Something interesting is the Thai women I've done in Germany have all been better then the Thai women in Thailand. Which could mean the exposure to the service required in Germany is higher than in Thailand. I like Thai women, don't get
me wrong, plus I like the prices of Thailand so I'm on your side.
I explained the negatives, fact that a friend came down with and STD. That's another story, when it happens to you what do you do, post it on the internet?
Most of the time you won't hear the horror stories. Much of my info comes from friend like a guy who used to work for many years in Thailand and wrote this book
http://www.amazon.com/My-Name-Lon-Yo.../dp/9749272153 He was also a monger of sorts but saw another side of Thailand. Here's an actual video of Lon

Do you think this takes place more in Asia or other countries? I would bet it happens more in 3rd world countries.
Are you asking if "horror stories" happen more in Asia? Besides WW II, here's a few things
that relate to Germany:
"In Germany's 2010 crime statistics, 5.93 million criminal acts were committed, down 2 percent from 2009.[1] According to the Interior Ministry, it's the first time the figure has fallen below 6 million offenses since the country was reunified in 1991, and is the lowest crime level since records began.[1] The rate of crimes solved in 2010 was 56 percent, a record high, up from 2009's 55.6%.[1]
"Internet related crime climbed 8.1 percent in 2010, with around 224,000 reported cases.[1] The number of homes broken into in 2010 was also up by 6.6 percent.[1]

"Germany is a source, transit, and destination country for women, children, and men subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced prostitution and forced labor. Ninety percent of identified victims of trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation came from Europe, including 28 percent from Germany, 20 percent from Romania, and 18 percent from Bulgaria.
"...The Government of Germany made clear progress in the conviction of sex and labor trafficking offenders, but most convicted traffickers were not required to serve time in prison.

"There are small and medium-sized towns in Brandenburg, as well as elsewhere, which I would advise a visitor of another skin colour to avoid going to," said Uwe-Karsten Heye, who now leads an anti-racism organization called "Show Your Color." "It is possible he wouldn't get out alive."

OK so all added up where is the best place
1. Selection (different races, ages, sizes, countries)
2. Price
3. Cost effective (total price of experience, getting there, time to get there, prices once there).
4. Safety (Crime, disease, rip off )
5. Quality of service (do they CIM, DFK, BBBJ and overall the service.
Someone interested needs to add up all the factors, when a gal nearby asks for say $300 how does that compare to $12 in the Philippines? You do have to figure in that airfare, time off from work etc and other travel costs.
Like the poster who booked escorts and did not get what he wanted thus wasting his entire trip for the most part. Asia will always be better for guys who prefer Asians, but never for variety. Europe will always be safer since its a western world. Just cause something has never happened to you does not mean it can't happen.
That's a nice summary of items re the overall big picture of choosing a sex destination.
Personally i find the Thai ladies' body and femininity preferable to those of Westerners,
though certainly there are many exceptions to that rule.

Oh by the way
http://www.bumrungrad.com/thailandhospital right now you CAN'T take your SP there. They have other problems Asia has to deal with floods and tidal waves, bombings etc.
Yes, huge water problems in Thailand lately. Re bombings:
"On July 31, 2006, two people placed two suitcases filled with bombs on regional trains in Germany. The bombs were supposed to go off near Hamm and Koblenz and according to German investigators, would have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people. However, due to faulty construction, the bombs did not go off.[1]
"German investigators suspected a terrorist organization was behind the plot.[2]

Yes you have to love Asia, while no one might arrest you from your experience Police do arrest and extort visitors all the time. But this is not something people will tell you on the internet.
Sometimes some Thai police do bad things, illegal things. They have something of a rep for corruption, as does the government and country in general. OTOH there are corrupt evil police throughout the world. But if you don't think these things are spoken of on the internet, i suggest you do a search of the words "police extortion thailand". The following case led many people to say they would take their holidays elsewhere rather than LOS, and almost influenced me to do the same:
"The highly publicised alleged extortion by police of a pair of British tourists arrested at Suvarnabhumi airport for shoplifting has served to focus international attention on a problem long recognised in Thailand. Hopefully it will also focus attention here at home on solving the problem. In far too many instances and for far too long police have been accused and in some instances found guilty of setting up innocent people, taking them into custody and charging them with a crime, with the sole motive of trading the freedom of the bewildered victims for a profit."

BTW it seemed earlier you were implying you know people in Thai prisons for picking up a hooker
when you posted this:
"Plus paid sex is NOT legal in Thailand and while guys will tell you its does not matter I know a few guys who are in Thai prisons. They don't want you to know about this as its bad for tourism."
I suggest if that were the case, it would be all over the internet and media, just as occurred in the
above mentioned airport scam, as well as the other scams detailed in the links above. Of course
if these guys you know were, for example, having sex with underage TGs, then it is understood
why they are in the 'Bangkok Hilton'. As to having sex for money with adult Thai prostitutes:
"Prostitution in Thailand is illegal, although in practice it is tolerated and partly regulated. Prostitution is practiced openly throughout the country [1][2] Local officials with commercial interests in prostitution often protect the practice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Thailand
"The "Entertainment Places Act of 1966" is one of the modern laws regulating massage parlors, go-go bars, karaoke bars, bathhouses and similar establishments. Under this law such establishments are required to be licensed. The law does not expressedly permit prostitution, but allows for "service providers" and "bath service providers," differentiated from regular, non-sexual service staff.[11] For example, there are massage parlors where men come and look at women, who are sitting separated by a glass wall (known as a "fishbowl"), and may choose whom they want. The women go to a room where they bathe and massage the customers, but in reality may do much more than that.
"The Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act, B.E. 2539 (1996) (the “Prostitution Law”), is the central legal framework prohibiting prostitution. The law defines prostitution as any act done to gratify the sexual desire of another in exchange for money or any other benefit, but only if it is done “in a promiscuous manner”. The Prostitution Law does not define what exactly a “promiscuous manner” constitutes, and the act of prostitution by itself is not outlawed anymore, while solicitation is. The crime of solicitation is vaguely defined.
"A person soliciting the services of a prostitute is liable under the Prostitution Law if the solicitation is done “openly and shamelessly or causes a nuisance to the public”, the penalty being a fine of up to 1,000 baht.[11]

They don't want people to know they were anywhere near paid sex. Remember you'e dealing with a culture where bribery is accepted. So if something happened and the police came who would they believe YOU or the gal or guy who speaks fluent Thai?
If this happened in my hotel in BKK, I believe the police would side with me, not the Thai hooker.
If it happened elsewhere, i might be given the choice between being fucked or bribe LE with a few
thousand baht.

Funny how people want to convince themselves a place is safe only since they themselves have never experienced
a problem. Sort of like going to Mexico now, I know people personally who are dead that there are still those who claim its totally safe.
We should also include the PI (Phillipines) which I hear is even cheaper then Thailand plus almost everyone speaks English.
From what i've read i got the impression PI and Mexico are less safe than Thailand for travellers.
Both made this list of top 10 most dangerous countries for tourists:
