Crackdown On Pattaya Beach Road Prostitutes

[Rimmer]

Pattaya Police clear Pattaya Beach of Prostitutes

PATTAYA: -- Following orders from the new Pattaya Police Chief, Police Colonel Nantawoot, a team of Pattaya Police Officers assisted by civil volunteers, known in Thai as “O-Po-Po-Lor”, conducted a late night operation on Wednesday to clear Pattaya

Beach of Prostitutes and others suspected of loitering with intent to engage in anti-social or criminal activity.

A total of 60 people were rounded-up, including 20 transsexuals and 40 women.

All were charged with offenses relating to loitering with intent and prostitution and paid a small fine before being released back onto the Beach where they presumably continued with whatever they were doing prior to their arrest.

That should sort that problem.

That should sort that problem.

But hang on. It DOES sort out a few serious problems - namely the end of the month tea money and bumping up commission from fines (and probably a few free knee tremblers into the bargain)!

they do this 2 or 3 times every week, its nothing new, I just wish they took the yaba dealing pimps instead of the ladies if their intention is to make the beach safer, but obviously its cash they are after

Personally, I don't see what the problem is with a bit of crack along the beach road, some of us drive along their just to get an eyeful

You have said it all sharecropper

Silly question - but why do the police wait for late at night - there are lots of "girls" hanging around in the daytime - or are they just relaxing?

"All were charged ... before being released back onto the Beach where they presumably continued with whatever they were doing prior to their arrest".

LOL this really made me laugh out loud...

[Meridian007]

I was thinking that it's about time someone tried to clean up the beach road and walking street, until I read that last line.

All were charged with offenses relating to loitering with intent and prostitution and paid a small fine before being released back onto the Beach where they presumably continued with whatever they were doing prior to their arrest.

I assume that the Pattaya One news writers are native English speakers, but the phrasing of this made me laugh!

"Here we see the not-so-rare Pattayaus Prostitutinus being released into the wild once more to continue its role in the beautiful the circle of life..."

[Asianrider]

Yawn !! new police chief likes his attention grabbing headlines !!

[Theyreallrubbish]

My impression has always been that the girls that hang down by the beach are infected with HIV or too addicted to drugs to be able to hold a job at any bar.

Maybe I'm wrong and its the sweet innocent ones who don't know how to get a job at a bar, but I've always rather thought that punters who take beach girls have a death wish anyway, and to what lengths should we go to protect them from themselves.

Kindof harsh I know, but they're obviously willing to engage in very risky behaviour and will come a cropper one way or another anyway

It's too hot.

[crusader79]

Wow, look, sand!

Yes, too hot during the day, now that high season is done,...

"A total of 60 people were rounded-up, including 20 transsexuals and 40 women."

I just noticed this.

Is this a typical ratio for Pattaya, one in three "women" with the danglies?

[SomchaiFuhlang]

Shame they concentrate on the Thai ladies and not the Russian Mafia prostitutes. I have nothing against the females, only their scumbag bosses. Of course, this exercise is really only about beer money anyway. I hope Pattaya's finest enjoy their ice cold Beer-Chang tonight, for tomorrow promises to be an interesting day!

hehe I noticed that too.

[fishhooks]

Was sitting in a Baht Bus when I got the ThaiVisa SMS about the crackdown about 30 minutes ago.

As I read the SMS I looked around for evidence of the crackdown...................Nothing too report sir, all as normal in the hundreds!

[Sparkles]

"Engaging in anti social or criminal activity" .....I always thought having sex was very social.

[NALAK]

wow 1113 people viewing this dont worry guys it looked like business as usual today. reference girls cannot get job in bars like some of us they like to be self employed not tied to a bar with strict start finish times, cut for not enough drinks or bar fines or have another day job.

Might round up normal people in the process.

[virtualtraveller]

Actually I wish they would do something serious about this lot, have you ever tried walking down that promenade by night, it's near impossible without being forcibly accosted by someone every 10 meters refusing to let you pass (a real turn off if ever there was one), they practically manhandle you in the hope you'll be 'persuaded' to go home and make love with them. And when you get tough trying to escape it they react aggressively as if you're starting a bar fight. Ladyboys are the worst.

[Murf]

All these crack downs are making me crack up.

[jomtienbob]

I heard that this afternoon the red shirts were pouring into Pattaya and Sukhumvit was all blocked up. Looks like the Police chief is only just about to learn where his resources might be best applied. I wonder if they'll be makin a mess down here again eh? My guess is its likely because they want the international exposure! They must already think he's going to loose... now what would give them that idea??

So you're a bar owner then?

Very unfair comment, these girls simply prefer to work for themselves (or so I'm told), .

BTW how does one tell a Russian mafia prostitute from an ordinary Thai prostitute?? Serious question, but if you folks want to add punchlines, please feel free....within the rules, of course.

Pattaya - the hub of crackdowns on crack(s).
