Thai police uncovered a massive illegal sex toy smuggling operation worth millions of baht. On October 10, the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD), led by Major General Saruti Khwaengsopha, arrested nine people in connection with the illegal trade. These arrests took place in locations across Bangkok, Nakhon Pathom, and Chonburi.

 

The individuals arrested included both Thai nationals and Laotian citizens. Their names are Suchada Saelu, Anon Saekhong, Dokkeo Douang Oudom, Mongkol Witoon Inthapat, Niksanh Douangoudom, Chaiwat Chalermsin, Sukho Amornvutthipong, Ekkarat Saewan, and Wutthiphong Plukjai. During the raids, authorities seized more than 2,500 sex toys and 66 electronic devices used in the operation.

The investigation began with suspicions that the group was distributing illegal adult content involving minors through platforms like Telegram and private websites. However, it soon revealed a larger network selling unauthorized sex toys and stimulants to an online community of over 90,000 people.

This illegal trade reportedly made a significant monthly income, estimated between 100,000 and 200,000 THB (about $2,800 to $5,600), with millions in total transactions, reported Daily News.

 

The arrested suspects confessed to running private Telegram groups and websites for two years, promoting and selling these illegal items. They are facing charges for producing and distributing pornography, operating without proper work permits, and managing illegal websites. Police are continuing their investigation and moving forward with prosecutions.

Big Dongs don't play.

If there is a market then fill it - as the saying goes

[ChaiyaTH]

Massive? Barely 3000 sex toys in a country this size is like barely enough to supply for 15 days. Not joking. Likely even less. That's like 200 orders per day as a wholesaler in toys on many millions. They sell 5x in western countries with less people.

In Thailand, they concentrate on the real danger and enforce the laws where it really matters. They are crushing gambling activities and cracking down hard on the evil spread of sex toys. All that, when they could patrol the busy streets and actually really improve trust and safety. Also they could be hard against unnecessary violence and do something about domestic violence. of course this is just two examples out of many. However, they chose sex toys and gambling. In my eyes, that´s dereliction of duty.

I agree with this crackdown wholeheartedly.

Thai women are world famous for their promiscuity.

Keeping these evil toys out of their hands means they need us to relieve their insatiable sexual urges.

 

i have a good female friend in the UK who bought herself a “rabbit” who then didn’t seek a man for a few years as a result, she even stopped socializing and when she finally did get back into dating could not get off with a real man any longer. 

She bought it in her early thirties and was a bit of a tart, fairly attractive.

That is unfair. They are doing their best to stop vaping, drinking between midday and 5pm, and they patrol Pattaya regularly to ensure there is no prostitution. 

[retarius]

Shame. Sex toys are harmless and give many adults pleasure.

And this is only this particular outfit. Just another ridiculous law akin to vapes and the prohibition of alcohol sales (only at the big supermarkets and 7's etc.) midnight-11 am and 2-5pm. Maybe need to add sales of recreational dope to this list. Must keep people safe.

Nah! It's easy work without any risk involved to their income stream.

But there is no prostitution, so any patrols is a pure waste of resources.

If the police stopped their patrols society would break  down. There would be girls and guys selling themselves in every soi and along the beach. Thanks to Thai Police we have a family friendly resort. 

[Andre0720]

This law seems to be for the protection of all these men that Thai women no longer want...

[oxo1947]

 

Lets see---we are moving to make Prostitution legal --- Drugs like Pot can be sold and used quite openly

But Buying a Vibrator --beware the police are on you to you perverts........Makes sense   (in the Alice in wonderland world of Thailand )  ...........

Sadly you seem to have missed the very obvious sarcasm in @Wongkitlo's post. Here read this again.

You see the fact is there are "girls and guys selling themselves in every soi and along the beach"

Maybe a smiley or laughing emoji at the end of the post would have pointed you in the right direction of thought.

It’s baffles the mind a country as progressive as Thailand which legalised weed and same sex marriages still bans sex toys 

[Will B Good]

 

Glad to see some common sense returning to the RTP ......praise the Lord..... whoever is now in charge of determining police priorities should be given a medal .....(or an a**l dildo?)

 

Who cares about drunk drivers, illegal guns, human trafficking and the drug trade?......get these dildos off the street.

[ballpoint]

Just how many sex toys can you smuggle in one ring?

[owl sees all]

So are cucumbers, bananas and sausages out of fashion now?

I wonder,  will Thailand ever grow up. 

[lordgrinz]

Sex toys?! This is what is so important to stop in Thailand? Meanwhile, the streets, sidewalks, and Zebra crossings are deadly places to be while the daily carnage goes on unabated. TIT .....the Land of Lunacy!
