Most likely from the Foreign Police Volunteers. There are loads of them around Pattaya. I don't know any, but heard several times that they are guys who have some kind of "problem" with the Police or the Immigration. Police offer them to "forget" about this problem if they help them in a few such police operations. Makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one who was asked and refused. Others are adamant they do not do this type of undercover work. I see it more as a one off for someone the police have in their pocket.

spidermike007 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I don’t get it. With the purity campaigns being waged, I would think by now that the people would have wised up and gotten above this rather base mentality. Selling ones body for a living? When you can be working in a store or factory for $10 a day and maintain your purity? Why would anyone do that? This is inexplicable. The army needs to hire some experts to spend a lot of money on research, to get to the bottom of this moral quandary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hmmm.... this is absolutely disgusting news. I will never ever go to Pattaya again now that I know there is prostitution there.That seems like an over-reaction. There's prostitution in virtually every town in Thailand.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they hire underage workers , when there's really no need for it. I had this discussion elsewhere, I believe I could, and if in the slightest doubt, one should stay clear. Last time I spotted one she wasn't there long, she was popular! In this instance, surely the guy knew already, or was pretty sure, as it was a set up to catch the bar out, she had used fake ID. I thought originally they went off premises and the sting was set up there, but that seems unclear from the reports. If it was upstairs in the Windmill, they have been foolish, they had already been raided for on-site 'facilities'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thasoss Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 looking for prostitution in pattaya is like looking and finding termites in your house that's falling apart. I walked down walking street, soi 6, LK metro i couldn n't find prostitution anywhere until i came to that damn bar where the owner had n't paid me his monthly tea money,and suddenly lo and behold i found prostitution. Only in thailand where prostitution is illegal,yet staring you in face in the villages,small towns...a non taxable income! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other Acts which regulate prostitution. You're being very naive in your interpretation of how Thai law works. Paying for sex privately in the privacy of your own home or hotel room is not characterised as "promiscuous".

Asian guys are fairly keen to get younger (than 20 years old) woman and will pay a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
