Nana - haven for foreign mafia doesn't look like Thailand any more

[Islam Ghonemi]

As you see my name i was one of the accused with the lies about that case and i have evidence from the Thai news but I don't know how to upload photos here

[OJAS]

Nana is where the post office once used by the British Embassy to cash money orders is located, as I recall.

 

This thread might therefore go some way towards explaining why the Embassy abruptly stopped accepting money orders as a means of paying for income confirmation letters, etc!

O.K. I agree, kick the Nigerian scammers out, the Russian mobsters, the drug dealers, as well as the Russian and African prostitutes......

 

But please leave the Middle Eastern restaurateurs around Soi 3 alone. Their kitchens are absolutely spotlessly clean, the chefs dressed in clean white uniforms, and the food is delicious. No doubt they all have the required licenses too. When I'm in Bangkok, I eat every meal in that area.

Instead of pissing around with street food vendors the authorities should be tackling real crime. Clear the streets of food but let the pimps and drug pushers carry on regardless.

Who is fooling who?!... farang crap fooling Thai crap...

[Islam Ghonemi]

Those Syrian Gang involved and runs all illegal biz at nana area ( drugs , scaming , copy brands , fake proteins , credit card scaming, human trafficking,... ) , they setup this case after the last raid for human trafficking at nana to shut down everyone who helps police to knows about them.

How dare they come here and not spend money!  Deport them, immediately!

So you are writing about another article but with no real information,

why even write an article that ends up with more questions than answers!

I am shocked - shocked! Round up the usual suspects.

Hope, these guys had a good time before talking to the press.

 

Love the inscription! Did they choose that background on purpose, as in "We are the ..."?

Human meat trafficking?

[mstevens]

Foreign mafia indeed.  Soi Nana is a seedy cesspit that is the very worst of Thailand.  The Nana Plaza complex is owned by an Englishman who made his money in boiler rooms.  Andrew Drummond has written many articles all about him and foreign mafia that control Soi Nana.

[MaiChai]

Ah yes. Another day in paradise? Money talks and oils the wheels. Lets just say rules can be bent with a bit of money. So where is the surprise? The area has always been a magnet for foreigners, and if you want to experience real Thailand there is plenty of other places to go. Must admit the area is not my cup of tea and not a place I have visited in a long time. Suppose it caters for all those millions of tourists Thailand wants?

Last time I was in the area the pavements were totally blocked by locals trying to scratch a living selling junk to tourists and scrounging... and what nationality are these corrupt authorities? Anyhow, I shall stay further up Sukhumvit when I visit next.

 

Shame, have fond memories from that area in early 1980s.

What ius so confusing, many do that on a daily basis , everyone knows that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steven100]

Nana is a cesspit of drunken farang.  You only have to walk past any place down that soi and see it for yourself.

[TechnikaIII]

This sentence leaves out an important word. It is printed as this:

"They cited largely unspecified information that bribes of 30,000 baht were being demanded from illegal people to trade in the area. Some were involved in human trafficking and trades like selling meat, they said."

Whereas it should read:

"They cited largely unspecified information that bribes of 30,000 baht were being demanded from illegal people to trade in the area. Some were involved in human trafficking and trades like selling street meat, they said."

Time for Google translate ! 

Not Really! I'll translate! The RTP, the men in brown shirts, take money from from foreigners to open and operate businesses on Soi Nana! The brown envelopes are picked up by the RTP, the men in brown shorts, on a weekly basis.The money goes to the local RTP bosses to be distributed among the ranks as bonuses. Now that's a pretty good google translation. Amazing Thailand.

those that operate nana, soi cowboy and patpong are very high up police and generals, that is why nothing is ever done about those areas.

 

There was once when a friend was waiting for a taxi on Soi 4, a guard saw her waiting across the street, as a taxi pass by, the guard waved down the taxi and ask her to come over and take it from opposite the street, the friend thought the guard was being nice. The guard then ask my friend where she is going, then proceeded to open the door for her and tell the taxi, my friend sense something was not right, told the guard, no meter no go in Thai. The guard laughed, closed the door and my friend walked away.  It seems like a lot of the guards on that street also prey on foreigners and tourists, trying to make any money they can.

 

If they can remove the red light district there, IF, the value of that area would increase and probably be as expensive as ploenchit and langsuan road. It would be a great place.
