The Anti-Human Trafficking Division made a series of arrests in the early hours of the 21st of January.

 

Working on a tip-off they went to Baan Yen Sabai, within Soi Daengdum Thepprasit where they knew that women were offering sexual services.

They witnessed a total of 16 women offering their services to passersby for 1500 baht, and after identifying themselves police arrested all the women and the owner of the premises.

They were all taken to the station where they were processed and fined 500 baht each before being released.

Meanwhile another team of officers detained more women selling sexual services from many other venues such as the Rak Jung bar in South Pattaya, the Ruu-Jai bar,the KK bar.

It seems unlikely that the fine of 500 baht will serve as much of a deterrent to these women, who can make that kind of money in a few moments.

    Carry on like that and they'll be no foriegn tourists. What do they think most tourists really come to Pattaya for? For the historic temples, to see 'real' Thailand and it's culture, the magnificent beach?? Don't bite the hand that feeds you and stop taking the 'fun' out of fun city.

    I used to work in Pattaya, a few years back, also come many time for holiday because I felt comfortable, but the crime the last 5 years has come to the point, I will never come back. the police should concentrate on the criminals, pick pockets, russians, africans and arabs.

    What? Sex trade in Pattaya?? Say it ain't so!!

    Those sure are smart cops, to know exactly where to look for these illegal sex workers. I know it can't be easy tracking them down, as they can be elusive. Its not like you can just walk into a bar and find naked women willing to have sex for money.

    Well done to the intrepid Thai police, for catching these terrible criminals, and also for the stern and deterring punishments administered. That'll teach 'em!
