Police round up Ladyboys working on Pattaya Beach.

Responding to numerous complaints from Tourists regarding transsexuals on Pattaya Beach, a group of Police and Police volunteers rounded up 19 of them in the early hours of Wednesday Morning.

These ladyboys will often engage in anti-social and criminal activities on the beach such as assault and robberies. Because this group were not seen committing a crime they could only be fined 200 Baht each at Pattaya Police Station before being released.

Most of them were seen reassuming their positions on the beach as they search for potential foreign customers.

Loitering with intent would be the charge in the UK.

No, the BiB were short of funds for Mekhong.

A fine just for being profiled ,

Yet another revenue stream, lets hope it doesn't catch on, could be quite the cash cow.
