https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...revalence_rate
1. 1% prevalence means approximately 1 out of 90 people have it.
That's one out of every 90 Thais. Including old people, young people, police, teachers, university professors.
When you look into prostitutes as a segment of the population, the percentage is much higher.
This scientific peer-reviewed study found prevalence of 20.2 percent among female prostitutes in Bangkok. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4935540/.
There were higher rates in "non venue" prostitutes, which means freelancers. Venue based workers had a 2. 5 percent prevalence.
Thailand has a high HIV rate. HIV is concentrated in sex workers.
Heterosexuals can and do get HIV infections. It's not such "simple math" because there are things like menstruation, blood, HPV, HSV and other factors that can raise the chance of infection several times over.
This is all undisputed fact that anyone with an elementary education can understand.
Thailand also has one of the highest road death rates in the world. Second on earth last time I checked.
And one of the highest murder rates in Asia. Higher than Myanmar and Bangladesh even. Over 8 times higher than Japan, South Korea, Singapore.
It's a pretty terrible place overall. A real third world hell hole. That's one reason so much of the population ends up doing prostitution. Well educated and adjusted rich kids from healthy societies don't often end up turning tricks to foreign pensioners.
Enjoy your time in the LOS.

Simple said. If you fuck someone with hiv (anal sex) there is a change of 11/10. 000 (that's 0,0011%) to get HIV (highest possible score for straight guys).
Population with HIV in thailand is estimated at 1%.
So simple math. Yes there is a risk. But being hit by a motorbike is more likely to happen.

Four weeks in Pattaya sends shivers of dread down my spine.
If you like it, no problem, but you will likely very much end up doing the same day in and day out LOL.
If you need to change for a week, then.
I would definitely recommend seeing Hua Hin, probably for 3-4 days to see if you like it.
As I am a strong advocate of it's style of more personable and friendly (as in less games) Thai mongering.
I would also recommend Rawai area of Phuket, which I will admit is my home base by choice.
It has the advantage that there is a lot of action, albeit spread out.
And many things to do to take a break from mongering.
Plus you can head easily into Patong for more mainstream hardcore action as an adjunct, or if you find Rawai not to your liking.
In the past I would have also suggested Koh Samui, but sadly that mongering scene is in very slow recovery.

As for taxis, it's easy to avoid the ripoffs. When entering the cab (before you sit, with the door open), state your destination and say "meter". If they refuse or offer you a fixed fare, try another passing cab, perhaps a bit further down the road. Don't bother with taxis waiting around.

Posts: 120For hotels near Asoke
As was just suggested, you need to check the Bangkok Hotels section. Also, get your Ipad out and enter Asoke BTS, then zoom out to search some of the many hotels available. You might find more than a few for $50. I would not necessarily recommend going for $30, but that's just me.
Look at Soi 18 - a little quieter than being right on Sukhumvit. Looks like there are a few choices on Soi 14, which would be even closer to Asoke. But maybe not as quiet.
How is BTS and MRT? Amazing, and cheap. Recommended!!
