not having the puritanical base that westerners do its freeing and relaxed. And yes, different cultures start sexual activity at different times. But I do not find that fact relevant so much because its done (usually - not always) with an eye towards making one a productive member of society. Puritanical leanings aside - it has been proven that societies that start earlier have more difficulty with maintaining relationships and the women will report less sexual satisfaction than societies where they were introduced to sex later.
But this is an issue that I can't pass up - having looked into thier little faces and seen the damage that will never go away.
Once again I am sorry for misunderstanding.

The picture is a 100% genuine of course.
The chips in front of her are counters given by the Mama San for each of her "customers". Northern Thailand has cleaned up its act recently though, I am glad to say. The picture was taken a few years ago now.

Hi Jonathan - it's me Bets now in Oslo -- it really breaks my heart to see this. There are probably no 'appropriate words' to describe how this young girl feels. As I keep on re-iterating, I believe that there MUST be more studies-essays done on the BUYERS of these girls and older ones. It would indeed be remarkable if sex BUYERS CAN be photographed. They all tend to 'run', don't they ? I am sure that what I am about to say could be 'unpopular' but why not shift the enormous stigmatization over to the buyers of sex ? Why should these girls carry the stigmatization of their wounds to their graves and beyond ? I would like to see and to Meet the buyers of these young girls. Anyone interested ?? xoxo bk

bak10 says:

... I have heard now about girls young as 5 from Vietnam being sold as sex slaves to pedophelic customers. As I understand from a gallery in San Jose,CA who is doing a feature on this, the 'customers' for these kids prefer them literally malnourished and handicapped due to easier handling and reduced mobility, I suppose. I have no 'real words' to describe how to describe what I feel for them. How could I or anyone ? I would like to laud Jonathan's work and his courage to expose this. In terms of 'validating' an adult sex worker's 'choice' to be in the 'industry', I would like to first examine the actual backgrounds of these more 'adult' women before one can determine whether they actually had some kind of 'choice'. bk

bak10 says:

.. and in terms of a comment above re 'child marriage is not prostitution'.. I have reservations/problems with that. I can understand that the laws had unfortunately 'legitimized' child marriages during those times... However, please remember that many, many laws in place do not often meet the 'best needs' or highest needs of people... Laws are made by mortal people just like you and I who do not always have 'perfect knowledge' on what is 'best' or 'good' for people...... in terms of evaluating a situation, why not try something simpler like -- do you think that these child brides or grooms really wanted to be 'wed' when they were ? Did they really have what we today would be considered as 'free choice' ? and do you think that the young girls as brides really looked forward to having had to have sex with their quite often much older grooms who were probably strangers to them ? I am afraid that the majority of the answers would be in the negative. ...

frisky_flickrfiend says:

Many letters ago, someone wrote prove that child slavery exists.
This visual forum exists for debates such as this.

First of all is the child, or the social context that she is in.
Second to this is the comment the journalist is making.
Thirdly should be the sense that the image is giving to you. The young girl feels ashamed, since she has been used even in her backside.
If people would choose greater awareness through compassionate empathy, photos of these terrible events would give them a start upon understanding the cruel world that we live in.

It is just too sad that little guys like us can't always make the difference.
Posted 37 months ago. ( permalink )

Jonathan Taylor Photography says:

The amount of times I almost took this off Flickr is a lot....BUT

-The girl was fully aware of what I was taking the picture for, she had no other recourse to act against the forces that put her there. Including her parents, who she would never openly criticize.

-Yes of course I meant to blur the picture for her sake and "art" has nothing to do with reporting an issue like this. It would actually be an aberration and superfluous.

- The brothels like hers in Northern Thailand have been closed down now. Maybe not all but the open easy to find ones. I feel this is partly due to the negative image it portrayed to the western media and Bangkokian morality. I am hoping my Time cover piece played its small part too. But forgetting it once existed there would be wrong and could lead to its return.

- Child Sex Slavery and exploitation is still a very big problem in South East Asia. It has nothing to do with any racial issues just poverty and human greed.

- As to contacting the police. These were visable open brothels with children in them in a border province. Do you think they would have been shocked and rushed to close them?

Please do not remove from Flickr. The more people who know what is going on, the better. People may know that something is happening in Thailand, but a picture like this drives it home. People cannot put it in the back of their minds this when they see your photo. My blood is boiling. These people are lucky I am on the other side of the planet.

People who rescue these girls are going to have to know exactly what they are dealing with. These poor girls are going to have to require psychological help at least.

I think you should do an exposé on these UN people to get some reform so that the girls get the help the world wants them to get.

