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. Here you can find some of the best bars, clubs and markets in the province including erotic massage parlors, go-go bars and karaoke clubs.
Prostitution is illegal in Thailand but widely tolerated and, as far as the authorities go, ignored. 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.

The price you pay will very much depend on the class and age of girl. Most women will negotiate. With the number of tourists in Phuket, it is little wonder that the escort scene is so busy and you can find a good range of ladies available to hire by the hour who provide outcall services. There is a real mix of nationalities on the escorts sites for Phuket with plenty of Thai girls but also a large number of European ladies.
Though the principle areas for this revenue are from Bangkok, there is no doubt that the industry follows the almighty dollar and you can find sex-workers wherever there are tourists. There is a good deal of choice of venues to choose from in Phuket where you can pick up all kinds of services; from erotic massages with a happy ending and more to the popular go-go bars where you get a full service from one of the bar girls.
