August 22, [PDN]:

At 2:00 am on August 22nd 2009, Pattaya Immigration police carried out a raid on the Coyotees Go Go Bar in central Pattaya. An Australian national and a Thai were arrested on charges of human trafficking and operating a prostitution business.

Pattaya's immigration police superintendent, Police Colonel Atiswis Kamonrat, and his team paid an unexpected visit to the bar situated in building no. 374/7-11 next to the Marine hotel in Walking street. The two storey building housed a bar on the ground floor and rooms on the second floor.

Police searched the bar and detained 21 female dancers, including one from Cambodia. Two under aged (17) girls were found in the rooms on the second floor servicing customers.

The bar owner, an Australian named Trevor James Halley [52], and the Mamasan, Mrs Watcharee Bahtpoh [44], were both arrested and taken into custody.

Mrs Watcharee confessed that she had been the Mamasan, hosting and providing women to the clients. All the women, including those under-aged, confessed to the charges made against them while Mr. Halley denied the charges - he claimed he had nothing to do with the prostitution business but the officials did not believe him.

After the investigation they were all taken to the Pattaya police station for further processing.
