Bad journalism!

All reports should be accompanied by links so that the information can be verified.

If they think line is bad,try beetalk. 50% of the profiles are clearly bargirls advertising something on the side. Even includes a gps locator!

[chuang]

Age 25-26 are they still students

[Robbie Dye]

Switch to Whatsapp... Encrypted now!

[reggaebkk]

This is outrageous!

the price I mean... 8000 Baht a head...

[rayw]

Students do this in the UK, nowt to be ashamed of, especially not here in the land of gash for cash.

This is just the tip of the iceberg and it is something to be ashamed of. How can it ever be acceptable that students are becoming prostitutes to pay for their education? And what about the people that are pimping them out under the guise as an agency? These girls are suppose to be attending university to earn degrees for their future careers and then working their way up to success, otherwise if they prefer to earn money by laying on their backs, then what`s the point of attending University? They may just as well graduate from school and go straight into the bars or become escorts.

Sorry, but this can never be acceptable.

So you are advocating that high level education for a better career should only be available for those from wealthy and elite families who can afford it hmm ?? That is unacceptable my friend and why ALL education in ALL countries should be state run and for vocational education supplied totally free for all based ONLY on each student's ability and their willingness to put in the effort learn. With the current system here, and in the US, UK and many western countries too, you are restricting the much needed and fair striving for social mobility and giving little or no opportunity to those not from the privileged and elite families. That in my considered opinion is unacceptable, immoral and completely unfair, irrespective of any political doctrines.

Of course those girls do not want a life as a bar girl and are trying to better themselves so if they can only afford to do so by selling sex (which they may even enjoy as quite a few I am sure do) then all credit to them IMHO. Time prostitution was fully legalised between consenting adults but the pimps and crap a'holes who steal form these girls should be aggressively arrested and locked up for a long time. If prostitution was properly and sensibly legalised then you would probably not need these protectionist pimps and other associated leeching low life.

If anyone here could actually read, the girls weren't charging 8000b, the police were promising 8000b.

If you put an offer of 8000 baht on your LINE account i guess you'll get plenty reply's.

[Tanlic]

I am shocked that any of those innocent young Thai students would do duch a thing....steps should be taken by publishing all their phone numbers to prevent us accidentally calling a few of them and they should be forced to drop their prices immediately

Students doing the same in Oz......

I'd be interested to know under which article of Law they will be prosecuted.

"selling sex" isn't in itself an offense as far as I know, maybe using the internet to do so or to advertise is a crime under computer law or the fact that they were part of an organized network will be held against them.

Maybe advertising the service in LINE is considered lewd under the Law.

I'd be interested to know more about the exact charges.

Soliciting is illegal.

only when done in a "promiscuous manner indisposing the public"

I'd be interested to know which article of Law they are charged with breaching.

I hear business is slow there ...

Funny the laws are selectively enforced !!!

" the laws are selectively enforced !!!" That's the strange thing.

[dopenhagen]

That's what happens when you try and compete with the soapies owned by the senior bib's...

[Wuvu2]

I don't believe this story and won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

Please forward that LINE ID immediately.

[bodycrab]

How will these poor girls pay their fines?

[JeffreyO]

The arresting cops were obviously appalled as none of them have ever paid for it ever.

Sorry but not everybody out there pays for these "services".

Computer crimes act. Give the cops freebies for a month or two case closed.

Funny how the laws are selectively enforced !!!

Funny how bars in Nana Plaza aren't advertising sex for sale.

What's the menu and bar fine for then?

[gandalf12]

You were only arrested ladies because you weren't selling yourselves at a karaoke/ a go go/massage parlor that the cops take a kick back from. You can't just go and freelance like that now

you need an independent contractors license for that

[docshock13]

Why didn't cops go after the pimping service that promotes/exploits these young women????

[dhream]

"A poster on the Thai news site announcing the arrests said sarcastically: "You weren't shy when you were showing your body on Line, why are you bowing your heads now?"

Lets' hope the author of this spite filled nasty vicious comment is cleaner than Sweet F'n Jesus.

These coppers should be doing their jobs on the blood soaked roads, not bothering with sex for sale, and here, of all places, where it's 'illegal', heaven help this place, heaven help it.

[dhream]

Shit is just beyond the pale here, I just shake my head in bewilderment, it's not just us, most locals I know can see this is absurd, why can't the coppers?

[atyclb]

are they actual uni students or is that a rouse to get sympathy and more money?? 24-25 is not abnormal for schools like ramkamhaeng undergrad. they may have financial problems and or academic problems progressing to graduation.

the wechat mobile app is really like an online brothel. a high% selling. getting very boring on wechat. also see many selling on popular dating sites

[dhream]

Anyone have a username for the lass on the right?

"Convictgirl 1" as of today, sadly for everyone involved.

Never could figure out why the Buddhist calendar is like 5 and a half centuries ahead of us while the culture is 2 centuries behind.

Government BUTT T.F. OUT of people's private lives!

[Shawn0001]

I'm confused, I thought only soliciting was illegal whereas offering services was legal?

[jspill]

What's the menu and bar fine for then?

To compensate the bar for a waitress or dancer not being there working.

[ScotBkk]

Students do this in the UK, nowt to be ashamed of, especially not here in the land of gash rfor cash.

Prove it !!!!!

He don't need to Jock, google it, the girls themselves are writing about it.

Which is offering money for sex, the girls are offering sex for money, that ain't soliciting and that ain't a crime in Thailand as far as I know, but I could be wrong.

Home delivery service, clever thinking!

I'm confused by this as well, could be "causing a public nuisance", that seems to be the favorite catch-all charge at the moment.
