50 Pattaya Beach Prostitutes arrested by Pattaya Police



PATTAYA: -- In an ongoing effort by Police to improve the image of Pattaya, especially to foreign tourists, 50 Women and Ladyboys suspected of being prostitutes were rounded up on Pattaya Beach in the early hours of Thursday.

The officers, assisted by Pattaya Police Volunteers, began at the Northern end of Pattaya Beach and made a clean sweep of the entire promenade until they arrived at the start of Walking Street. At this point they had truckloads of detainees who were taken to Pattaya Police Station.

Lol - one woman (?) gives the finger to the photographer and they blur out just the finger in the image.

[Mango Bob]

Great job. Get the girls/boys off the streets and back into the bars.

[AbhiramaDas]

This is incredible bullshit. If they really think that for improving the image of Pattaya they need to round up prositutes, then they should do it not only in the beach but in the Walking street and other bars too. But they stopped just before the start of the Walking Street. That's what the article says very clearly. To me it speaks that they are not fighting with the prostitutes but with the freelancers. This I call corruption and this is why I have no respect to police.

This is just supporting bars, so they get more barfines. Police should arrest drugdealers instead but then they lose income I guess. every single day I am offered drugs on the beach. They do nothing. And ladies are stupid too. They are not breaking any law by standing on the beach. It is incredible hypocricy here in thailand...

And I really don't understand how one improves the image of the Capital of Prostitution by rounding up prostitutes. If they really stop the prostitution here one day, then they stop the bars and hotels and restaurants and schools and everything. Then they can bring the fishing nets out again...

If you were a bar owner, how many of them would you be prepared to employ ? They mightnt all be thieves and rogues, but they're not the cream of the crop either.

[BoneRanger]

Good old Pattaya One News.

Broadcasting these people faces worldwide. These desperate people need that crap?

The girl flipping the finger to the cameraman says it all.

That's 50,000 baht to someone pocket, the police station has a revolving door policy, in and out,

pay the 1,000 baht fine and away you go and see you soon....

[jacko45k]

So the idea to promote the image of Pattaya to foreign tourists is to publicise the fact that there are a lot of prostitutes hanging around on the beach.

That'll work!

What you say is totally true but everyone expects prostitutes to be working in the bars. For regular tourists the line up of prostitutes along Beach Rd gives a very bad impression. When I stayed in South Pattaya I liked to walk along the beach after dinner but not any more. I stay in Jomtien now which is far more comfortable for me. The Walking Street is one big bar area; I noticed some good restaurants there have disappeared,

I was wondering about the below sentence. What are they fining them for, if there is no crime?

<Police powers are limited unless evidence is available to confirm any of the detainees have committed a crime>

on the contrary, i see it as publicity for Pataya. For me it is part of the attraction. Unless you are a Mormon...and, as pointed out in a previous thread, how police can proof they are prostitutes? As also stated previously, the round up will please the bar owners.

50 x 100 baht = 5000 baht.

Because bars pay taxes , fees, donations and build police boxes .

Beach girls pay nothing

[TheFishman1]

Wow more tea money lol This is Thailand

[maidee]

what about making a photobook of all the thieving ladyboys for once ?

[WitawatWatawit]

Seeing the frenzied line of coppers and their volunteer toadies sweeping lines of desperate painted ladies along the promenade towards Walking Street, accompanied probably by lots of shouting and jostling - well, this could be Pattaya's answer to Pamplona - the running of the whores - excellent tourist attraction.

[bunuel]

Please - as a long time resident , I would like to propose a change in terminology to help improve the image

of poor Pattaya. The young ladies one sees in the afternoon and evening should not be called "prostitutes";

rather, in keeping with the good general's campaign to bring happiness back to LOS, why not call them

Beach Hostesses???

[bangon04]

Some of the Ladyboys must have season tickets by now. They get rounded up every time someone needs a photo op.

Can someone tell me why 50 seems to be the magic number?

[scubascuba3]

I guess the gogos and bars might have complained. Freelancers are a serious threat to their business

What would even be more fun is to rent tazers to the tourists that walk the beach, then zap the aggressive pickpocketing ladyboys.

[ToddinChonburi]

Poor girls are just trying to make a living.

5,000 baht, the fine is 100 baht.

[BoneRanger]

Wait a minute. How can this be happening?

November 21st, According to Chief & Deputy Provincial Commander, Police Colonel Supattee, Officers dressed in orange shirts and caps will patrol the Pattaya Beach area 24 hours a day.

"they should do it not only in the beach but in the Walking street and other bars too."

The point here is that the girls soliciting on the streets are committing an offence, the girls dancing in bars are not. What the go-go dancers do after they leave the bar they work in is up to them, it's not the responsibility of the bar owners.

"They are not breaking any law by standing on the beach."

They are, soliciting and loitering are offences.

What is hanging around under the trees on beach road, a serious threat to gogo's? I suggest you take a read of the cheapest eyeglasses thread.

[Lupatria]

I thought it was obvious, read the numerous threads about beach road.
