landofthefree Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 They crack down on this but Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy go full speed ahead. It confuses me! ....................not to mention something that is often missed, the other 99% of the sex industry in Thailand that serves Thai clientele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tragickingdom Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 If the police were only so active when it came down to far more damaging crimes for society like corruption. I bet all the arresting officers and court officials would qualify for prosecution themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harsh4 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 They crack down on this but Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy go full speed ahead. It confuses me! true...but they used the internet to advertise this 'service' maybe that's why a different category and crackdown to discourage that route ? Cowboy etc pay monthly right ? No money making angle here...Just guessing...still, pretty hypocritical in the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexpoker Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 As for Nana, Cowboy etcetera, what goes on there may be distasteful to some but does not fall into the category of forced prostitution as far as I know. lol? You cannot be serious. From wikipedia: Human trafficking Thailand is listed by the UNODC as both a top destination for victims of human trafficking and a major source of trafficked persons.[43] A proportion of prostitutes over the age of 18, including foreign nationals from Asia and Europe, are in a state of forced sexual servitude and slavery.[44] There are reports of bribe taking by some low- or mid-level police officers facilitating the most severe forms of trafficking in persons.[3] Ethnic minorities such as northern hill tribe peoples, many of whom do not have legal status in the country, are at a disproportionately high risk for trafficking internally and abroad. Within the country women are trafficked from the impoverished northeast and the north toBangkok for sexual exploitation. Rarely seen in touristy areas. Mainly in the huge home gown (90% of) prostitution rackets just for the Thai men. How do you know this? Says "Within the country women are trafficked from the impoverished northeast and the north toBangkok for sexual exploitation." If you could provide me with any source/links, I'd appreciate it.

SteeleJoe Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think what is unusual is that both were Thais, if you check out the swinger websites for Thailand the adverts are all usually from male farangs with Thai partners. Swinging seems to be a western concept, excepting the Chinese and Japanese who also seem to enjoy orgies I've never checked out any swinger websites anywhere but i know that swinging is by no means unheard of amongst middle and upper class Thais. There have been arrests in the past, articles written about the scene and I've got loads of anecdotal evidence that it goes on (some of it first hand accounts). Apparently there are some large and active groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayw Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Since when was swinging illegal in Thailand?? As long as all participants are willing and enjoy it what the hell is wrong with that, sounds good to me. Maybe they should not have mentioned the 500Baht fee even though this was certainly not making money as I should think that form 3 or 4 participants would barely cover their travelling and hotel charges. Hardly prostitution for goodness sake, just good sexual fun for a few willing people so where is the harm in that? Next time they should not mention the 500Baht to cover costs in any advertisement as I am sure the satisfied participants would gladly contribute to their small costs if asked at the time.

pointoffew Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Asking for reimbursement of travel expenses is clever - in most countries this would be regarded as FREE sex. "They make their living by selling fish" Shell fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oberkommando Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Why would the BIB police soi cowboy? They own several of the bars. During Thaksin's tenure and post-Purachai they were told to wind their necks in and they used to close up at the correct times, with little flaunting of the rules. I remember the night after the coup all their bars were open again until 6/7 in the morning, just like the good ol' days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaza Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Next they will introduce Sharia law... I cannot believe these people have been named and shamed! As said before, some may find this distasteful or perverse but I don't see how they are breaking the law any more than the hundreds of karaoke and ladybars. Reminds me more of Malaysia every day. Next they will be outlawing sex outside of marriage. Perhaps wearing the burka will help? Hypocrisy is just becoming a way of life in this wonderful enlightened country.

Apparently there are some large and active groups. I agree, there are plenty of websites out there with Thai couples looking to swing. At least thats what I have heard It isn't swinging either if a fee is charged, regardless of whether it is for 'travelling expenses'. It's the same as escorts claiming payment is for time only and not sexual services. If the meet is dependent on a payment being made then it's prostitution.

Within the country women are trafficked from the impoverished northeast and the north toBangkok for sexual exploitation. Please tell me what this has to do with Nana, Cowboy, Patpong. From what I have seen, the women who work there are on a salary, are free to come and go as they please, and are Thai nationals. Clearly a large portion of them are there due to serious economic pressures and they hardly have enviable lives, but I doubt any serious person who has any more than a passing familiarity with what goes on there would assert that any significant number of them are "forced" to be there by threat of violence or other vile techniques used by human traffickers. Lumping them in with true victims of human trafficking is simply not an accurate characterization of their situation. Have you ever been to any of these places and actually conversed with any of the women who work there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
