Russian Go-Go Bar and Thai Pub raided by Pattaya authorities

[Bkungbank]

DSI is coming to inspect,so have to shown something before too late

[mancub]

I see exactly the same high profile Russian go-go operation is set up in Patong on Bangla rd ,complete with promo girls on the street .

[surfinglife]

Why on earth do they need to import farang prostitutes? Do Russians actually travel from Russia to Thailand for a Russian prostitute, would it be easier and cheaper to just go to a brothel in Russia?

It appears that the Russians don't know how to keep it discreet and should take a few tips from the Thais. The BIB didn't notice all the Thai prostitutes operating in Walking Street. Maybe this is just part of the operation to crack down on all Russian businesses that are taking jobs away from thais.

you have to understand that many foreigners are not interested in "local" services ..... many prefers Caucasian women but enjoy Thailand as holiday destination..

Really?

[johnnycthedog]

I hope this is the thin edge of the wedge and "Chooka" is correct.

The Thais have got to realise soon how much they are losing out on from other nationalities due to the masssive Soviet influx. How many Norwegians, Danes, Dutch, Germans, Brits and Americans go to Soviet owned Go Go bars and Discos...

Discos ??? Did they not die out 25 years ago ?

Soviets eat Soviet food in Soviet restaraunts. They travel in Soviet owned coaches with Soviet Tour guides. They fly on Soviet airlines and they dance and drink in Soviet bars and clubs....If any of them actually buy a Condo ??? Its from a Soviet Sales person.....where do you see the ordinary Thai person gaining from this other than Baht Bus drivers dragging their sweaty ( they seem to avoid using de-odorant ) bodies around to these venues.

I saw a Baht Bus sporting an advert looking for Soviet Women to apply for jobs as "Escorts". Where do you get the Visa for that ?

Every Thai I know when they hear mention of the word "Russian" follows it up with Mafia... I am sure lots of them are not but sh*t sticks when you get tarred with the same brush....

True, true and more true. From what I've seen the hottest place in Walking Street is the Russian restaurant & nightclub opposite Rolling Stone 2 Bar. It's pumping every night with Russians having a good time. There's probably some others tucked away around there too that aren't as visible.

Two observations - although there are some very hot young Russian girls getting around Pattaya in the groups of Russian tourists the shear number of Russians in Pattaya probably accounts for the decline in numbers visiting there from Europe and English speaking countries. Secondly some people prefer a white busty size 16 girl - as opposed to a slim size 8 Thai girl. [Personally I prefer the slim girls.]

No - he has no idea other than expressing his opinion. Unless he's been busy carrying out surveys of course,

[Just1Voice]

I don't know, but after looking at the picture of the "ladies", I'm thinking that if I woke up in the morning next to one of them, that would definitely be a good reason to stop drinking.

[Basil B]

mabe they just want to be rid of the mafia elements

No, just the non Thai elements

[Baerboxer]

Is this an old photograph - maybe from a Halloween Party at this bar?

[GirlDrinkDrunk]

Why on earth do they need to import farang prostitutes?

For Thai men? They like the white stuff.

Fair enough, how many Thai's could afford a Farang prostitute or do they charge Thai rates? I have never used them so I don't know the going rates.

you assume all thais are poor.

let me tell you a secret, all those expensive cars you see on the road -- hell, all those cars on the road and big houses around everywhere, all those businesses in the big buildings call malls with all the stores in them.

those are owned by thais.

not all thais are poor.

far from it.

I think a lot of people will do things on holiday that they wouldn't usually do in the course of their normal life in the city/country where they live, so maybe that's why there are so many Eastern European hookers in Thailand.

And yes, the question looms about why the police only now take some action about something that has been going on in plain sight (at Moulin Rouge) for many years. Perhaps the BIB/government are only now realising that the numbers of Eastern Europeans involved in shady or illegal situations here in Thailand has reached critical mass.

Actually, the very thing that drove me to drink and eventually to Thailand.

Oh c'mon Chooka! those nice looking young ladies are not prostitutes, they are just dancers, how could you say such a thing, they could be our own daughters and grand daughters.

Why? It's true.

Its funny isn't it that so many expats have this aversion to the truth.

Especially when describing their p-thing

[oldsailor35]

Why did they detain 50 customers who were apparently just drinking ?

[harrry]

Ivan: "After I eat my borscht, I need a Natasha!"

But with photos like these Natashas I can understand why Russians drink so much Vodka.

Where have you been for the last 20+ years?

Haven't you heard the wall came down in 1991?

Well they could legislate to make paid whoring a 'protected' line of work the same as tourist guides and security personnel.

As an aside, neither the Thais or the Caucasian 'hoe's' in the photograph would attract much business and any 'johns' would wake up thinking "man I must have been pi$$ed last night"

Hey! Hey!

Slow down!

They are not prostitutes or whores!

They are 'Hostesses'

Yeah yeah ok ok so sometimes the customers like to eat a Hostess twinkie or two..........

[belg]

i hope the owner will get also a hefty fine for each person working illegally, or they don't do that anymore or it is just a big brown envelope and the case is cleared

[SteveB2]

Meanwhile, back on the ranch - just a hundred yards or so down on Walking street, Another Russian dancer operation 'The Galaxy' joint, flaunts dancers in glass show cases in full view of all passers by ...apart from the BIB on this occasion .

So remind me, how do the Alien WP regulations go... Isn't it something like 4 (real) Thai employees need to be employed for each foreigner working?

and although rarely enforced at present - the work permit job description should be for duties, that available Thai workers either can't do, or don't want to do?

[sugarshishi]

GOOD ...good finaly baybe we will have a real moulin rouge !!!!!!

I meat a slovakian girl in UK that have worked in that big window russian club...

The neon where to big and atracted bug'sssss LOL

[marell]

Tomorrow Mr. Chalerm will announce that these girls are really a tour group that mistakenly checked into the wrong hotel. They will no doubt appreciate his assistance.

In other words... the war began.

on my first visit to pattaya several years ago, (2005)i went to that russian place near the (gone?) peppermint gogo up the stairs

they charged 250 baht for a bottle of san mig light, and a girl wanted 2000 baht for a five minute lap dance !! i exited rather quickly

The Peppermint Gogo is still in Walking Street. It's now on the street level - close to where it used to be (when upstairs). It's a bit tamer now than before. Used to be my favourite gogo because of the superb eye candy on show and the cheaper draft beers.

I spent 8 years in Africa, and you don't know how many times I was told "Oh, you just came to Africa to "F... our African women!!!" Duh, why would I come here to "F.... a white woman?? I am in Africa for christs sake!! Of course that 's why I came here for..............Why would I go to Pattaya to be with a Russian fat gal?? Beats me!!
