Haiti. It’s tiny but it’s top tier level crim exports country.
Wrong sub
Thailand. Now this may rub people the wrong way because a lot of people like thailand (and yes, there are loads of ‘normal tourists’ there) but almost every (s)expat I’ve come across living there has been a sexual degenerate and/or misfit in western society. Their lives revolve around women and drinking.
(dis)honorable mention: Colombia, Phillipines, Cambodia. Lots of creepy motherfuckers descending on otherwise beautiful countries (which they’ve no real interest in seeing the sights of).
There was a guy at my hostel in Thailand who got drunk and bragged about hiring a 16 year old hooker.
You forgot Kenya, Turkey and Marocco, where white liberal women go to have sex with black and brown young men for money, usually delighting in playing with them and treating them like less than dirt.
- Ukraine (before war)
- Thailand (after 2022)
The main difference between the two is that in Ukraine every single foreign guy I met was there for the girls/sex. In Thailand there are tons of sex tourists in Pattaya and even in Bangkok but many other people are there for the tourism, for working as digital nomads, to build local business, and enjoy the beautiful islands.
Honorable mentions: other countries in SEA although to a lesser extent than Thailand.
I met two Americans that fled Ukraine at the start of the war when I was in Budapest and they seemed pretty normal. Only really got to know one of them but according to him Kiev had an amazing underground techno scene and iirc he was mostly living there due to low cost of living. He was perfectly respectful to me and the other girl in our hostel dorm and we all got along pretty well. I never went to Ukraine so I’m not really disagreeing with you about the majority of them but I wouldn’t say it’s every single one or that that’s the only reason an expat would’ve chosen to go there.
Ukrainian from Ukraine checking in, and wtf? We get loads of tourists here, but no shady shit. We’ve always had passport bros coming over because they think Ukrainian women are traditional, so they’re here to find love but eventually get scammed. The sex industry works as it does in any other country I’ve been to. Not sure how Ukraine made that list my guy.
Dominican Republic
Thailand, Philippines, most of Southeast Asia save for Malaysia and Singapore for the most part… anywhere where 60 year old men holding hands with 18 year old women doesn’t get too many stares.
Cambodia. You can’t walk at night without being offered ‘girls’ every meter.
Pattaya, Thailand; but to be fair it has cleaned up its act compared to 1 or 2 decades ago combined with the stringent visa regulations.
Philippines,
Thailand, met some of the most vile Americans in their 60’s acting like hot shit for getting with 18 year old Thai girls.
It was pretty horrible to see.

“Horrible”
What was so horrible about it?
How do you know the women were 18?
The comments here are disgusting. I understand some creepers fly to those countries and exploit minors, but not all men are like that. There is nothing wrong with sex tourism as long as it’s consensual. Mind your own business.

Giving off heavy pedophile energy right there bud.

Somehow this post was the last drop for me and made me unsubscribe to all my travel related subs. Found them tiring. Especially this one can be bad with the focus on negativity or repetitive questions (“how do I find remote work”).
Most of the comments here reek of dudes who need to get laid, but probably would need to pay to do that
Colombia. Bunch of sexpat losers
Dubai. South Asian expats here are the seediest men I’ve come across my entire life and I am a very well travelled individual
Do you mean Indians?
