Udon Thani Industrial Council chairman Prayoon Homewong has called on the government to legalise prostitution.

“We can never get rid of it. So, I think we should pass laws to regulate it,” Prayoon said at a meeting with relevant authorities in Udon Thani.

He described “prostitution” as an old profession, which many foreign countries have recognised legally.

Prayoon added that if the flesh trade were stamped out altogether, sex crimes would soar.
