I'm sure that's 36 families and children going without food tonight. Well done. If you don't want them then have jobs that pay real wages in Thailand.

A mere drop in the bucket. I guess these were all walkers and not associated with any bars? Because we all know that bar-girls are not prostitutes...right?

[IAMHERE]

So, it is now safer for those family friendly type tourist to be walking about at 1:30 AM. I sort of thought that would be sleepy bye time for that type.

not in those areas with those participants, Thai men get a much better deal elsewhere. I am told this, it may not be true but I believe it to be.

Probably not in Pattaya, too expensive I guess.

[yougivemebaby]

Why do they hide their faces? Clearly this was a mistake and no Thai girls are selling sex. They were taking a break from their reception job.

Thais like them younger than the Beach Road trade.

Never heard of it! Is this something new?

[Thingamabob]

Utterly pathetic.

[DefaultName]

Well, I can honestly say that, in 20 years of coming to Pattaya, I've never bought sex.

 

 

Rented, OK........... :)

Well I hope the other 19 foreigners and 6 Transvestites were suitably grateful for the luncheon vouchers

looks like the chief of police is trying to justify his job.

 

AFAIK, they can only give them a 100 baht fine for loitering - as far as Thais are concerned.

Right on cue.

[Kadilo]

I was in Pattaya last week first time for about a year and have never seen so many girls/ladies along Beach Road waiting for business including Africans. It actually made me chuckle as the Tourist Police were set up along there as usual and we happily laughing and chatting away to many of them.............then you read this. 

The rules obviously change on a daily basis. 

[mikebell]

It's easier than catching under-age motor-bikers speeding along Suk with no lights.  Arresting these girls will not improve Pattaya's image but Saving lives might.

[jacko45k]

That must have taken all of 3 minutes and a 50m stroll down any of the main roads.

What did they do for the other 23 hrs 57 minutes?

It is the slow season... Probably just a "cull"
