Pattaya46 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 It's old news from 2 nights ago about the raid at both Ginza agogos. The title is ridiculous, as often with PDN, just to make the article look far more important than it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title is ridiculous, as often with PDN, just to make the article look far more important than it is... "just to make the article look far more important than it is... " I guess "important" is in the mind of the beholder ... same goes for "ridiculous" when it comes to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1950 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Most sex(y) activity in Pattaya tourist areas - like Walking Street - is legal.Why would the Junta close legitimate businesses? Activities like: Obscene sex shows Nudity Prostitution on premises Underage workers or patrons Consumption of Drugs or Drugs discovered on the premises Extended operating hours. Expired or no licenses Are illegal and could get a venue closed including so called 'legitimate businesses'. Most of the the time, violators are arrested and fines imposed. Frequent or severe violations result in the venue being closed. Authorities often do sweeps in the entrainment areas for violations, especially during changes of the guard. Nothing new. If you re-read the OP, there were violations in two venues found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't replying to the OP but to irishsmile who want to close all places. Many police raids recently, and still more than 40 agogos open on Walking Street area only. Most offense you cited are exceptions, not the general case, and I a happy that such places are closed when found guilty of not respecting rules. PS: There is no more nudity in many agogos now: coyotes invasion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancelot Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 When I see the headline I was worried then after reading realised it was clamping down on minors which ain't too bad Please don't close the to go go bars Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Yes, I too support raids to remove underage workers. But I'm cynical and wonder if the sudden interest in enforcement is in any way related to Thailand's ongoing assertions that it is "Making great progress" eliminating human trafficking...

LOL, I'm sensing so e hostility HD, Constipated ? I'd rather think of myself as high class hypocrite, having not been in a bar for a very long time and repelled by the downward slide of the scene about 25 years ago (more) I couldn't give a rats backside what they close down and if it reduced some of the DEAD beat grubs in tourist areas I could holiday in Phuket again without being exposed to all those creepy beer belly sexpats stinking the joint up Imagine the productivity output in LOS if you could get all those lazy young folk out of the bars and into some meaningful type of employment, paying taxes and producing goods, low class deadbeats would move onto the phillipines or wherever and some better paying high class tourist might return, not to be repelled by the seedy cesspits that ooze out of joints like Patts, Patong, CM, and certain parts of Bangers.

Don't kid ya self He means 90% of the sex industry nationally is there to cater for Thai men. Tens of thousands of Thai women prostitute themselves. Only a small proportion make it to the Farang big time at the beach, cowboy or nana. Add to that all of the tens of thousands of Mia Noi and we really can start to see why Thai girls prefer good clean, respectable and responsible western men.

CharlesHH Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Like the Cambodian exodus, likely this is a response to the media created attention to undocumented workers and those held to work seeming against their wills. Thailand has for decades been vilified in international media for these matters and the go go bars. There is a cycle to these things, and we are in that part of that cycle nowdays. But, I also say....... Go Army! Clean out the Man In Dubai cronies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