RockN says:

I have never been to Thailand and have no wish to judge the people of that country. They are probably no better or worse than those of any other country. Much of this goes on here in the U.S., in Europe, everywhere. I cannot even bring myself to judge those who sold a young daughter into this situation, knowing nothing of their circumstances. Perhaps they thought they were sending her to a better life. What we do see here is a child who is suffering. It is a story of inhumanity that is as old as human history, but should never EVER be ignored or tolerated. Jonathan, please keep continuing to do what you do.

child prostitution is wrong. no matter which way you look at it.

if you have ever been abused by an adult, you will realise that it stays with you forever, and most people never recover from it. i have been abused (albeit not exactly like this) and let me tell you - this is evil, cruel, and this has to be stopped.

to all those that claim its ok for this to happen because of culture, religion, tradition and all that crap - let me ask you this, if this was happening to you, or to your daughter, how would you feel then?

to Odysseus:

*While it seems easily solved, it is about as easy as deciding the fate of 11 million illegal Mexicans in the US. Certainly a proportion of their population is sexually exploiting children as well, but with no coverage*- This is extremely true. I work with severe at risk children in NY and some have been victims of child prostitution or rape. This is certainly going on and nothe being covered just like you said. Cher, the singer, is a strong advocate and in throughout the US (including Hawaii) gives millions to various shelters helping such sex victims. Also, many American girls (and smtms boys) are stolen and taken to Asia.

*The idea that slavery is standard fare in Thailand is absolutely false, sensational and insulting*- We all know this, nevertheless it must be said it occurs. I've lived in Brazil and I currently live in the US (I'm Italian) and I see a lot of shit go on that the people of the nation don't want you to know about or don't have a clue about. From what I've heard Thai police and citizens are working their hardest to stop it, and it is western white tourist men who are making this such a problem (along with extreme poverty).

* hear they like to enslave Ukrainian girls. Or is this a politically charged subject due to our military and political alliances?*- It seems to my friend that media news sources will never publish the shit that goes on in "wealthy" countries like the UK or Canada or the USA or in white Europe. Ask the media to air either something good in Asia or Africa or something bad in Europe, and you're extremely lucky to have them do it. I think you already knew this : )

*Thai society, these girls in general make out very well just as beautiful women who do this in New York do. However, there doesn't seem to be any interest in New York companionship for hire. *- Actually, depends. Some women can prositute and go on to be fine. Other women get into it and never change (mental trauma). Other women have been coerced NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE FROM!! (not yelling, just want you to notice that 1 statement). Here in NY, a prostitute can be arrested but not a pimp. Many times a prostitute is a drug addict here. NYC prostitutes are a lot different than the ones I saw in Kiev or Amsterdam.

*Just exactly when does a young women start to have sex in foreign cultures anyway? In some countries they are married off at 12 years.
It is not exploitation but a cultural perspective which apparently works*- ok, sorry gotta go New Yorker on you-....Yo ARE U OUT YA FUCKIN MIND SON?? WHERE DA HELL YOU COME UP IN HERE LIKE DAT? FA REAL, YOU RETARDED!! Sorry, I gotta yell at you like that. How old are you? Girls married at 12 or even 15 in these cultures have NO women's rights (and yes I am aware of the lack of women's rights in the western world and it's nothing like this and YES I have lived in South America and Africa in non western worlds). They never got a say in this. Tribulation is not a choice, it's an act of inhumanity. Rape of a married 12 yr. old to some 35 yr. old is RAPE, not culture. That is NOT culture, that's abuse and dominance. I think Eric Lafforgue would even agree with that! You're statement would then justify the use of child soldiers and call it culture.*
IF YOU DO FIND MARRYING CHILDREN AT AGE 12-15 HORRENDOUS AND THIS PROSTITUTION THAN PRETEND I DIDN'T YELL AT YOU.

*Any representation that they would not is propaganda. *- extremely true

A marriage her e means to pay to the father/mother about $ 3000,but you donot buy. because the wife always can go.

From time totime parents who sell children are put in jail.

So called reporters, not becoming part of the story is laughable.
They promote and compete to be published. One upmanship is required unless the "story" is timely with the editor's current agenda. How many times does the public need to see "reporters" caught fabircating "facts" before it gets understands? Publishers are not advertising between the "stories", the "stories" are between the ads.
When you wake up to the fact your being manipulated by this industry you will become a truely better person

This was Mae Sai, but as mentioned above it has cleaned up its act a lot it seems. All the places I visited on this assignment, once for the BBC and then again for Time, seem to have adult women working in them.

I find it amusing that people question the authenticity of my photographs. Not annoying funny enough, as long as the message is heard, its heard and the idea you could set things up could only be made by someone outside of the industry. It just wouldn't wash and you would be found out rather quickly.
