Male prostitutes in Thailand

Categories: Asia

The project "Young" Thai photographer and Director of OMA Phanphiroj very multi-layered and complex. It is dedicated to the underage boy prostitute from Thailand. According to a study conducted in 2004, in Thailand, about 800,000 young boys prostitutes. However, the photographer decided to show another, more emotional side. The portraits make you think, look boys, it seems endless, it pierces you.

"In psychological terms, this project offers a provocative portraits of lost souls. You see clutter and deep-rooted issues of family, adolescence and the society in Thailand. Under each photo a brief information about each boy, so you can at least briefly, to look at their life. Although these boys call themselves straight and sleep with gay men just for the money, almost none of them ever slept with women. Many simply say that you must first pass through sex with a man, then to know how to sleep with women. I want these pictures became a mirror, reflecting the rotten reality of violence against children and their sexual exploitation. I also want to put painful questions about life, choices, consequences and humanity. And finally, I hope that this project will shed some light on this situation and will make us think about society, corruption, morality, and relation to man", first Phanphiroj.
