Thatsanai tried to put a brave face on the evening - saying he would be back again and again if necessary.  Well...Sounds to me like a threat of harassment...

Esso station sukhumvit road ?

If it was a proper farce they would have caught Brian Rix with his trousers round his ankles.

Yes, yes and yes again. I have seen all the temples. On my next visit I will hang around gas-stations along Sukhumvit to find out what's on offer outside of gas and lubricants.
I can see myself as a "trail-blazer", as far as new tourist-attractions are concerned.
Cheers.

Stand out front for 10 minutes waving a flag on a stick. Once you have collected a few followers go for a walk around.

Report back here and let us know how it went.

It's just a joke; part of the hazing culture.  You give the Newbie some serious information about law-breaking. You let him get a team together.  Just before he sets out you phone up the establishment and tell them it's early closing night.

A few red faces but all part of Pattaya's determination not to cut off the influx of brown envelopes.

The raid - led by a newbie at the job and military man Thatsanai Prathumthong

NGO informants need to up their game ...

This 'area' has been a well kept secret for quite a while, the fact that even most of the walking street mongers don't know about it means they are very discreet, no loud music, no obvious activities, driving past the Esso station at night and you'd hardly suspect anything amiss going on

  Why kill the goose that lays golden eggs?

You mean men go to Pattaya for sex?!?!!?.....I'm sure this is a misunderstanding that can be clarified quickly!

What's the PROBLEM? (Everybody needs LOVE)!!

Quite right too .. We thought we were visiting a world class resort packed with quality tourists .. Imagine then our surprise after arrival to discover that it was indeed a seething pot of fornication and iniquity about which the Thai tourist people never uttered a word to us .. going to the beach didn't cheer us either as it looked like a toilet which as we later found out was in fact what the locals were using it for ..

Wanting to cross the beach road because the promenade ahead was blocked by lots of Chinese we used the designated pedestrian crossing near I believe the Police station only to escape with life and limb when a bloody great coach failed to stop even though the lights were red though I understand that bus brake failure here is quite common so maybe that was the case .. C'mon tourist office thailand Pattaya needs to clarify it's position .. Is it modern day Soddom & Gomorrah for sex'rists or is it a quality destination for world class tourists

WOW,that will earn someone big Envelope for tipping them off.I think all mobile phones of those involved in the raid should be examined in order to find out who the culprit is.

Raids must be on unknown location for all the raiding party except 2 or 3 high ranked officers.Last minute move will surprise everyone.?

" Raids must be on unknown location for all the raiding party except 2 or 3 high ranked officers. Last minute move will surprise everyone. "

 

Interesting idea but it does presuppose that one ( or more ) of the 2 or 3 high rankers wouldn't be putting the call in themselves .. ✌

I seriously doubt most of the tourists that come to Thailand are Johns looking to shag hookers.  Yeah, there's a lot of these types, but Can't imagine they make up the majority in terms of tourist numbers.  I think that is just a view held by sex-tourists and sex-pats who seem to think that every other Western male in Thailand is the same as them.  They cant seem to get their head around the fact that there are actually people that don't like the idea of going with a hooker. 

Hahaha yea there are folk out there who recoil at the idea of co-joining with a hooker but that don't stop a few from having the odd dip .. just to reinforce their original objections you understand .. ?

Let's be fair and frank....

 

Prostitution with women selling their bodies has existed through history, through antiquity the middle ages and so on....nobody can change this and no amount of regulation will change the issue.

Ironically, the best way to improve the situation is to fully legalize it and regulate it with health checks, taxes, licenses, etc. This way most of the customers can go to places where both parties are treated with respect.

 

Will it ever be perfect with noone being exploited and noone underage? Nope, but still better to legalize

OH dear no one at home that night then. So they will have to stop more motor bikes at the Dolphin roundabout now then to get there monthly extra pay.

These police raids are very informative. They are a brilliant guide to vice life in Pattaya. They have drawn my attention to many places I would not have known about. I'll be check I g this place out soon.

As in Germany, New Zealand, Turkey and countless other places? You are right.

I'm not in favor of busting places where girls are trying to make a few bucks.  

Yet, on the topic of Thai police:  They are among the worst in the world when it comes to keeping a raid secret.

 

I've been watching FBI chronicles on the internet.  Each time they show a group of FBI conducting a raid, I grin and say to myself; "That would be impossible in Thailand. The bad guys would know of police' plans before the cop cars were cranked up."

Same with illegal drugs.  

When will Thai leaders get a bit of wisdom?  ......25 years?  ...... 85 years?    ......ever?

Easy answer yes.  The majority of foreign losers come here for two things booze and bar girls nothing more.

What is a "foreign loser"? I came here for the booze and bar girls, stayed for 30 years and eventually left quite well off having held a job with a relatively good salary for all that time. (This is not meant to be a rude post, btw. More chummy argumentative. Have fun.)

Soi Nakata is not for foreigners but for locals. Sexpats never knew about this place till now. 

 

Some could have been living in pattaya for years but never knew about this place. 

 

Prices are much lower than walking street, local prices. If u go there u will know you are being fleeced at pattaya main gogobars and massage.

How do I know? Hehehehe

I think "ever" is being a bit optimistic
