Tourist Police officers in Phuket have arrested a 28-year-old Russian woman on charges related to prostitution, following a raid at a hotel in the city centre.

 

The operation was conducted under the direction of Pol. Lt. Gen. Saksira Phueak-am, Commissioner of the Tourist Police Bureau, as part of an ongoing crackdown on crimes affecting tourism and offences committed by foreign nationals.

 

The arrest was carried out on 24 April by a team led by Pol. Lt. Col. Pithaya Thep-mueang from the Tourist Police Division 3, along with investigators from the same division. The suspect was apprehended in her hotel room while allegedly engaging in illegal sex work.

The woman has been charged under Thailand’s Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act, with police stating she had solicited clients in a manner considered overt, inappropriate, and disruptive to the public.

 

Authorities confirmed that she was taken into custody and will face legal proceedings in accordance with the law.

According to several news articles Thais are never arrested.

So, did the police just go into her room whilst she was entertaining a client?

That is taking coitus interruptus to a brand new level.

How could they find her?

Tipped off by the hotel?!

Wouldn't recommend that place.

Whom was she with?

No word about that.

I was doing a borderrun to Cambodia in the surin border.I went to the market and i was offered vietnamese girls that i could take with me to a resort at the thai site I said no thanks.I heard later that a foreigner who said yes to this offer was taken in that resort and fined 20.000 baht.The girl wasnt fined at all.Im sure this have happened many times.This is a agreement with the pimp and the thai police.
