Those found in brothel 'Bribery List' say they know nothing

An official talks to some of the staff at Nataree Entertainment during the Tuesday raid.

BANGKOK — Individuals whose nicknames and phone numbers were found in an alleged bribery ledger during a raid on a large brothel where underage girls were rescued from said they had nothing to do with the illicit business.

Some of them said they weren’t even aware that their names were in the booklet kept by the manager of Nataree Entertainment, where at least nine minors were found among more than 120 sex workers. The ledger purported to keep track of bribes the brothel pays to law enforcement officers each month.

Once again, the police appear to be leaking critical information about an investigation in progress. And the media has no problem divulging it.

Police reform? In my lifetime?

Exactly what i was thinking.

LOL Yep. Everyone knows "nothing"

"Some of them said they weren’t even aware that their names were in the booklet kept by the manager ..."

Must have really upset them. Especially after they paid extra for the manager to keep everything on the down low. Geez...If you can't trust a pimp of underage girls, who can you trust?

I might have missed it but was there any mention of customers at the time of the raid?

Rather bad timing if they get charged with something especially if they happened to be married.

Not even if you were -30 years old. Too bad the "PM" has spent all his energies on the all important lottery reform!

How much do these places charge for a soapy?

Time for the Long Involved Explanatory Stories to start flowing.

It's time for the sucker squad to step in !!!!

Why didn't I find this place? Too late now. What really is Thailand without brothels? Like closing all the theatres in London, or all the ski resorts in Austria.

The manager just happened to be lucky enough to know the names and phone numbers of these crooks and put it on his bribery list.

Can anyone here guess my full name and phone number?

Ok.
When does Nataree open again?

You are spot on. It is the media's fault. That is why they are having the corruption seminar at Don Mueang and invited all the media people so they can tell them not to report corruption. It is a silky form of re-education.

So I take it all the nicknames on the list were police ! shock,horror,

Some of them said they weren’t even aware that their names were in the booklet.....

What a lame objection.

Who would expect that the person recording their names would also extend them the courtesy of notifying them of their names and bribe amounts being recorded?

Duh!

Sometimes the "logic" of these statements is underwhelming.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if these cops "had nothing to do with this illicit business," then how is it that the proprietor knew all of their names?

What is wrong with you? You moan and bitch about police reform, the RTA leads a raid on a well known brothel exposing corrupt police, and all you want to talk about is trivia (according to you). There is a lot more corruption being rooted out under the junta even if you prefer to deny it.

I would point out that raids and crackdowns are not reforms.

Can you name one systemic change in the RTP that is a reform?

According to your definition. Mine is causing change for the better, and exposing corrupt BIB, and causing others trepidation that their corruption could be exposed next, is reform.

I would say your definition is a distortion of the word. I've got no problem with more vigorous even handed law enforcement. My issue is with sustaining it when leadership changes. That is where Thailand falls down

re-forming

1.

make changes in (something, typically a social, political, or economic institution or practice) in order to improve it.

I have to agree though, that when a Thaksinist government is installed, as you have said is inevitable, any leash on his attack dogs will immediately be released. And yes, it will be the downfall of Thailand.

you beat me too it. i even had a tab open for youtube.

i hope my girlfriend is ok. i had better text her.

This is really going to hurt Thailand's reputation. Prostitution is ilegal in Thailand and for years they have denied it's existence in the land. Their human trafficking reputation may take another hit also.

Don't worry there are plenty left. The ones closed are chosen by very strict criteria.
