A popular traditional massage parlour in central Lopburi was raided and several women arrested after an undercover police operation exposed a hidden prostitution ring operating under the guise of massage services.

 

The sting was led by Pol Lt Gen Songkrot Krirkkritya, Commander of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD), who instructed Pol Col Warit Pathumarak and Pol Lt Supoj Thongma-aeng to conduct the covert operation with support from Lopburi Provincial Health officials.

 

Posing as a client, an undercover officer paid 400 baht for a one-hour oil massage. Around 40 minutes into the session, the masseuse allegedly offered a “special service”, referring to sexual services, for an additional 1,500 baht. After agreeing to the deal and paying the total of 1,900 baht using marked banknotes, the officer signalled the arrest team to move in. Officers stormed the second-floor room mid-service and made the arrests.

 

Ms. Wilaiwan 30, was arrested and charged with soliciting for prostitution and engaging in activities within a brothel for personal gain. Ms. Kamolchanok 36, believed to be the owner, faces multiple charges including operating a sex business, running a health establishment without proper authorisation and profiting from prostitution.

 

Four other women, Ms. Arutsara 41, Ms. Chatchadaporn 38, Ms. Thidawan 37 and Ms. Prapatsorn 30, were also arrested for participating in prostitution activities inside the premises, located in Pa Tan Subdistrict, Mueang District, Lopburi.

 

During interrogation, the suspects admitted to offering sexual services alongside massage treatments. Authorities also confirmed that the business was unlicensed, and the establishment lacked the required health service permits. All six suspects were taken into custody and transferred to Mueang Lopburi Police Station for legal proceedings.

 

Officials warned that an increasing number of massage parlours are illegally operating as fronts for sexual exploitation and prostitution. In some cases, these establishments are also linked to human trafficking, particularly involving vulnerable women and migrant workers.

 

Authorities reminded the public that such activities are not only criminal but also serious violations of human rights. In cases involving minors under 18 years of age, the offence escalates to child sex trafficking, which carries severe penalties under the law.

I'm Shocked. To think that a business exploits the man this way using massage services for the men they make horny whilst massaging them is outrageous. How could they exploit such a prominent therapy as massages? Such a thing never happens in Thailand.

i am especially curious about this. Usually, in a massage business. You pay after the service. This also goes for paying for the happy ending afterwards. So this cop got his rocks off and then paid for it hence alerting his buddies dreaming they were the ones in the massage place to come in and arrest the girls. I have never ever been to a massage business and asked to pay in advance. So this scenario seems most likely.
