A spate of illegal operations was brought into sharp focus, after a massage parlour known as Universe Massage in Phuket was raided and its owner nabbed due to operating without requisite permissions. The drive to crack down on such infringing operations headlined by the Patong Police continues in earnest, with this instance being the third in just over a week.

 

The raid on Universe Massage, situated on Rat-U-Thit 200 Pi Road, was orchestrated around 9.30pm yesterday by Patong Police officers. Led by Police Captain Udon Phahulrat, they encountered and arrested a man cloaked by the name Anant. He has since been charged with managing a health establishment without legal permission.

 

News of the police operation was relayed late on the day of the raid, confirming that this systematic crackdown on massage parlours that are operating illicitly is part of an ongoing campaign to clean up the tourist-frequented town of Phuket.

 

The directive, aimed at preventing illicit activities and establishments without proper licensing, was issued by Patong Police Chief Police Colonel Sujin Nilbadee, in association with Patong Police Deputy Superintendents Pol. Lt. Col. Somporn Surin and Pol. Lt. Col. Wutthiwat Liang Boonjinda.

Do some fact research please: foreigners = only about 10% of trade with many places only catering for Thai clients.
