Pattaya –  Suspected transgender prostitutes soliciting on Pattaya Beach are being registered and fined stated Pattaya police Thursday, December 15th, 2022.

Colonel Somchai Teerapatpaisarn of the Tourist Police told the Pattaya News that transgender individuals who are found on Pattaya Beach at night are being registered. Any transgender people who were standing on the beach propositioning prostitution were also fined and asked not to solicit prostitution on the beach. If a suspect is caught a second time and believed to be soliciting prostitution, the fine will be increased. The exact amount of the fines was not revealed.

 

Pattaya City Deputy Chief Lieutenant Colonel Kruekrit Saiwanna told the Pattaya News that more foreign tourists are coming to Pattaya in the coming New Year festival and that police don’t want them to be annoyed or assaulted.

 

The Pattaya News notes that police did not mention similar fines or registration for suspected female prostitutes.

wait a minute here. with this statement it kinda sounds like you're a little worried about the rising costs in this area.

Female sex workers don't harass tourists because they have at least possibilities of becoming future brides of some person rejected by females of his own kind in exchange for a "wife visa". A transgender prostitute can not give any thing like a "wife visa" in exchange for becoming a lover of a homo sexual. So they are more desperate to harass and get whatever they could from tourists.

Farsighted again - congratulations. Yet, as there is no prostitution due to its illegality, we can all stroll at ease along the beach but I like the farsightedness of the authorities. 

Exact fines are not revealed as they would be a matter of bargaining skills - or natural compensation in lieu? Anyhow irrelevant, as prostitution is illegal!

You believe the Pattaya Beach tarts regard every customer as a potential future husband? What utter tosh! They are looking for a one or two hour honeymoon companion perhaps! The whole post is rather silly.

being included in the 'tax net'..

[digbeth]

what law exactly is being broken by standing on the beach at night? 

what evidence do they have that these 'ladies' were soliciting? 

 

could they've nab any tourist under the same pretense?

They really have been making a nuisance of themselves for a long time now.......I care not  whit if the local plod harass them!

[Tracyb]

So, the female prostitutes get a pass?  Why are they not being “registered”?

[ezzra]

That's a new one on me, to register to be a transgender prostitute, what they'll think of next?... and how they pay their taxes i wonder?...

Yet another earner for the local plod. They have a lot of catching up to do after the losses incurred during covididiocy.

Loitering with intent.

 

They could always say they were waiting for a bus or resting after a strenuous walk, or they could tell the truth.
