No such thing as prostitutes in Pattaya or anywhere else in Thailand!!!!

They should conduct a purge on themselves first!! , a famous quote by someone i can't remember ...... "before you try to remove the speck from someone else's eye - remove the plank from yopur own"!!!

Just looking at the Photo:

PDN everybody in the photo seem to be very happy, guy in the front in red thinks it very amusing.

PON the ladies seem to be very experienced in posing in a line up all that is missing is the glass window.

I really do not think a 100 - 200B fine is worrying anybody, not an effective deterrent.

At 2pm
