Not that it has anything to do with the rate sex workers charge, especially those targeting tourists, of course.

You mean the median daily rate is even lower than 500 baht ?
On the contrary, it has some relationship with the sex rate. It is called opportunity cost, they cannot earn higher if they demand exorbitant rate much higher than most of what their fellow countrymen gets.
The median daily rate determines food cost, transport cost etc. of a country.
So it is the rich Europeans/American/Japanese who are driving sex prices up in Thailand.
These workers DON'T work in european/american countries, they work in Thailand where the customers can be local Thai or from neighbouring asian countries with comparable living standard.
Let me give you an analogy...
How would you feel if foreigners from a richer country eg. japanese buy up all the properties in a certain European country, driving prices up and left all the locals without a home to live ?
