Video: Twenty five beach hookers rounded up by Pattaya police in "action against the sex trade"

 

 

Siam Chon News said that a police action in arresting a couple of dozen prostitutes on Pattaya Beach Road was done to take action against the sex trade and improve the image of Pattaya.

 

The strip is well known for street-walkers and there are often many hundreds of women and lady boys eager to take tourists for some pecuniary rumpty-tumpty.

 

This 1am crackdown Wednesday morning resulted in fines of 1,000 baht per person for the crime of "wandering about". 

 

Those that couldn't pay were obliged to enter the cells. Siam Chon did not saw for how long.

 

Photos were taken and the wanderers had their details recorded for future reference.

20 odd thousand baht in the pockets of the police, and all the people released are free to ply their trade, until the next time.

Has the image of Pattaya been improved with this ? 

Noooooooooooooo !

[BuaBS]

Now they have to do an extra short time to compensate for the 1000 B fine . So police is stimulating prostitution.

[Basil B]

Silly really.

If you fine them then they need to make more money      ...and no points for guessing how.

I know a lot of people should be fined for that, especially in supermarkets..."wandering about" in the aisles when the rest of us are trying to shop...

Aren't beaches meant to be for exactly that, among other things?

[RayD]

Hey, copper, leave them birds alone!

 

[jackdd]

I got curious if it's really possible to get fined for "wandering about"

The Thai word they use is เตร็ดเตร่ this can mean "wandering" but in this context, and usually when related to a fine the correct translation would be "loitering"

I was not able to find the law, but some other sources were talking about this too, and it seems 1000thb is the maximum fine for this.

Let's see when the police gets the idea to fine people who sit at the beach

[mentalcolonization]

They're part of the society . they are very important . 

[neeray]

The hooker's faces were not pixelated. They've been defamed'!

more important to some than others.

It’s all a joke TIT

[Emster23]

Perhaps egged on by local bars providing similar service, but higher cost due to overhead and such? Free lancers are stiff competition to bricks and mortar establishments. I don't have a dog in this fight, just wondering

A Soi Cowboy bar owner told me "I don't know why they don't stop the hookers on the street."  I haven't been to Pattaya in 3 years because of those girl lock ups.

[sammieuk1]

Maybe wandering about looking for butts to save the drains from flooding and the reward a 1000 baht fine a lot of cracks looking down.  

[NE1]

Good job they were not smoking as well......

And I thought the US cops came up with the best one;  failure to give a good account of oneself 

 

I now see that the Thai police are even more inventive 

[RichardColeman]

Couple of hotties - but the majority look like they have partaken in a little too much of the local fast food

[Ulic]

A short time ago the fine was 300 baht. It looks like they are getting serious.

Beach hookers smoking on the beach , never been to the beach in Patts. is there anywhere quiet there for a beach lady to have a smoke with you.

As for the OP , I thought rumpty tumpty sat on a wall in Patts. In my day it was rumpy pumpy.

[futsukayoi]

Surely grounds for a defamation case here.  These girls were arrested for Loitering / Wandering yet the article states they are prostitutes without any evidence at all.  OK being female and in some parts of Pattaya may make it extremely likely but still not conclusive. .  If there was proof of prostitution that is what they would be charged with.

[petermik]

The bladdy police....did they not realise they were only out late as they wanted to get a clear view of the "supermoon"...spoilsports

The authorities would be better off hunting down the overstayers, I am sure there are plenty of them in Pattaya, instead of hounding people who are doing no harm.

[observer90210]

Why suddenly the crackdowns ? Somebody high above got pissed off or ripped of by one of the beach "strollers" ?
