None Thai’s face new dilemma when visiting Thailand's nightlife zones.

Five nightlife seekers face jail sentences in Bangkok.

Three British and two Australian men at 00:12 hours where arrested for working without relevant documents in the Ratchada area of Bangkok.

Clive a thirty five year old single man from the Bristol area of England explained, “I was at a loss when I was whisked away after being notified I was working in a Karaoke bar without a work permit for such a position”.

I replied, “I am not working here I am just singing a song”

The arresting staff agreed he was singing in a public venue and this constitutes working and no permits where on the offending Englishman for such a position.

Barry from Brisbane Australia was also arrested for working without a permit.

Cheef Chinny Chnanny Wingy Wo Wa explained that the twenty two year old student studying technology at the university of Sydney is facing serious charges, for working in Thailand without a permit. We entered the premises and found Barry working as an audio technician.

Barry the stunned student protested, “I was not working as a audio technician, I was just passing the microphone to my brother Kevin as his song was coming up”.

Cheef Chinny Chnanny Wingy Wo Wa explain that Mr Barry Smith’s confession of working as a head musical technician and advisor will be seen as a positive during his swift trial. Also he added that the notification that his brother was also a singer without work permit would also help his case.

Great job, You got me cold. my father was born on April 1, 1900, and was a joker his entire life.

There are foreigners trying to hustle people into clubs in Patpong and I am sure in other places in Bangkok, I am sure that most of them do not have work permits and are trying to earn an income on the side. Maybe it is time that Immigration did do a sweep of the area.

Further Breaking News

A lesson never learned.

During his trial for working as a bartender without a work permit, Mr Steve Wats from Manchester elected to defend himself.

Steve Wats a solicitor working for the acclaimed "Rights and Sons of Deansrgate" explained that he was involved in a misunderstanding and as such could not be tried for a crime. He was mealy pouring his own drink not another persons and this technicality should be enough for a mistrial. He also explained that there was a similar misunderstand in the case of the other 4 defendants. The judge found Mr Wats not guilty.

Once the bailiff set him free, Mr Wats left the court hearing room, then two more court appointed bailiffs re-arrested Mr Wats for working as a legal consultant without the correct documents.
