Popular Post snoop1130 Posted Monday at 11:21 AM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 11:21 AM Police raided a well-known karaoke and traditional massage parlour in Bangkok today, uncovering an illicit prostitution ring involving Thai and Laotian women. The establishment had over ten rooms converted for illegal activities, and the owner confessed to the charges. Officers from the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD), today, July 1, led by Saruti Kwangsopa, instructed officers from the Nong Chok Police Station to mobilise a team of officers to conduct a raid on a karaoke bar in the Nong Chok district of Bangkok. The raid followed intelligence that the establishment, purportedly a traditional massage parlour, was secretly operating a prostitution ring. Inside the premises, police found six women, three Thai and three Laotian, who were drinking with customers. The second and third floors had been modified into over ten small rooms, each furnished with mattresses on the floor, ostensibly for massage services but used for prostitution. Additionally, officers discovered condoms and lubricants, further evidencing the illegal activities. Before the raid, undercover agents had already arranged to purchase services, leading to the immediate arrest of the owner of the establishment, 52 year old Rasamee, who confessed to running the illegal prostitution business. Rasamee was charged with operating a business that facilitated prostitution, managing or overseeing such an establishment, and employing foreign nationals without proper work permits. The six women involved were not coerced into prostitution, so they were charged with congregating in a place of prostitution and were handed over to the ATPD for further legal action, reported KhaoSod. Rasamee now faces severe legal consequences for her actions as police are committed to cracking down on such illegal establishments that exploit women and violate the law.

itsari Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:04 AM The men found in the premises having drinks with the ladies were not arrested .

The reply I quoted was that it was not illegal to drink with a prostitute. Never said in what place. Visiting certain places for certain services might be illegal. Drinking with a prostitute is not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that you are free to go. In other words, not illegal to drink with prostitutes as long as nothing else can be proven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking at a bar is legal. It's not the drinking that's illegal, it's the bar girl prostitutes and bar fines that makes them a 'take away brothel', the food is consumed elsewhere, that's the small difference. Whatever, I see no harm in either 'institution' as long as it's a case of legal age consensual pussy prying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the way I read the report is that the men were drinking with the prostitutes in the floor above the bar. I was saying if that is the case in many European countries the men would be prosecuted for soliciting to buy sex but not here in Thailand it seems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
