Prostitution is an important social and medical problem in Thailand. Here, the author summarizes the recent medical researches on prostitution in Thailand. Female prostitution is a major factor relating to human immuno deficiency virus (HIV) infection and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among Thais. A number of sexually active Thai males have experience on getting contact with a female prostitute; therefore, health education for Thais since they are young is recommended. Apart from Hiv and STDs, prostitution is also related to hepatitis and cervical cancer in Thailand.
