Seeing how many of them there are in Bangkok/Pattaya i would say hundreds. 🤷🏼

This reads as pretty bizarre. If the complaints were about aggressive approaches why are they at the hotel?

 

Someone shagged then informed on the hotel location? Or, they were followed to the hotel for the arrest?

 

Sounds like the USA where they do stings.

Yes the RTP officer was doing up his zipper as he left before reporting it to senior officials!

I can guarantee you that there is no prostitution in Pattaya. Ask TAT. 

In Thailand, is possession of condoms still a proof of illegal prostitution activity ?

To answer your question, yes.  Mostly at nighttime, I hear there are more of them as customer base has shifted. 

Especially the Indians prefer streetworkers to bargirls. Although they don't like professionals that are even darker than they are. 

Do some farangs prefer Africans to Thais? On Beach Road I don't think I have ever seen a really hot looking African. 

It does seem strange that tourists come to Thailand and choose to shag a Ugandan woman instead of a Thai... maybe it's the Arabs that are doing it for the one-off XP, as sounds pretty sketchy to me.

Although, if she's slim with long legs and a small butt, then can see why some might go exotic for a night... not really my cup of tea, but lots of strange folks around now. As a previous poster put it "I've been to a steak house and eaten seafood"... hell, who knows.

Probably the aggessive soliciting that got them nicked... but I guess there's lots of competition for customers these days.

Ridiculous.  What do you mean "still a proof" [sic]?   it isn't now and never was but, even if there had been such legislation, the only thing possession of rubbers would be confirmation of would be the non-offence of possession of rubbers.   And paying for sex is not an "illegal activity".

You have such a firm grasp of the obvious, it's difficult to understand why most folks think you are slow

And you have such a firm grasp of the banal and offensive.  No one here, apart from you, thinks he is slow.

Exactly, how did they know for sure unless it was a sting?

 

People complaining could be for any number of reasons.

I like Africans, but not exclusively. The attitude is quite different then i get with Thai's. They are warmer and friendlier without that childish stuff or dumb giggly friendliness stuff I get with Thai's. In fact, the Africans I have been with seem to be nicer people in a more genuine way and more mature emotionally. With Thai's I often feel like there is an act going in or they are playing a role rather then being themselves.

Nothing to do with competition for Thais, as you'd know if you read the article properly, the arrests were as a result of complaints from international tourists as a result of disruptive behaviour from the blacks soliciting services on Pattaya Beach, which involved aggressive tactics to attract customers. This follows incidents where these women reportedly harassed tourists, demanding purchases and causing disturbances.

 

Correct. I a local brass grabs your junk or offers her services, it's ok, but if a cock-in-a-frock or a black woman does it, it's either assault or disruptive behavior.

 

It's a cultural and social minefield out there.

Prostitution in Pattaya? I'm shocked! 😮

Cant have any competition to the thais are they on working visas or tourist visas 

 

Considering that prostitution is 'illegal', it is probably not on the list of 'restricted jobs for Thai nationals'... 😆

Police are enforcing laws against approaches made on streets or in public areas that cause discomfort or shame. The case serves as a reminder of ongoing efforts to maintain tourist safety and address illegal activities affecting the hospitality environment in Pattaya.

Thai employment only, no competition

The ones I have seen have been rather unattractive, but that may be my tastes. I have always felt certain nationalities or ethnicities prefer them with a bit of fat on them like a rare steak!
