Chinese Tour Group Sex Show complaint to Pattaya Tourist Police

[klauskunkel]

something has been tarnished here, I'm just not quite sure what...

[malt25]

these dregs of society need to be publicly humiliated, then sent to a facility that makes very little rocks from big rocks

Which dregs ? The scammer or the sex tourists ?

Just wondering.

[Krataiboy]

Now let me get this right. At the behest of the junta, Pattaya is being transformed from the Thai equivalent of Sodom and Gomorrah into a family-friendly resort. Yet at the same time its renowned enforcers of law and order are chasing a ticket tout for NOT serving up the porn show he had promised a bunch of dirty-minded Chinese.

You couldn't make it up.

[Time Traveller]

Only in Thailand could you go to the police to report that you were scammed by this, and only in Thailand would the police go investigate this lol

No this happens elsewhere. Thailand ain't so special.

[empireboy]

2000 baht... split across a group of how many? Should they consider it a cheap education for their stupidity!?

[FireMedic]

Right ,and the guy who took them to the show should get done as well

[Friendly Stranger]

Hmmm. I guess the Chinese are the new sex tourists? So when it was mentioned recently that they're pushing for many more to visit I bet Thailand did not see this cum, oops coming. Tongue firmly in cheek.

[Friendly Stranger]

Maybe I'm the only one confused here... Why, in Pattaya, would you need to pay someone to take you to a sex show?

The dups were Chinese tourists, who from experience, don't know Pattaya and it's alternative side, as do some. They were the confused party and a helpful local took his cue to be of assistance to lighten their wallets.

Also a whole new unsuspecting group of tourists to dupe since they've not seen any of the tricks from the locals. Maybe next week we'll have headline of a Chinese guy that got his 30k baht and gold chains stolen by ladyboys.

[Carrerakiss]

Maybe those laminated cards will be a really good clue for the police to mount a major investigation and track down an establishment offering sex shows. Just like they tracked down a massage shop offering sexual services recently.

Have to send in a couple of undercover foreign operatives first though. It's not like these places are easy to find or anything.

[JSixpack]

Where are our experts who know that Chinese aren't interested in the bars and classic Pattaya entertainments but are just led to packaged shopping emporiums and then go home to their rooms, never spending any money--unlike the big-spending farangs, the geese laying all the golden eggs, whom Thailand is driving to Cambodia and the Philippines ?

Very much agree with this - they should clock it up to experience, learn and move on. it was only THB 2000 anyway.

[meatboy]

so solly that's what you call getting --cked. has tony blair said,EDUCATION,EDUCATION,EDUCATION.

sorry tony got it wrong it was, PARTICIPATION,PARTICIPATION,PARTICIPATION.

[Lupatria]

He admitted taking the group to the bar and was in possession of pornographic laminated cards which he uses to explain the services on offer at the establishment.

Laminated, wow, a pro !!

Laminated and lubricated often goes hand in hand...

[Suradit69]

Only in Thailand could you go to the police to report that you were scammed by this, and only in Thailand would the police go investigate this lol

And only in Thailand would western sex tourists post pages of comments about it all, thinking themselves to be tremendously sophisticated compared to the Chinese sex tourists.

Probably many of these "sophisticated" western posters have also whined about being scammed in Thailand for every little thing or been sympathetic to other westerners who have been "tricked" out of their money by even more sophisticated rural women from Isaan.

Wow, u really hate Chinese Tourists

Or else he might have tagged along behind the tour group when he overheard where they were going ... only to be bitterly disappointed when the bar was found to be closed.

[BigC]

If I was in the police I would ask for all Chinese details

Full names, date of birth , how many kids, wife extra

Then phone numbers

Then a curtsy call to their wife's just to let them know that they are taking their husbands complaint about being ripped off when he was promised to watch a group sexy show very seriously so she does not need to worry

Then call his kids

And colleges ha ha

Don't think so. Looks like the wives are there with them in the photo.

In China you can get a haircut for sixpence but not the show.

They came for the show and got ripped off.

