It is now headline news when they are seen out and about on patrol,  failing to find any evidence of prostitution!

Hehe.. the last time i was in Pattaya. I walked past the police station on beach road. There were 4 policemen taking selfies and group photos. And right to their left and right were hoards or beach sex workers waiting for a foreigner to make them an offer for short time fun. The police, oblivious to so many women standing around on the sidewalk even though they did it directly across the street from the station and right to the side of those taking photos. Of course, those women are not really waiting for foreigners to offer them money for a short time in their hotel room bed. They spend their free time from real jobs standing there playing their phone all evening until the bars close and some even later than that. Perhaps they do it because it is cooler than their small flats.

Well in a way I suppose it is newsworthy , Thai police actually doing what they are paid to do , a rare occurrence....😀

[JoePai]

I spy 3 from the sub-continent

[ignore it]

Walking Street declared safe for another month or so.

[mikebell]

More photo-cop opportunities.  Meanwhile on the roads ...

[Dionigi]

and here's me thinking that was what their job was

[brianthainess]

He Personally inspected security guards at EACH venue on Walking Street to assess there skills on handling security issues and providing first aid.

Did the guards bodily throw out and beat someone up first, for the demonstrations? Just asking.

[brianthainess]

I Feel S0 much safer now. Eyes FRONT.

silly Billy...they are condom sales people earning an honest living.

its the demonstration of how they work that costs you money...I thought everyone knew this?

Surprised some of the comments on this thread, do you actually want the police to stop prostitution? Call me old-fashioned, but Pattaya would be pretty boring without it.

 

Police do a great job of ignoring it in my opinion😀

 

 

[Gottfrid]

And, to once again confirm that there is no prostitution on Walking Street

Correct me if I am wrong, but most of the crime is away from walking st on the soi's and beach road is it not

[observer90210]

At the end of the day, if petty street crime continues,  be it in Patts, Hua Hin or Bangkok, at some point people will plainly stop comming to Thailand.
