In Asia, although there are many such places in Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, they are much more obscure and restrained than in Western countries.
After all, they are not legal. The only country in Asia with a legal red-light district is surprisingly Singapore.

Most of the "freelance sex workers" walking on the street do not have such a license, and even do not have a legal work visa.

Therefore, the threshold for practitioners in the Geylang area is relatively high, and the management methods are also very strict.
