snoop1130 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Police round up 24 women drinking companions in Bangkok clubs By The Nation Police early this week rounded up 24 women from Laos and Vietnam who worked as drinking companions at clubs in Bangkok’s Khlong Ton, Ratchadapisek and Huai Kwang areas for inspection over a suspicion that they might be involved in prostitution, a senior officer said on Tuesday. Immigration Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Sompong Chingduang told a press conference that the 21 Laotian and one Vietnamese women might be at risk of being victims of prostitution and human trafficking crimes and thus proactively checked on them. Officers found that the women carried passports and most had a 30-day tourist visa, while others had a work visa related to another profession, but none had a work permit for club jobs. The women had frequently returned to their home countries when their visa expired and re-entered Thailand in order to maintain their legal stay, he said. The women were later passed on to case investigators to proceed with legal actions.

Popular Post Alan Michael Posted July 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2019 How thoughtful of the police to be so concerned about these poor girls being trafficked. How interesting that their captors let them come and go on multiple visas? I wonder what the benefits are for them being part of ASEAN? Doesn't sound like much if they can only get a 30 day tourist visa. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car720 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I don't know what any cop in any country hopes to achieve. This is the oldest profession known to man. (no pun) When a woman thinks she can't keep on going then she just legitimizes it with marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKr Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 trying to understand what is going on. In case I go to a bar, and have a chat with another person, subsequently me or the other gets two drinks, one thereof a gift to the companion, the companion can get arrested for being a drinking companion ? Good that there are no bars here, that I now of, where one can ring a bell to announce a round !! Could have gotten rid of quite a few nasty buggers in those (were the) days ....

Sydebolle Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 "24 women drinking companions", 22 of them without work permit in an institution which, for once, is not an alien den of ill repute. Those living here a little longer will remember the "Turkish Bath" houses all over town, the "No Hands Restaurant" and all those other companionship establishments; I am always amazed with what kind of new vocabulary they "break news".

Working without a valid visa or permission to remain is illegal and I doubt prostitution warrants a valid working visa or permission to remain. In addition to short stay visitors gone awol working in masseuse brothels, or marriages of convenience only for those to divorce and remain in the UK in the past have made things difficult for legit families to travel.. ..It’s the few illegals who ruin it and make it difficult for the legit families to travel freely with ease.
