Great

 

Maybe as a next step they should taking offences committed by Thais, like taxi drivers, seriously. Maybe then the tourists would also trust the Phuket authorities.

One step at a time...

[stoner]

big love.

I thought they had a picture of the 2 Russsian prostitutes lured by the police who scammed them 1 was 18 and the other 23 years of age.  On this media just a couple of days ago.

Phuket Provincial Police posted an announcement on their Facebook page, but didn’t give a reason for the sudden flurry of activity.

Oooh now let me think, while I eat my Toblerone, that's full of nuts.

Bad guys?  I would say ANY Person who frequents a Bar where young girls are offering themselves for payment should be removed from the country ASAP. It is these people who are financing an illegal organization. without these PERVES sex trafficking and underage porn would die out. Plus, RAISE the age for a retirement visa to 65 as that is the age most people retire in their own countries.

Bad guys you say......  Young girls you mention......  Perves you say and you have "Kid" in your name........ 

I hear the tinkle of glass from a glass house.

 

How old are you, just asking for a friend...

Do you go around these bars in disguise as it appears you have a lot of information about what’s going on in 20 years here I have never had a woman come up to me and offer her services to me whist in a bar I have however have in a massage parlour which when I went in seemed a very professional place !

Good. Taken out the trash 🗑️ but the thing about trash is that it always has a way of piling up, no matter how often it's taken out.

Did they ever leave? 10 years ago and counting.

"Also arrested were Russian nationals Tatiana Zaichkina and Timur Tuktalov who have been on overstay since February 1.

In Karon, Australian Carl Ken Haddad was arrested for illegal possession of diazepam, a Category 4 narcotic, while Russian Andrei Alexandrov was arrested at Nai Yang Beach after it was discovered he had overstayed by just one day."

 

Organised crime most evidently.

I think anyone who knowingly or strongly suspects a girl is underage needs prosecuting to the full extent of the law. I think is the girl has intended to deceive by showing a false ID the man should be exonerated and the girl should be prosecuted for having a false ID. 

Fortunately I do not have to worry, I have zero interest in young girls. I like my women in their 30's and juicy.

It's been here for years, you need to get out more

[ChipButty]

This is getting ridiculous now, even Thai people are questioning what's going on, one day overstay you don't even get fined at the airport for one day, most of my neighbours are Thais and one asking me this morning, stupid, 

As one said to me they have bigger fish to fry in Thailand catch the real criminals, I would say drugs is a bigger problem in Phuket, they only catch the street dealers, 

[ChipButty]

It failed to mention they rounded up a few Burmese also, 

[Hellfire]

Witch hunting has started. Those who helped to blow out that Swiss guy story out of any proportion should be happy now.

Police in Phuket have arrested at least 16 people in what appears to be a crackdown on foreigners working illegally and/or overstaying their visas.

The only person consistently uncovering illegal Chinese activity was Chuwit. And now he's gone out of the country to die. So China gets a free ride.

[Negita43]

Good news and I do not wish to be contentious but what about the Thai criminals is there a purge on them too or aren't there any in Phuket?

I would guess the gov here is quite terrified of the Russian gang here, for many reasons, They are rarely mentioned.

As long as the young girls that you refer to are not underage then I do not see the problem. I have never paid a barfine in my life, but I say it is up to any person themselves to do with their bodies as they like as long as no one is forced to do anything against their will.
