Thailand: Lingerie-Clad Sex Workers Take to the Streets to Protest Coronavirus Lockdown

by Gabrielle Reyes

Thai sex workers staged a demonstration in Bangkok on Tuesday to protest the Thailand government’s recent Chinese coronavirus shutdowns, which the sex workers argue have cost them their livelihoods.

“Since their workplaces – massage parlors, go-go bars and karaoke joints – have been ordered shut for months, the group arrived at around 9am Tuesday asking for THB5,000 (US$156) monthly stipends per person,” the local news site Coconuts Bangkok reported on June 29.

“About 20 people lay high heels on the ground while others tied panties to the building’s front gate,” the news site detailed, referring to the exterior gate of Thailand’s Government House building.
