So paid sex with a freelancer from a club is fine but not sex with a freelancer from the street? I did try reading the act you mentioned, but understand the wording doesn't appear to be my strong point.

 

I think the idea would be that if you meet in the club, then come to an arrangement, it is different to someone approaching another person on the street and asking for/offering services.  It's more "organic".  (Although we know why the girl is in the club, as well as why the man goes there.)

You guys should know well by now that this is an unofficial reserved occuptation for Thais.... obvious African hookers are simply not okay in such high-profile places, haha.

How can Thai police be undercover! They look Thai so they won't be approached by foreign 'ladies'.

Very little to see 👀 here!

Policeman can’t believe his luck with that smile. Free booties for all cops in exchange for letting them off.

Paying for sex with a freelancer from the street is not illegal.  The girl who is on the street soliciting for sex is committing an offence.  But once she's left the street with the customer, what they do is their business.

Only the hookers who stand under coconut trees.  Palm trees are ok.

Where was that stated to be the requirement, eh?  They're in a police station, what personnel do you expect to see there?

Is is the maths or the comprehension, or both  that you are struggling with. ?

How appropriate, coconut ghosts at the coconut bar. 

 

I hope their operation is successful. 

 

Bloody foreigners taking Thai jobs again. 😡

This has been going on for years Russians even had private disco rooms in some Hotels for their own use they hired whole floors of small Hotels, I used to stay in one years ago and were told by the desk not to go to that floor, I had a peek one afternoon no one was around and they had a nice band room set up, this was about 20 years ago. 

Walk around Nana and see the African girls in bright colours standing along the street, the BMWS can't detect them

50 police men nabbed 13 women... wow ... deserve standing ovation 👏 

Anyone walking in sukhumvit bkk or pattaya can point out minimum 200 at each places... 

brown envelopes not moved... so let's detain some of these women and say we are modest beings...

The officers involved in this operation are not the only officers in the force, there are many others doing the job you lamely suggested those pictured should be doing.

I had no idea there were already some police personnel doing other work. I am better informed now. Thank you for your information.
