The spokesman of the Royal Thai Police has clearly accepted that there is indeed prostitution in Thailand.

Oh, my Buddha! There goes Prayut's dream of Thailand becoming a favourite destination for high-spending families and quality tourists. Might as well revert to Plan B and start advertising to the cheap charlie wifebeater set in the likes of the Sun and the Star, lol.

The crack down cracks me up. They’re all now on dating sites seeing the shops are shut , flogging their trade .

You're missing the point albeit not deliberately

 

As @ThailandRyan said above the country is known worldwide for its prostitution "status"

 

Now remove the blight of Pattaya Patong Patpong etc etc from the map and over the course of a generation Thailand gains another 15 million annual visitors currently deterred by that sleazy image

Somebody asked yesterday what had made you LOL recently.

Well. ????? LOL

He said that his chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk had ordered a New Year crackdown by crime suppression to stop the spread of Covid-19 at such places. 

Okay, so it's not actually a crackdown on prostitution as the headline suggests. It's a crackdown on the spread of Covid-19 which is a different thing altogether. Maybe the RTP will just insist on the soapy massage parlours and karaoke bars having thermometers and hand gel. 

The funniest article I read this year.  Lol. What a bunch of Hypacrite!!  Thailand is a Joke!!!!

Pol Maj-Gen Yingyot Themjamnong didn't use that name - he used the euphemism of "sathan borikan".

But how can the police explain this to their mia noi's what an absolute crock of you know what ........................LOL

I really have been had by them for the past 30+ years, having been told all these decades that prostitution did not exist in Thailand. And now this!!!! I am speechless, shaken to the bone. My entire world is crumbling around me. After all, I initially moved here solely because I was taken in by the country's squeaky clean image. How could they lie to me so horribly??!! 

Concerned citizens are to call 1599. Amazing.

if they close nana or cowboy

it does make one wonder what the game plan is?

Well if he wants to do that he best start at the Thai "karaoke" places in almost all of Thailand's 98,000 villages then that caters for Thais. When he has cleaned up that lot he can concentrate on Bangkok, HueHin, Pattaya , Chiang Mai and the other areas where foreigners are serviced. But there again that won't happen as the RTP has too much invested themselves in the trade.

Thank goodness the crackdown will only take place at the new year when most lasses are back with their parents.

I understand it all wrong!

Some additional guidance would be helpful. Are we supposed to call before or after?

During, and tell them where you found her so they can crack down. ????

 

And again .. They can’t fix the stupidity.
 

The problem is not shooting at the tip of the iceberg.  To prevent hundreds of thousands of women from engaging in prostitution, First the government must begin by changing the absurd educational system so that in future generations the population can be better prepared professionally to have decent and paid jobs.  Education, education, education.

Pattaya - 'The Hub of No Prostitution' !

 

 

                               Reminds me about the site "In the Crack"!

 

                               They for sure have nothing to do, and one come up with this idea.

 

                               What will be next? I`m sure we will soon have another surprise!

Prostitution in Thailand 

 

Say it is not so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I thought all those girls sitting standing on Thaniya Rd were part of the TAT and welcoming Japanese to Thailand.

The article is wrong; there are not hundreds of thousands involved in this trade - please add a Zero when a zero is due ???? 

I used to live near a restaurant/short term hotel off Ratchada frequented by older Thai men, visiting businessmen and their much younger Mia nois. Their business would plummet over 90% if this crackdown really took place, as would happen with every similar place throughout Thailand. Without tourists, the industry overall  is really suffering, and I am sure there would be many seriously <deleted>-off owners who have invested millions of baht now seeing no chance of any return. This tells me it’s not going to happen.

They should finally really start a crackdown on themselves……,,

The classic....

 

With no prostitution as they always claim, it will be finished soon. Besides that there will not be a spread of Covid because a while ago, the Governement wanted that you wear a mask all the time also for sex... so.... 

As an International Ambassador of Good Cheer and Goodwill I can confirm that there are in fact no prostitutes in Thailand. In my travels around the Kingdom I have observed only Social Hostesses and Professional Companions graciously offering to render assistance to lonely travelers. It's a crack-up to read about a crack-down. Will it be a frontal assault or clandestine attack from the rear ?
