Thai Organisation For Male Sex Workers

Swing, a new non-profit organisation in Bangkok aims to focus its efforts specifically on male sex workers. The organisation is the first to do so after its director Surang Janyam and eight colleagues founded the group last September. Surang is a 17-year veteran who spent her entire professional career at Empower, a local organisation that deals primarily with the welfare of Thailand’s female sex workers.
Funded by Family Health International, the Swing office located on the top floor of a building in the heart of Bangkok’s infamous Patpong district offers English classes, Internet access and a place to nap, to shower, and soon, exercise equipment and medical assistance.
