Presumably they were arrested under the Thai equivalent of the Trades Description Act.  "Sex show" is a very loose description!

[GeorgeCross]

i'm assuming the thais pimping live sex shows were allowed to continue though?

[PatOngo]

Oh the shame! What impact will this have on the country's image?

[joepattaya1961]

"They have been charged with ‘causing nuisance and harassment to tourists."

So they haven't been charged for operating as illegal tour guides? 

Who came up with the classification "tour guide", they're just dead ordinary touts.

Usually tour guides guide tourists, touts usually mis-guide tourists......totally different

[BigDaddy66]

Good. Public porn pics right under your face even if you don't want them. It was a disgrace.

[maoro2013]

Most tuk tuks and baht buses have ads like this. Big deal, who are the losers?

[nakhonandy]

If they are not being charged with illegally working but "causing a nuisance etc" shouldn't the Thais doing the same also be arrested?

And assume the Live sex shows also continued.

[atyclb]

hmmm, while they're at it the IOC should test the ping pong show girls for performance enhancing steroids 

[brewsterbudgen]

Where does it say that only foreign touts were arrested?

[brewsterbudgen]

And assume the Live sex shows also continued.

Yes. But there is no live sex.

[Sphere]

Haven't they been charged with fraud yet?

 

Because everyone knows there are no live sex shows in Thailand, yes.

[Clamhua]

"They have been charged with ‘causing nuisance and harassment to tourists"

 

If that's the law, half of Thailand should be arrested

pretty sure that touting is a job reserved for thais. wonder why no work permit charge.

[lvr181]

The "international" touts were not forthcoming with brown envelopes maybe?

And if the Tourism Minister has her way, soon there will be no sex and no life either!

 

Mmmm........how did she arrive on earth? Stork bought her?

[brewsterbudgen]

Why the assumption that the Thai touts arrested are not being charged?

You don't know what you are talking about.  The photos are very explicit and they very aggressively shove the flyers right into one's face.  It has long been an outrageous nuisance.  There is nothing remotely similar on baht buses.

not aggressive at all. Just say no thanks politely. I have never stare at the dirty pics long enough to see how explicit they are- obviously you have given them a good ogle!

It depends where you go. You obviously don't know the the  club's as well as some of us do. There are many .Just as well I sense you would be shocked and want them close down.

[Khon Kaen Dave]

Worry not,dear readers.This dastardly carry on will stop after Walking street has been demolished.

Of course the question is,where will they go when its gone?

 

[paul18620]

nothing new always happens on Walking Street and it will continue to happen no matter how many tour guides they arrest in one swoop  

[gk10002000]

If they were Russians, check the work permits and visas, then boot them.  It really bothers me when walking down walking street and the Russian "ladies" are handing out fliers!  The reason it bothers me is because I know many hard working falangs that own businesses over there but can't pick up a broom and sweep their own restaurant floor without being prosecuted!

[Glumpy]

Only sixteen arrested !!

[Glumpy]

.......have just realized.... these are the touts that stand around next to the Tourist Police desks in Walking street !

[brewsterbudgen]

I was referring to the "live sex" shows on Walking Street, as touted by the loitering touts of this thread.
