Video: Large police and army contingent inspect Walking Street - no prostitution found!

 

Picture: Pattaya Update News

 

Pattaya's finest have once again been unable to find any evidence of prostitution in Thailand's most famous red light district.

 

Tourists have been advised to phone 191 if they spot anything.

 

Pattaya Update News posted a video and reported that a large contingent of police and military men joined with Department of Provincial Administration staff in inspecting Walking Street, South Pattaya last night.

The gathering strode manfully down the main drag and even went inside some establishments. Lots of pictures and videos were taken for the record.

 

The media said on Facebook that the point of the visit was to uncover evidence of prostitution and under age sex in the important tourist area frequented by many visitors.

 

Nothing untoward of any kind was found and no arrests were reported. 

 

Deputy Chonburi police chief Pol Col Pongphan Wongmaneethet - standing in for the Pattaya police chief - said that if tourists or the public do see anything they can call 191. 

 

Or they can contact the tourist police stationed at the end of the street if they spot anything illegal. 

 

Thaivisa notes that previous exercises of this nature last year also failed to turn up any evidence. It might be concluded that such events are PR exercises, we note.

How many callcenter agents they have? 500?

Otherwise it might be a long wait on the line.

They were only checking Walking Street! Very few WS bars or gogos have rooms on site available for sex, and those that do are likely to have been forewarned. All was in order.

So a lot of girls selling condoms with a free "how to use" lesson ???

[nikmar]

maybe they should have a word with Mr Chuck Wow. He'd point them in the right direction.

Pathetic

Hello - there are a large number of imposters clogging up the street where nothing happens in Pattaya...

 

No prostitutes, just tax collectors here!

[Anythingleft?]

Restores my faith in the established uniformed services here

Ignorance (arrogance?) truly is bliss......

I read the headline and promptly spat tea in my keyboard!!

I understand that when the girls were asking tourists if they wanted "boom-boom" the police interpreted it as them offering to teach tourists how to play the drums. Seems totally legit. No prostitution found. Just music lessons. How much for a "flute" lesson?

[Nong Khai Man]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh !! So It's now SAFE to go to that Family Friendly resort with A Beautiful Clean Beach & Sparkling Sea.....Is The Coconut Bar Still OPEN ??

Prostitution is not defined as "having a room on site available for sex".

Should have gone to Specsavers.

Just when you thought this country could not get more bizarre

 

A strange photo op for some reason

Prostitution is ingrained in Thai culture and these buffoons could not find it, I am concerned that they really were not looking hard enough especially when you trip over it in small country town let alone the sex capital of the world

[Gecko123]

I know just how the cops must have felt. Prostitutes run and hide when they see me coming too.

You have to wonder if they really want the international press to see a photo of 200 law enforcers surrounded by go go bars proclaiming "no prostitution here". Can you imagine the Dutch police doing the same in Amsterdams red light district. ????

No hookers, but we found a spoon

The number whould be overloaded with calls if they'd do that.

[ThaiFelix]

What they are saying is that they never caught anybody copulating in front of them with money in their hands........therefore no evidence of course, case closed.

[anterian]

I remember many years ago they did something similar in Khaosan road, to give fair warning they included a military band. 

[FolkGuitar]

I always wondered at the origins of the expression:

"He couldn't get laid in a whorehouse."

Now I know.  ????

Which branch, I saw no prostitution, prior to and after getting my new glasses, in the branch I used.

[watcharacters]

 

That has to be the entire Soi 9 cadre.

I think you need new batteries for your glasses.

[Oziex1]

I think this lot need to regroup and arrest the Yoga girl in the photos at temples, that is truly a moral outrage. If they can find her.

[VocalNeal]

Most girls who work in Go-Go bars are freelance in other words not run by pimps. Ergo the are not prostitutes. 

 

Since the inspectors in Pattaya did not find any pimps they did not find any prostitutes.

 

What is the matter with you guys? No lo entiendes
