Prostitutes and other criminal elements removed from Pattaya Beach



PATTAYA: -- In the early hours of Tuesday Pattaya Police conducted a search for prostitutes and other suspected criminal elements on Pattaya Beach.

A total of 50 women and Ladyboy’s were detained and taken to Pattaya Police Station where their details were taken and a criminal history search was made to ensure that none of the detainees were currently wanted in connection with a previous crime.

The Pattaya Police Chief ordered the operation as he is concerned that those who loiter on Pattaya Beach in the early hours of the morning may be planning to commit crimes against Tourists or may be involved in prostitution which can tarnish the image of the City, especially as the ASEAN Economic Community, which begins in 2015, will open up Thailand and Pattaya to the rest of the region.

Local government officials are concerned that Pattaya will only be known for its sex industry and crime.

We wouldn't want prostitutes to tarnish Pattaya's image.

[Pralaad]

Anyone else noticed each time they find same number 50?

It's like a quota, once 50 found operation stops

I didn't think Thais really understood sarcasm, but this journalist seems to have captured it beautifully. Yeah........right.

A bit late to worry

[laurentbkk]

they should go by midday , pretty sure they would find half of pattaya on it .

[laislica]

Could they possibly have identified the reason why so many tourists visit the place?

Talk about head in the sand!

If the place is really, properly cleaned up, why would so many want to visit?

A shot in the foot?

(How to spell hypocritical?)

They wouldn't need prostitutes for that, there are more than enough government officials capable of tarnishing Pattaya'simage.

[Lupatria]

It maybe much easier to get rid of the sand at the beach...

Pattaya has a beach ?

Amazing the things one learns after 10-20 years ! Next thing you know, it'll have bars, temples, and massage parlours, and maybe even it's own song ! Something like, One Night In Pattaya (Can Make A Rich Man Poor) ?

Yeah.......55 would express my feelings better.

[morrobay]

Why cant they just leave the girls alone and get rid of all the other lowlife locals there ? Answer: The fines they collect.

The harsh Thai safety regulations allow not more then 50 people to carry on a pickup.

[empireboy]

I think Pattaya's image has gone bit beyond the "tarnish" stage!

prostitution which can tarnish the image of the City

A bit late as the toilet is already known as the biggest sleaziest place on the planet.

This is an annual event, they round up 50 people, parade them before the media then drive them back to their place of work.

[bushwacker]

Their one and only real Hub and they want to get rid of it?

[drand11]

Why in the world would anyone goto Pattaya if not for the ladies?

Amazing...and again, this is just window dressing. This will all go away in a few days.

Maybe they should focus on the real crimes... drugs & russian mafia etc..

[ggt]

may be involved in prostitution which can tarnish the image of the City,

What a joke! Pattaya is the prostitution capital of the world...

When people hear the name Pattaya...they immediately think of "Walking Street"...

[sabaii69]

without the sex 'industry' (manufacturing?) why would anyone want to come here? For the lovely water you can't go in? Without the sex 'fines' from the cops, I guess they would just have to fine more tourists for riding motorbikes in public.

Yes, that's when they get their bonus...

Quick math

50000 - A total of 50 women and Ladyboy’s were detained and taken = 49950 left
