Thai police arrested an Uzbek man at Suvarnabhumi Airport just as he was about to flee the country due to his involvement in illegal prostitution in Pattaya.

 

Police officers from the Anti Trafficking In Person Division and the Consul of the Consulate-General of Uzbekistan, Nuriddin Mamatkulov, held a press conference today, July 7, to reveal the arrest details of the 32 year old Uzbek man, Navruzbek.

 

Officers revealed that they received a complaint from two non-profit organisations, NightLight, and Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R), regarding prostitution in Pattaya. The organisations relayed information from an Uzbek victim who told them that she was lured into working in a brothel near Pattaya Walking Street.

According to the victim, a criminal gang from Uzbekistan enticed women by offering a position as a chef’s assistant in Pattaya. The gang claimed they would cover transportation costs and visa fees in advance and attracted victims with promises of high wages and free accommodation.

Each woman had to take care of at least four customers per day and had to work from 6pm to 6am every day. They were provided with only one meal a day and received no payment for their services. All earnings went to the employers. Failure to meet the targeted income resulted in punishment, like being starved.

Obviously a trumped-up charge.  Pattaya police have announced there is no prostitution on numerous occasions.

A lot of Bek's in this story for starters ????

Chapter 2: Now he will get his first experience as a prostitute in a nice Thai prison.

What a Berk, had he treated the ladies with more respect all this wouldn't come to light but being a blighter he got what he deserves.

But....you'll have to something with your legs.

They need to make their minds up according to the police there is no prostitution in Pattaya unless it involves foreigners only ????

It's that old Soviet mentality. Why do business fairly - when you can exploit and oppress people to show how much of a alpha-boi you are?

There used to be an Uzbek hookerq (way past her prime) hanging out outside Coffee World, corner of Sukh Soi 7/1 BKK.

No big surprise.

15-20 years ago it was almost routine that every 3-4 months there'd be a news article about the BiB rounding up a horde of Uzbek prostitues working on Walking Street and deport them.

It happen so often it was a joke. After I mentioned it in one article, someone who thought they knew everything called me a liar so I went back over the previous 2 years of  news articles and linked every single story and sure enough, it was pretty much one ever 3.5 months on average.

I had a theory that the pimps would recruit a batch of women, bring them here, take their passports and put them on the street.

For the first few weeks they'd work their butts off (literally) but then the money flow would slow down. Perhaps as the girls started pocketing more of their earnings.

Suddenly there'd be a story about the police doing a round-up and deporting another lot of them. I'm sure the pimp(s) would give "someone" a nudge when it was time to get rid of the old girls. That way the pimps didn't have to pay the return airfare for the girls and they could sell their passports as well.

The Uzbek girls used to get a lot of customers as well, even the rather "large" ones.

Because most of them were just as "white" as your average Brit - and they spoke better English than the local girls.

A lot of the old gits in the bars couldn't speak 2 words of Thai and would end up sitting alone and sad in the bars.

I used to watch the Uzbeki girls walk down the street peering into each beer bar for those old guys. (Friend of mine used to run the Lucky Stars bars across from the Marine Disco. Used to sit in there and watch the street. It was far more entertaining than any of those "reality" shows on TV.)

They'd go down the street and mark potential customers and on their way back up the street if the geezer was still at the bar, one girl would peel off and slide up next to him. As soon as she started speaking English it was like someone turned on a spotlight as the old guy would sit up and start talking to the woman. 

The Africans (Nigerians) preferred to just stand on the sidewalks near closed shops or places that someone wouldn't try to chase them away from. Never saw them try to go into a bar (not unless they had a "customer").

Probably the same idea with them. Some pimp brings them in and when they've "gone stale" he gives the BiB a call and they round the girls up and get rid of them.

''  illegal prostitution in Pattaya.''......  so where is all the legal prostitution ?

Goodness, that is quite a cuisine.  Seems the Turks didn’t leave much behind when they passed through.

Prostitution is only for Brothels run by Thai cops.

So when a non-Thai is getting involved in the number 1 Thai business, the Thai police gets worried ????????????

Is there legal prostitution in Pattaya??

No one should be forced to do acts against their will, this exploitation is slavery and should not be tolerated.

They don't need to try hard.  Thai's know as "ghosts" frequently try to get into Korea for work. 

 

......And just as frequently are deported.

Ok. 

The article repeatedly refers to "illegal prostitution in Pattaya" as opposed the legal version?

A paved road filled with cracks and potholes will have a lot of weeds growing up through them unless it is very heavily traveled.
