Digital Nomads

Thailand. Holy fuck some areas you can get herpes just from breathing the air.

Wrong sub

Thailand. Now this may rub people the wrong way because a lot of people like thailand (and yes, there are loads of 'normal tourists' there) but almost every (s)expat I've come across living there has been a sexual degenerate and/or misfit in western society. Their lives revolve around women and drinking.

(dis)honorable mention: Colombia, Phillipines, Cambodia. Lots of creepy motherfuckers descending on otherwise beautiful countries (which they've no real interest in seeing the sights of).

1. Ukraine (before war)
2. Thailand (after 2022)

The main difference between the two is that in Ukraine every single foreign guy I met was there for the girls/sex. In Thailand there are tons of sex tourists in Pattaya and even in Bangkok but many other people are there for the tourism, for working as digital nomads, to build local business, and enjoy the beautiful islands.

Honorable mentions: other countries in SEA although to a lesser extent than Thailand.

Dominican Republic

Thailand, Philippines, most of Southeast Asia save for Malaysia and Singapore for the most part… anywhere where 60 year old men holding hands with 18 year old women doesn’t get too many stares.

Cambodia. You can’t walk at night without being offered ‘girls’ every meter.

Pattaya, Thailand; but to be fair it has cleaned up its act compared to 1 or 2 decades ago combined with the stringent visa regulations.

Philippines,

Thailand, met some of the most vile Americans in their 60’s acting like hot shit for getting with 18 year old Thai girls.

It was pretty horrible to see.

The comments here are disgusting. I understand some creepers fly to those countries and exploit minors, but not all men are like that. There is nothing wrong with sex tourism as long as it’s consensual. Mind your own business.

Somehow this post was the last drop for me and made me unsubscribe to all my travel related subs. Found them tiring. Especially this one can be bad with the focus on negativity or repetitive questions ("how do I find remote work").

Colombia. Bunch of sexpat losers

Dubai. South Asian expats here are the seediest men I've come across my entire life and I am a very well travelled individual

The Gambia!!

Haiti. It's tiny but it's top tier level crim exports country.

The Philippines-by far. Fat, poor, broken down losers and creepers and they band together there. They denigrate the country constantly and also the locals. I own 2 homes in the Philippines and when I travel there with my wife and daughter, I stay far away from those losers, since many of them are from America and I do not want to be associated with them.

Nigeria. The sex tourism industry is real.

Thailand

China!

Businessmen are much more degenerate when it comes to extra curricular activities, plus that have much more budget for this kind of thing than backpackers.

When the Trade Fair takes place in Guangzhou twice a year, an army of hookers from the hinterlands travels into the city for a few weeks to service them. Chinese brothels, casinos, massage parlours and KTVs are far larger than anything you will find Thailand.

Amsterdam on a weekday seemed pretty seedy. The crowd seemed to get less seedy, but more rowdy on the weekend.

I know Thailand takes the top spot. The ones in Belize are pretty terrible too.

All these (dis)honorable mentions for the places with sex tourism, which is absolutely justified, however nobody is mentioning the other side if that coin.

Lets not forget places like Gambia and other African nations have to deal with this

Also, the Caribbean and South America

Hoarmongering gringos in Colombia.

Theres a place in Africa where western women sexpats go for "D".

Thailand and it’s not even close.

Has to be south east Asia but we’ve definitely got no shortage of absolute scum bag bros here in Medellin.

Thailand is just awkward watching obese western men holding hands with locals barely out of their teens. Colombia appears to be the new sexpat destination based on YouTube bros promoting it. Anytime westerners talk about going to the Philippines it’s obvious they’re into degenerate sex in 3rd world countries.

Cambodia for sex tourists—- lot of normal “lonely” men in Thailand but the Cambodia crowd was decidedly creepy. I’d guess that 50% of them would happily take a 15 year old back home. The PP girly bar street was stomach turning.

CAMBODIA. It was still an amazing trip because I just hung out with Cambodians (the tuck tuck drivers and boat drivers were fucking rad). But almost every foreigner I met was just dripping with...uchhhh if toxic masculinity was just palpable.

Colombia

Cambodia. never seen a cop

Indonesia (specifically Bali)

Thailand or Cambodia

Dubai - it's one big meat market ! It's a free for all of seedy explotation (male and female) with a thin veneer of respectability.

The sex tourism hubs

I have been to a lot of these SEA countries and spent between and a month to 6 weeks in each and didnt experience this really, I spent a month in Cambodia and didnt see or hear anything of it there. Thaliand I saw the odd old dude with a young woman which were less than half their age but then again I avoided Pattaya and Phuket as it's not my seen and I was back packing

What is the absolute best country for us gay headionist? Outside of the United States.

Southeast Asia takes the cake by far (more than South America), tons of overweight white orcs looking to pry on the underage (I've met folks who try to justify this) - they usually come from the Big Three (US/UK/Australia) but tons of Germans/Dutch/Russians have been flooding in for a while as well (ironic how the West is in large part against immigration but then proceed to abuse overstay and privileges literally everywhere elsewhere, look at the fucking mirror). My last visit to Pattaya saw groups of old white Australians acting like human filth and going after literal children as if they are sex products (Australia's primary export to the region is not metals or goods but sexpats). If you are offended or in disbelief, take a visit and see for yourself - you'll notice them right when you exit the airport.

Thailand for the young boy sex tourism.

Philippines for the super old 90 year old men coming for hot 20 year old women.

My first DN destination is Thailand, now y'all are starting to make me worry.

Can’t imagine they’re worse anywhere than your average Medellin sex/drug tourist

Seems like a lot of baby with the bathwater in this thread. Question for those replying: is any kind of "romantic" tourism permissible? "Passport bros" claim that dating standards are unreasonable for men in the US. It seems like there must exist some level of dating difficulty that would hypothetically make traveling to find partners reasonable. Like if 0% of men below the median height/income/whatever could find parners for instance, it seems like we shouldn't demonize them for looking abroad. Suppose the following were true:

• It is very very difficult to find sexual partners as a man in America

• American men only seek demostrably consenting adults in their romantic travels. Maybe their parnters are just pretending to like them in order to take advantage of them, but there is at least no good reason to believe they are under duress.

Would traveling to find partners in such a case be permissible? Would the intentions of these men need to be to find long-term partners or would short-term physical relationships be allowed? If not, what is unethical about them seeking purely physical relationships and do you think such relationships are broadly unethical?

Tourists in Angeles City in Pampanga, Philippines. It's a haven for old perverts, disgusting to look at and can't believe our incompetent government allowed these animals to rampant there.

One country that i dont see mentioned here is Dominican Republic. Any white or western male thats traveling to D.R alone, just know he's there for sex. The sex crimes laws there are practically non existent, combine that with extreme poverty and it's usually not a good combo.

And unlike Thailand, which offers alot as a tourist spot, DR is lacking anything, other than their beaches which can only be accessed through an overpriced resort.

anywhere r/Passport_Bros are

Kenya.

It's full of fat white women who come to prey on young black men.

Disgusting!
