By webfact , June 26, in Pattaya News. If prostitution is illegal in Thailand and he wants to protect tourists from getting robbed, the bars and gogos will soon be empty, hotels will soon not allow overnighters. Excellent idea The businesses which offer prostitutes could more easily be taxed. Once the businesses are registered, the prostitutes could be required to be licensed and undergo health checks to be certified STD-free. However, the johns would still have to make sure the licenses and health certificates were up to date--that is, if they can still read after the drinking, and their other head hasn't taken over better judgement.
You got pretty close to the heart of the matter. Why are they not arresting "prostitutes" in the bars? Because the bars pay money to the police? Because they have licenses?
So, they are essentially legal pimps, right? They are focusing on the "civilians" on walking street or the boardwalk. They are sort of helpless. They have no one to stand up for them. It is a false show of something.
Who knows what? It means nothing, to anybody, except the poor girls getting harassed. Soliciting in public, particularly if done "promiscuously" is illegal. Dancing or working in bars where barfines are payable is not illegal. Paying a consenting adult for sexual favours in private is very unlikely to be committing any offence. Good on em'. But how is this possible? It was always illegal and there was a "fact finding mission" a while ago and they found there was no prostitution??!
Bangle Rd, Phuket? Wheres that then?? I thought I'd been to most of the places Phuket has to offer,.. That would be better if they got shut of all the Touts for Ping Pong shows, Russian Girl dance shows, and other Hawkers Constant mither and having to dodge these cretins to go about your business Hookers can line up the edge of the rd anytime, at least they are not in your bloody way! Asking tea money to keep them out of jail makes more benefit to the people who are actually arresting them and need a day of paperwork.
