About 30 transvestites loitering on Beach Road were rounded up, fined and released in the Pattaya police’s latest sweep of Pattaya Beach.
A regular occurrence, the raid saw police take the ladyboys accused of being prostitutes and petty thieves into Pattaya Police Station where they were fined a mere 100 baht and released, presumably to go back to their Beach Road perches.
Police Capt. Netithorn Rattanasuchanan said the transvestites target foreign tourists, annoying them with lewd propositions and pickpocketing many.
