A late-night raid has exposed a massage parlour in the heart of Chiang Rai allegedly operating as a front for prostitution, prompting swift action from local authorities under the “Chiang Rai Clear Sky” operation.

 

At approximately 23:00 on 12 May, Chiang Rai Governor Mr. Charin Thongsuk received reports that a massage parlour in the city centre was offering sexual services for hourly rates ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 baht. He immediately ordered Deputy Governor Mr. Prasert Jitpleecheep and Chiang Rai Chief District Officer Mr. Supot Sanmee to coordinate with administrative officials, volunteer defence corps, local police, immigration officers, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS), and Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) to investigate.

 

Authorities raided a three-storey shophouse operating under the name “Noraset Health Massage” on Jetyod Road in the Rob Wiang subdistrict of Mueang Chiang Rai. The ground floor served as a reception area where clients were seen drinking alcohol, while the second and third floors were divided into seven massage rooms.

 

Seventeen women were found on the premises. Of these, 15 were stateless persons without official registration, one was identified as a Myanmar national, and one was a Thai national. Also, two of the women were under the age of 18.

The alleged manager, Ms. Nisa, aged 40, was also a stateless person holding a non-registered status card. She was assisted by Ms. Fasai, aged 29, also stateless, who was identified as the caretaker of the establishment.

 

A search of the premises revealed large quantities of both used and unused condoms, supporting claims of prostitution. Prices reportedly varied depending on the age and appearance of the women.

 

Both Ms. Nisa and Ms. Fasai were charged with multiple offences including procuring, managing, or facilitating prostitution, even with the consent of the individuals involved. Additional charges included managing a prostitution establishment, employing minors under the age of 18, and failing to notify the Ministry of Labour within the required 15-day period.

 

The women providing services were charged with prostitution. Authorities are now working with multidisciplinary teams to screen for human trafficking victims, particularly focusing on the two under 18s discovered during the raid.

 

The operation forms part of a broader campaign to crack down on illegal activities disguised as legitimate businesses and to address human trafficking and exploitation in the province.

What about the around 50 other massage parlors in Yedyod rd and adjacent sois?

OMG. This could literally cause the social fabric of the nation to unravel. We can't allow this. It could cause moral degradation and unpure thoughts and actions.
