      I’ve heard Egypt is particularly bad for this.

      I also got offered 20 camels for my girlfriend at the time in Tunisia. I did that chap a big favour by not taking him up on his offer.

        I heard apparently that is just their sense of humour. Not sure, though

    Depends. A married couple travelling to Japan is less concerning than a loli obsessed single man

      I feel like Thailand is a more concerning destination for single men, but I’m not familiar with other sex tourism destinations. I know the Dominican Republic was big for some but I was just there with my wife and didn’t see anything concerning.

          Oh I know. I’ve been there, twenty years ago. It’s a wonderful place and I hope to take my kids there some day.

          But the reputation isn’t for no reason. It’s at the top of my list for problematic places for single men to travel alone to, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an awesome place to go or even that all single men traveling solo are there for bad intent.

          I would highly encourage people to go there. The more non-sex tourism they get, the better for everyone, I think.

              I’m not judging any individual, I said a solo male vacation to Thailand is a flag. Which is the whole point of the post, so what are you even saying here? I hope when I check you are admonishing everyone else who responded…

              Oh look at that… not just that but you are a top level commenter judging people. Hmmm.

    all the ones that are super-authtorian ones: russia, NK, USA, Saudia arabia if you are in a certain demographic. all the war torn ones that were ruined by israel. places where you have no experience in, like deep jungle in South and central america, and antartica and also mt everest, K2.

    too many westerners thought they could venture out in the jungle with no directions or guides.
