Pattaya Immigration arrest 23 illegal workers at Karaoke Bar



PATTAYA: -- In the early hours of Tuesday, Immigration Officers based in Pattaya, conducted an undercover operation at a Karaoke Bar in Sriracha District which was alleged to be employing foreign workers who were not in possession of work permits.

A raid of the Chai Isara Karaoke Bar took place after two officers, posing as customers, went inside, and determined that the bar was staffed only by illegal foreign nationals.

Immigration Officers detained a total of 23 illegal foreign workers, consisting of 10 Vietnamese females and 13 females from the Democratic Republic of Laos. All possessed passports but did not have visas which permitted them to seek employment in Thailand.

Do they issue work permits to be a prostitute?

[Crazy chef 1]

no this is a profession restricted to Thai nationals only...

[ezzra]

Why do I always find out about these things, AFTER the have been discovered?

[alant]

shocked at the suggestions they may be prostitutes, but I understand they were particularly bad singers.

[LotusBoy]

Ohhhh deary deary, someone did not pay the tea money this month. Got to love the photos, the girl on her phone texting "ehhhh at the bobby station just now singing a few songs"

I've been told that they were using microphones in a strange way... and that the microphones didn't seem genuine at all by the way!

[Emster23]

Maybe they can go do some karaoke for air men, or sing some songs for police using those fancy new mics they got the other day for 145,000 baht. That might get them off, or at least get somebody off.

[bushwacker]

One way to get rid of your competition. That has got to be a major set back to the business plan.

[Mudlover]

Once again, an elaborate undercover sting operation to round up a ring of hardened criminals. The streets of Pattaya will be safer with the deportation of these evil wrong-doers.

[petercool]

Crude post removed

8) You will not post disruptive or inflammatory messages, vulgarities, obscenities or profanities.

[janpharma]

"Mistake"...Thailand legaly doesn't have "prostitution"...

[Benmart]

Break the law. Pay the penalty if caught.

The rhetoric from those who have no stake in the issue changes nothing, except perhaps, the length of their post.

[SOTIRIOS]

..........as for the owners that hired them.................???

Sri Racha is along way from the streets of Pattaya.

How did Vietnamese girls converse with the customers ?

[Stokakrishna]

what about Russian hookers?? are they legal??

[Basil B]

For those who question whether these ladies could get a work permit as a prostitute the answer would almost certainly be no...

But then no bar, club, karaoke, etc, would ever employ them (on paper) as a prostitute, job titles would be: hostess, waitress, dancer, singer, etc.

[bkkjames]

How did Vietnamese girls converse with the customers ?

orally.

[wileycoyote]

"Show them the way to go home"

[balo]

Why do we always come to the conclusion these girls are prostitutes? They were working illegally inside a karaoke bar. And stealing thai jobs.

[Runamile]

But they were only there having a drink.

[khunjamesjohnson]

Those poor girls are probably starving now and being bused back into extreme poverty all because someone didn't pay a high enough bribe.

My friend has a restaurant with a nice reliable Cambodian waitress.

Immigration sends someone in and demands 3,000bt a month or else.

She had to quit and now he goes thru a different new Thai waitress every month.

[jmccarty]

The one in red still has both of her telephones!

Some of them don't like the going thru business from the boss!

How did Vietnamese girls converse with the customers ?

in english for a change...( and i don't mean the local custumers)

[smotherb]

Do they issue work permits to be a prostitute?

Tsk, tsk, to get a work permit, you need to do work a Thai cannot do.

[lee b]

[OZEMADE]

"Mistake"...Thailand legaly doesn't have "prostitution"...
