US aircraft carrier visit to Pattaya raises sex-tourism fears
Nearly 5,000 US sailors and Marines are arriving in Pattaya, Thailand, this week after over 200 days at sea. Pattaya police have already detained 25 people for alleged prostitution, stepping up enforcement before the USS Abraham Lincoln docks on Wednesday. The visit brings hopes of an economic boost, but also concerns about sexual exploitation and disease spread.
