Non-profit organisation the Saimai Survive with the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security successfully swooped and rescued two girls aged 11 and 16 after their mother forced them into prostitution to feed her expensive drugs habit. The woman’s 19 year old daughter, A, reached out to Saimai Survive for assistance. The teenager reported that her two younger sisters had been forced into prostitution by her 52 year old mother, Dee. A was also forced to provide sexual services to men in the Pa Kluy Community in the Chatuchak district of Bangkok to generate income for household expenses and drugs. Dee has eight children with three different men, but only A and her two sisters lived with their mother. She and two siblings shared the same father who has died. A revealed that her mother forced her into prostitution when she was 11 years old before she ran away from home. She kept in touch with her two sisters who told her that they too were being subjected to the same horrifying ordeal.

A naked Bangkok man masturbating on his condominium balcony in the Pracha Uthit area has drawn heavy outrage calling out his inappropriate behaviour. The scandalous incident reportedly occurred this morning between 7am and 7.30am. A Facebook post by a user who managed to capture the man masturbating on video (too explicit to post in this article) sparked further attention. The individual who filmed the incident added the caption… “The view is great. Oh, dear! The person in the video is real, not an actor.” Upon investigation, reporters could trace the location of the incident to Pracha Uthit 45, located on Pracha Uthit Road, Bang Mod, Thung Khru, Bangkok. The area is recognised as a residential region for students of King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, situated opposite the entrance of Pracha Uthit 45. The incident is understood to have taken place on a building lining the soi, a four-storey condominium. The offending individual resides on the fourth floor, suspected to have been in his living quarters. Yet, at present, the identity of the individual or his motivation for masturbating is unknown, Khaosod reported. The man’s behaviour has been deemed inappropriate and offensive, especially considering the vicinity of locals and youngsters who might have been exposed to the sight on their way to school in the morning.
