Well, here in MHS, there is an area known for providing drugs to man farang. But it is also known by the locals that they get money for notifying the police of people buying drugs in that area. So, they know a good deal when they see one.

Also, I have been doing a lot of traveling outside of BKK/Chonburi/South Islands and I am not seeing any prostitution. What I do see here are foreigners without shirts, driving like they are on speed with a motorcycle in the quiet streets of Pai, and people driving with cigarettes in one hand and a beer in the other hand. I had a beer last night for the first time in months, it was a big Chang, and I had it with dinner in my home. I fell asleep after about 3/5 of the beer. I called a friend and asked why it made me so tired, while I watch folk sit on the streets and drink beer after beer. She told me: "because they are drunks." Now that I am trying to stop drinking, and I sit here at my computer with TEA, and not alcohol, I find that alcohol really does affect me, even a little bit.

Reading this post make me think that you should seriously consider trying to give up drinking tea as well.

I knew Christian years ago in Bangkok. Very nice, laid back, down to earth guy. Speaks Thai fluently as he was a Buddhist monk for a few years. (Kind of ironic given his forename)

I haven't been in touch with him since I moved from Bkk 5 years ago. Back then he wasn't organising any parties, but I guess it's got to be more fun than teaching English, there again most things are.

Unfortunately I have a feeling he's not going to be let off with a fine & slap on the wrists as given the current clamp down on internet porn / prostitution someone has to be made an example of, regardless of whether everyone involved were consenting adults or not, and locking up a long term expat to prevent them from corrupting chaste Thai folk is a double bonus.

They should all get ten years each.disgusting behavior.

Oh yes, adults who are not hurting anyone should get thrown in the slammer for 10 years! Killing someone here will get you less time, but having sex is much worse than killing, don't you know!

How many more of these perverts are around?

Many more than you would obviously care to believe.

[tracer5050]

All fun and no play

[mrtoad]

Quite sad, really. Is there a law against 'organizing a sex party'? Other than the porn and maybe the pills, I am not sure what law was broken.

Operating without an entertainment licence.

The BIB go from strength to strenght in their strict enforcement of the law. I wonder if the boys in brown had to get theeir trunchons out at this party?

[bob6023]

I feel much safer now, knowing that the police have arrested those fornicators..Dangerous bunch those. Could give Thailand a bad reputation. You never know what these crazies will do when hopped up on Viagra.

[TAWP]

F#ck it, I wasn't going to mention it but here goes...

I am friend [only] with one of the girls that frequently visits the parties in question. She is just a normal Thai girl with a large libido and who likes foreigners too...so a double bonus for her. She likes the parties and tries to go as often as she can. Think she visited the events both in BKK and Pattaya. No-one is ever forced into anything. And 'No means No' is a very important rule enforced.

And no, I have never gone there.

Added: Haven't heard from her today so I have no idea if she was one of the ones arrested yesterday, yet.

Once again, the police took everyone in. They got ID's. This has been on all the Thai news channels and papers. Don't you think there would have been some mention of underage girls?

Most parties do not allow single men to attend. Only couples. How many couples have one of the members underaged? And since women generally start feeling the itch to try this lifestyle later in life then men, couples tend to be older when they go to these parties.

If you do hear from her and she was in fact there, please let us know what happened as a result.

It looks as if the organizers are going to get slammed, but what about the partygoers themselves?

Ever heard of condoms breaking?

-Ever heard of cars?

-Ever heard of cars crashing?

Ever heard of accidents? Even your wife can transmit that virus to you when the condom breaks. Accident.

This topic's moving quite fast ! And where the heck is the video for goodness' sake?!?

Uh,i don't know who you married,but my wife?NO CHANCE.Not all expats are here for the sleaze... You would be amazed how many decent farangs live here.

I second that !!!

Me too

Count me in too!

I am glad so many people feel it necessary to chime in on the virtue of their wives!

shock horror!!!! We didn't ALL marry bar girls.........hel_l,some of us even married ladies with an education and a good job.........

Oh for gods sake, will you guys get a grip!!!!!!!!!, are you all so insecure that you have to harp on and on and on, and if your not doing that then your bitching worse than any woman I've ever heard.

I'm sure you all have very lovely wives and are very proud of them but this topic is about a police bust in Bangkok on a sex party, which i might add is ridiculas.

Please can we stick to the topic in question

I'm guessing it was from this craigslist ad. I have been wondering how long it would last......

I have seen that posting for a while and sometimes it includes photos of some knarley old skinny falang in a hot tub with his face blotted out. I kinda wondered how long it would last before they got busted.

The bib always have a camera at the ready so I suspect it will not be long before photos appear somewhere.

I know that Knarley old skinny falang and out of friendship and FEAR I would not call him that to his face.

That said, reportedly, the police were quite friendly and were looking for drugs which the did not find.

Knowing my pal, they were herbal viagra, these old crocks have to watch their hearts.

ON ON

[deepskyfreak]

How could they be so silly and organize a swinging party in a hotel room... Get a soundproof flat or a house in a rice field. Stupidity must be punished. Well, the arrested might even have some fun in police custody - some prison cells are rumored to have swinging parties going on there as well. At least immigration detention grapevine tells... TIT

[munirkn]

now what will happen next? will police make a party with them and release them or what?