Why shouldn't they be upset? Doesn't Thailand advertise itself internationally as the sex capitol of the world? Don't laugh but the Chinese would sincerely view this as false advertising.

Well I am laughing. So they were ripped off. Like allot of people say

" why give someone money to show you where a sex show is "

Specially if this is supposed to be he sex capital of Asia why on earth would they need a tour guid whilst walking through walking street

That's like asking for a tour guid to guid one through a market that sells food

The tour guid can point out that

" this is the chicken shop"

"This is the rice shop"

" these are tables and chairs which with the right instruments such as knives forked and spoons and cup one can eat here and drink "

Chinese discovered the nation of the fake. China is the nation of the copy....

Yes it is ironic that it is the Chinese that are complaining about being scammed...

[petermik]

oh the poor sex tourists. Should have stayed in their rooms with a dirty magazine and a box of tissues.

But why the need for tissues? a "happy ending" doesn,t make you cry........................at least not me

[OMGImInPattaya]

these dregs of society need to be publicly humiliated, then sent to a facility that makes very little rocks from big rocks

Isn't that a little harsh for a group of tourists just trying to spice up their holiday? Having their picture up on the internet for seeking out a sex-show is probably humiliation enough.

I take it there are no sex guides in China? The story of the Chinese tour group in Chiang Mai loading their shopping bags with food from the hotel buffet table takes some beating. TAT loves the numbers game but Thai's just can't make any money out of Chinese .Trouble is the other foreigners are slowly wising up to the scams and staying away.

Lesson learned.....

In Thailand they frequently expect you to pay in advance, but no refunds.

Did the swindler pay back the money or not?

No. He was fined 500 baht for not returning the 2,000 baht.

Makes sense.

[abitmiffed]

Well he "did" take them to the place where these acts "are" performed didnt say anything about it being closed though..whats the problem? Didnt do anything wrong just leumed abit of info no crime.

[hellohello123]

Please oh please dont tell me his excuse was he refused to refund because he lost face when he got to the venue and it was closed..........

[hellohello123]

these dregs of society need to be publicly humiliated, then sent to a facility that makes very little rocks from big rocks

oh ok, so the next you take pay a barfine and she decides to run away, then you should be publicly humilated too!

geez, people visiting an area reknowned for sex tourism, wanting to see a sex show........who would have thought............

I agree, execute their families too

[balo]

They paid 2000 baht , a fortune , and was sure they would get a free sex show for the whole group. They would only watch the show and demand free water for everyone.

[risky11]

The tourists did nothing wrong. Their mistake was giving money upfront. The tout showed them the photos and asked "you wanna see this show?" Tourists said YES. Pay B2000 now. NO - we pay AFTER we arrive and take look around. Ooops, sorry - show is now closed. Okay, fine. We come back tomoLLow - bye.

The scammer should have HIS picture on the internet. The venues he was touting should be investigated and closed down. The tourists should get their money back PLUS B500 for their troubles. With a sincere wai and welcome to Thailand. If this happens again, just let us know. Service with a smile! Remember, it's LOS.

Precisely.

As tourism clients, the Chinese are famous for traveling in groups, and for

not being big spenders. In other words, they are the low end of mass tourism.

This does not mean they are bad people in any way - but it does mean that

they should not be seen as economic equivalents of individual travelers from

other countries who spend more per capita.

Most countries prefer fewer tourists who spend more, rather than more tourists

who spend less. There is a place for mass tourism, but it needs to be managed

very carefully, because it can destroy the value of an otherwise attractive destination.

One need only visit Majorca or Gran Canaria to see the results.

Pattaya has great potential as a cultural destination - and the authorites should be

working hard to organize film festivals and legit (!) events in the performing arts to

improve the brand of the city. Trying to re-brand the Las Vegas of the Sex Industry

into a family friendly Thai Disneyworld is a Quixotic folly doomed to failure, but the

Arts World has always been open minded and tolerant of the demi-monde.

Hopefully, the new Minister of Tourism and Sports will take nofe!
