I've never had a guy tell me that exactly, but I've definitely encountered people (drunk people? I feel like I'm remembering a drunk guy going on about it) who have mentioned regularly going to Thailand and who make me wonder.
I'm not talking intimate, close confidants here.
But like if you had a work friend tell you that they are going to Thailand for vacation would your first thought be sex tourism or just normal vacation?
I wouldn't jump straight to sex tourism if there's no other red flags, no.
I have family connections out that way, I am aware there's lots of other great stuff around.
That’s why I am arguing against the OPs statement that they would be suspicious of anyone who goes there because “nothing good happens there”
Yeah, OP has since clarified they meant that more literally than I expected.
