Sam is a sex worker. Day in, day out, she sits on the beach in Pattaya and waits. On a good day, she earns about $60. Some days she earns less, and on other days, nothing. Sam is waiting for her dream man who will rescue her from her life in Pattaya. But is this a hopeless dream?

In "K 11 - Confessions of a Sex Tourist," Puja Khoschsorur provides the perspective of sex tourism through the eyes of a sex tourist. This time, in "Buddha gives, Buddha takes - Forgotten in Pattaya", a young sex worker from Thailand talks about her life in Pattaya, including her experiences with Thai men and foreign customers, as well as her constant fear of contracting HIV.
