A quick search of the web shows dozens of Thai escort sites. Why don't they have a purge?

Got to be careful with that girl in the middle. "Jelly". One misplaced comment and she throws a wobbly.

Only foreign competition will be wiped off the streets of Thailand..

Nana Plaza and all the other venues will operate as normal.

The other way around- take away this and other websites, and the freelance talent will return to the streets/Nana Plaza/clubs. It's actually alarming how bad the (foreign) Bangkok nightlife scene has become post-Covid. There's near-zero new talent in nightclubs - no doubt due to the early closing times. It used to be that bar girls went clubbing after work - now they just go home because clubs are closed. ????

It's gotten so bad that clubs are actually hiring younger girls to show up. Not enough good looking freelancers around anymore. I guess they've all moved on to Pattaya/Phuket?

There is no prostitution in Pattaya just ask the RTP

[GammaGlobulin]

So then...

It's too late to login to this site, is it?

[GammaGlobulin]

I have never contacted an Escort Service.

 

What's it like?  Are the girls educated?  And, what do they talk about?

 

Also, do poor people use these Escort Services?

Escort and prostitution in Thailand?? Not possible.. The police checked many times and never found anything, although it is full of coyotedancers, massageshops, ladyboys, and hookers on almost every corner.... Thai people are clean it are the foreigners who ruin the country.. The foreigners have to come to Thailand and give us their money, the will be scammed as they are all rich and Thais are very poor.....expect a few... We don't understand why tourist and expats don't come to Thailand anymore..

they buy their visa from an agent, in order to bypass the immigration requirements. They are next on the list, along with motorcycle outlaws.

Agents do not sell Visas, only immigration can issue them!

transfer to a country where escort agencies are legal and all investigations end there.

Gawd...you didn't think that "business plan" through, did you?

The whoring, drugging, robbing and promoting of the whoring business as reported in the OP is being done here, not overseas!

and ?
the money trail would end in a country where it's legal.

then no legal aid would be provided to identify the principals.

for example through a company setup in Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia or Turkey.

it's rather these agencies here that haven't thought through their business plan.

Fiwfans is a good site mainly for bkk, use translate

Well, as the minimum rate on this particular agency is 6,000 baht for 2 hours, and up to 20 thousand for a 24 hour booking, then no I don't think poor people would be using these escort services !

I just love the blinkers these guys at the top wear. 

They get their y-fronts all in a twist over a single web site while the country is afloat in "naughty" venues.

 

Why do we still have all this stupid fuss over the oldest profession? 

Just leave consenting adults alone!! 

Oh dear. That's not what the fuss us about. If you don't contribute a slice of the action to the authorities you get closed down.

Are free samples ever offered, in order to drum up business? 

 

What about five-minute-quickies?

 

(But never for me...)

Just a lot of hairdressers and shop staff who might need "taxi money" at the end of the night...

UPDATE:

 

Thai Police Bust Biggest Sex-for-Hire Website Allegedly Run by American-Thai Couple

By Tanakorn Panyadee

 

 

Thai Police on Friday, August 18th, announced a successful apprehension of an American-Thai couple, believed to have been operating what the authorities said was the largest online escort service and sex agency website in Thailand, tailor-made for a foreign clientele.

 

In a press briefing organized by Bangkok Police and the Immigration Bureau and Information Technology Crime Suppression Centre, Deputy Immigration Bureau Chief Pol Maj Gen. Panthana Nuchanart stated that the website was ranked first on Google and had nearly 430,000 visits per month.

 

 

The website was found to have specifically catered to foreign customers, with 80 prostitutes working for the site, covering various locations in Thailand including Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Hua Hin.

 

The service providers varied from women, transgender people, and groups of sex workers working in pairs, providing a wide range of prostitution-related offerings featured on the site.

 

The website also displayed detailed descriptions of each sex worker, such as their photographs, as well as “customer reviews,” which appeared to be from English-speaking foreigners, giving the sex workers their compliments and recommendations.

Police say their website was used to allegedly facilitate in luring foreign victims into compromising situations with alcohol and drugs and the subsequent theft of their possessions.

Can anyone confirm or dispel this statement in the 2nd linked article?  If it's true, good on the PoPo for shutting them down.   

 

Could also explain why they didn't go after more escort services whose ONLY crime is offering sex...
