Thailand doesn't have any prostitution ....  well I'm glad to hear that. 

That means it's a clean place for families ... right ... !

As clean as the sea at Pattaya and Jomtien beaches!

[essox essox]

This NO prostitution was reported months ago....if there is none then why a big purge again??

[guzzi850m2]

Well everybody are happy and that's the main thing.

 

Amazing Thailand.

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

 

so do not go out in army or police uniforms.....

[transam]

Can you imagine strolling along Clacton-on-Sea sea front watching armed Paras darting between the dust bins looking for dodgy looking birds and the effect on holiday folk...

Has LOS never heard of "undercover" operations....Well I reckon no, still in that photo shoot mentality that warns all the naughty folk to disappear for a couple of hours..

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

That's probably correct but what is the definition?  Walking along the street, regardless of the manner of dress, isn't prostitution, dancing in a go-go bar isn't prostitution, talking to customers isn't prostitution, serving drinks in a beer bar isn't either.

[LongTang]

Just another pathetic spectacle that reminds everyone who is in power And further damages the image and tourism of this place...

 

Not to mention the call for people to snitch on each other that is taken from histories darkest places.. (divide and rule) ????

Prostitution = sex for payment

Marriage = no sex but paying much much more

Correct, and what amazes me is that those "in control" cannot see the things they do make them look daft.....

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. ????

Ignoring the fact that the pros in Amsterdam's red light windows are not illegal so the Dutch police would have no reason to do that, are there any women directly advertising themselves as prostitutes and there for no other reason in shop windows in Pattaya?

[fishtank]

This just confirms what we already knew.

Pattaya is a wholesome family friendly resort. ????

[Just Weird]

Some blokes on here blindly try to ignore what actually constitutes prostitution and being in the position to be arrested for it or the police having the evidence to arrest someone for it.

Holiday blokes from around the world going to Patts know exactly what they are going there for, even with the risks...The LOS authorities know why blokes from all around the world go to Patts.......Toooo many LOS folk with fingers in the Patts cash pie to fix stuff, fix stuff, lose the cash flow..

Couldn't organize a gang bang in a brothel comes to mind.

If the police paid me 500bht per prostitute caught, I reckon I could wear a wire and get about 100 collars a night.

They'd have to provide me with a work permit of course to keep it all legal.

And it would put 199 of the 200 police out of work.

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

I thought fake news was illegal.

Kind of like their search for democracy... They're supposedly looking for that, but can't find it either....  Maybe they're not quite looking hard enough!

Haha!! What a joke!! Must have been a lot off "brown envelopes" handed out !!

The result is what the top man wants to hear - irrespective of the truth. Those below make sure they report what they are expected to say.

As we know, truth is not important here, face is.

 

When Pawena Hongsakul did exactly the same report for Thaksin almost twenty years ago, she reported "I saw no evidence of prostitution in Pattaya" - word-for-word.

 

She came in the GoGo bar I ran and asked leading questions of the dancers:

You are over eighteen, aren't you?

You don't go with customers for money, do you?

 

Do you think any Thai is going to answer someone from the office of the prime minister with anything but what they were effectively told to reply with?

Pawena left Pattaya being able to say what she already knew in advance she was going to say.

 

This latest charade is no different.

What a better way to bring back tourists than to bring a few battalions of army and police to tourist zone .

 

great thinking ????

Quite.

In my post above regarding Pawena coming in the bar years ago, she was accompanied by half-a-dozen self-important-looking policeman, which immediately frightened all the customers away.

[UglyBug]

Believe it or Not ? ? ? Does not put a good light on Thai Policing ????????????????

[crazykopite]

I am confused we now have a new democratically elected Civilian PM so why are the army still on the streets surely they should have all returned back to their barracks by now . I cannot see the public being to happy if the army are going to continue the role they have been doing since the coupe took place this is not good for Thailand