[Happy Jack]

Whatever your morality may be and regardless of your attitude to this sort of behaviour ... I don't see that this undertaking is of any relevance to anyone other than those who have chosen to be part of it... ie consensual sex between people of legal age.... therefore why are the police involved at all?

Now that I am trying to stop drinking, and I sit here at my computer with TEA, and not alcohol, I find that alcohol really does affect me, even a little bit.

Another thing I am realizing is that those who drink alot actually DO HAVE behavior changes, and mood swings, and they, their memories, their anger, they behavior is quite unpredicatable, as are thier mouths.

In Thailand, social is everything, and a lot of these manthet forget why they are called "farang."

I can see this happing, more and and more and more.

Also, I have had good relationships with the police. The police here are skilled at running a police state, unlike most of the rest of the world. We should be learning from their skills, including their skills in taking bribes.

When I was in Cambodia, I met a policeman who had been called by one friend to witness an accident, when he arrived, he realized the other victim was also a friend. I was invited to dinner. There was a very big dinner. The policeman told me I could order whatever I wanted, because they were both his friends and since he couldn't lose a friendship, both were paying for dinner and the table (which was fairly large) was full of men eating and drinking and the two guys who had been in the accident were now friends as both were now paying the cop via dinner, and we could eat anything we wanted, and the food was incredible! But, as I understand it, no money was to go to the cop, just a very painful dinner check so that they learned not to put him in this situation again. Both of the men at dinner seemed to be happy with the solution, but I guess they both had to pay for their car repairs now.

What??????????????????????????????

[DanaDeLuxe]

"Crime" without victims at least. The invitation on craigslist is written pretty decent. An erotic night out with a "No means No" policy? Where's the problem?

[RusticCharm]

And here is the exact reason I have a no sex tourist policy

What about sexpats? What about single guys & girlfriends? And vice-versa. How do you differentiate? 

Well, thanks for letting us know which accomodation in Chang Mai to avoid.

I this the Police did a great job. And want to thank them. My wife ( who is 43 years younger than me) and I can slept better tonight knowing that perverts are not welcome in Thailand.

We can not believe people will do this in Thailand or for that matter anywhere in the world.

Surely... probably the same guy

I think pics of this are the last thing that most would want to see. These are rarely Angelina and Brad type crowds... more likely Archie + Edith Bunker and Somying who used to work at Rainbow 2 back in the late 80's.

Who does really give a <deleted>? A little hot today but anything else to be actually concerned about?

If one of my nine dogs had broken one of its legs I personally would have considered that much breakier and up-setting news.

Got the Farangs, but missed the Casino in the basement and the drug-lab in the attic,

A no-shocker on the ring-leader's nationality...

Briton charged in Thailand for organising 'swinging' parties

BANGKOK, Feb 5, 2009 (AFP) - A British man was charged in Thailand Thursday for organising so-called 'swinging' parties during which couples swap sexual partners, tourist police said.

Christian Arthur Richards, 54, was arrested early Thursday along with six Thais and 16 foreigners including US, French, Indian, and Chinese citizens at one of the parties in a Bangkok hotel.

Tourist police commander Colonel Archayon Kraithong said Richards advertised the orgies on his website, and then charged 3,000 baht for couples and singles to participate.

"He is under interrogation, but has been charged with procurement and commercial sex advertisements, which could land him 10 years jail term or a fine of up to 20,000 baht," Archayon told AFP.

The 22 participants from Thailand, China, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, France, the United States and Australia were all released after paying fines of up to 1,000 baht, Archayon added.

Richards, who is married to a Thai woman, is alleged to have organised at least 100 swinging parties in Bangkok and the seamy resort town of Pattaya over the last three years.

Although prostitution is officially illegal in Thailand, the kingdom has a reputation for its sleazy bars and explicit sex shows, and the sex tourism industry here is believed to employ hundreds of thousands of Thais.

Archayon said there were no prostitutes at the swinging party.

==================================================

Perhaps a thread title change with the nationality of the organizer and the higher number of arrested is in order....

Can you be more specific regarding your comment on Brits.

Are you really that naive that you think Brits are the main cause of the decay in this society.

If you ask most Thai girls/business people etc...what nationality they prefer there answer invariably is "English" ( All Thai's refer English as (Pu Dee Angrit) in most cases. And if you read this article most of the attendees were other nationalities.

What's your beef with Brits? This forum is about swingers, not the behaviour of a few bad examples.

Jokes aside,sounds like an aids fest to me.....

Ever heard about condoms ?

Ever heard of condoms breaking?

Yes of course....and unfortunately, this happens even when having sex anywhere else than a Swinging party.....So, in my opinion, not more "aids festival" than any other kind of protected sex...

And what did they all do ten minutes after the blokes got there? A wipe on the curtains then back down to the local pub?

That is SO retarded, swinging not legal, what a stupid ass law

people willingly having fun in privacy of their hotel room, yet Nana Plaza (and many other places) are wide open knowingly selling sex
