Should have known...says right on the visa "Employment Prohibited" and being an ex-UK colony, they're good English speakers/readers

There were surely adding a little "colour" to the offerings on Walking Street, however

although they were on tourist visa.

By Implication, if they were carrying work permits it would have been OK

Why is it I alway's miss out on the classy stuff

although they were on tourist visa.

By Implication, if they were carrying work permits it would have been OK

Non-immigrant "B" I believe is the correct visa for this type of visitor. That plus the work-permit and they would have been untouchable

I wonder what the job description would be?

And to support their work permit application they would be required to provide photographs of their place of work and all the Thai staff in their 'company' to ensure the ratio of Thais to foreigners is properly maintained.

Still I guess that wouldn't present too many problems in Walking Street.... 7 Ugandans to about 7,000 Thai whores...Fair enough I guess...

I guess they could not catch the russian's dancing in the windows.

Ugandan prostitutes rounded up in Pattaya

PATTAYA: -- In change from the usual Uzbekistani prostitutes, officers from the Child and Women Protection Unit of Police Region 2 organised an undercover operation which eventually netted seven females from Uganda. All seven, aged between 22 and 42, were later charged with selling themselves in exchange for cash. The operation was set up with an undercover operative using marked banknotes to lure three of the ladies of ample girth to a hotel near Walking Street around midnight on Wednesday.

7 in LOS, thousands in UK and getting government benefit payments to top up their lifestyle.

Wish I had known this sooner.

Yep, come on down, everyone a winner.

Of course as prostitution is illegal in Thailand they were illegally working in an illegal profession so if two negatives make a positive they're in the clear.

As opposed to the thousands of Thais who are legally working in an illegal profession.

The Bangkok Post had an interesting series of articles on criminal law covering also prostitution. Interesting reading, especially for those who still think prostitution is illegal.

Whoever said that prostitution is illegal? The crime was working on a tourist visa , wasn't it?

Or maybe it was working on a tourist??

These things get so complicated
