HUA HIN: -- Eight women have been arrested for prostitution following a raid at a brothel in Hua Hin.

The raid, which took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning at a property located close to Hua Hin train station, resulted in the arrest of eight alleged sex workers, as well as a female clerk and a security guard.

The women arrested are all aged between 20-30 years old and come from Khon Kaen, Mae Hong Son, Ratchaburi, Surin and Ubon Ratchathani.

The Bangkok Post reports that the women told police they became prostitutes voluntarily because it was lucrative, earning more than 30,000 Baht each per month.

Customers were said to be charged 650 baht each, with each of the workers keeping 300 baht, with 350 baht going to the head of the operation.

Customers who stayed in the premises overnight were charged 3,500 baht.

Police also seized evidence detailing the payment of sexual services and founds used condoms at the premises.

The Bangkok Post also reports that the premises had been raided by the authorities on a previous occasion but no evidence was found to suggest that any illegal activities had taken place.

Arai wa? There is no sex in Thailand!!!

[TP1]

Your Honour, exhibit A.

A used condom.

I recommend the accused to be hanged by the neck until dead.

[EyesWideOpen]

650 baht? I KNEW that Thai men were getting a better deal !!!!!

Curious what the government is up to. 90% of the sex trade

in Thailand is for the benefit of Thai men, wonder if the government

is trying to sort of tamp it back to a dull roar. Will have to see if

they start raiding bars in Pattaya.........

I think the whole bar beer / sex trade business is dying, and

incidents like this are the first early indications of a change in

the wind.

An average of 3.3 humps a day assuming they work seven days a week. Probably keeps them busy for half an hour a day.

What's the difference between a brothel & massage parlour?? ..................nothing, they both end with a happy ending!

Surprised about Hua Hin.

They arrested the girls and not the owner of the club? OMG! Clients were using condoms! Condoms! They the police found condoms. Condoms! What criminals could be so devious as to use a condom

Chant to the tune of the Wizard of OZ's Lions, Tigers and Bears oh My: Police, condoms, hookers, oh my! Police, condoms, hookers, oh my! Police, condoms, hookers, oh my! Police, condoms, hookers, oh my! What a load of rubbish... Condoms? I suggest that we squeeze a rather small one around the brains of the police who made the arrests, or the journalists that made this a story.

[lovinglife]

They painted the wall since I was last there.

[OOLEEBER]

Reading between the lines it looks like this was an army bust and the aforementioned raid that found no evidence could have been one carried out by the cops. Hmmnnn.

[ronthai]

Wonder how many off duty cops have visited the brothel before?

better deal? 690 Baht is 230 Baht per minute....very expensive

No they have investigated......

Do all make sex.

Always

What day per week who is there

does everyone charge the same price

etc etc

That is a difficult undercover operation which needs many officer many time to work hard under the cover.

[Muirton]

The brothel across the road must be happy with what their tea money got them from the police.

[stephenterry]

From the picture, it seems like one of the girls at the food table has already lined up her next customer. It would make a great caption comp.

[Lupatria]

Eight women have been arrested for prostitution...

If they'd do this in BangCock it would drastically reduce the population.

[jmccarty]

I guess they can never be too prepared.

Looks like two seperate branches of the military or comando types plus a plain clothes under-cover operator were needed for this high profile bust!

Hippocrates or hypocrites?

Looks like a "double up" to me ... LOL

Don't think Thai people would agree with this statement. Don't forget the vast majority of commercial sex transactions take place between Thais, plus women from some countries in the neighborhood. Police might put up the occasional show, but try to wean Germans off drinking beer, if you get my drift.

[ttthailand]

Wow... 30,000 a month at 300 each time is 100 guys a month, 1,200 guys a year.

The hot Pattaya bargirls might not all do those numbers but I would bet some do. That's a lot of men to be with. I would bet some end up working in Pattaya and marrying farangs.

They painted the wall since I was last there.

No, they wallpapered it !

[jollyhangmon]

650 baht? I KNEW that Thai men were getting a better deal !!!!!

...

... charged not only by the minute but also by dongle-lenght, standard practice.

That's what forces me to negotiate flatrates ...

[fred Kubasa]

Why " off duty " ? It is their sworn duty to visit and cleanup this scurrilous business !

Some sort of change is definitely coming. Easy targets first though eh? The trade needs better regulation and cleaner fronts (if possible) ... it can never be stopped . . .

100 guys a month??

Don't forget the drink commission and if they dance there are tips too.
