American pimp arrested in northern Thailand was running Burmese sex ring on Facebook

 

Pictures (2): Daily News 

 

A 66 year old American man has been arrested in Chiang Rai after a sting operation found he was helping to run a human trafficking operation offering Burmese girls for sex.

 

Kenneth Albertson had put advertisements on Facebook and Craigslist. One of the sites was "Burmese Border Chicks For Hire".

 

Department of Special Investigation and Crime Suppression Division acting on a tip off conducted a sting.

 

 

"Ken" was met at Mae Fa Luang airport where he arrived in a Toyota car. Unsuspecting he then led investigators to the Piyaporn Place Hotel at the border in Mae Sai where a Burmese woman called Lawin Maew, 35, brought two Burmese women for sex.

 

When the man conducting the sting paid the agreed 3,000 baht for the women - aged 25 and 18 - the American and his accomplice and the sex workers were all arrested.

 

Albertson has been charged with human trafficking and will have his visa rescinded.

 

After the resolution of the human trafficking case he will be deported. He is considered a danger to Thailand.

 

Thai police are also contacting their counterparts in Myanmar to expand the inquiry to the associates of Lawin Maew.

Well done DSI & CSD. Throw this garbage back to where he came from.

[Lingba]

well he is also a danger to Thailand because he interferes with where the distribution of income should really be going

His visa rescinded? i hope that this will be the least of his problems.....

[George Bowman]

I wonder if this is the same Kenneth Albertson that often shares his opinion in the BKK Post?

No! He is a danger to Thailand, because he deals with human trafficking and that there is proof of that.
The only thing you are doing is making up a side story totally without proof, and putting the blame on things that are not included in the case or in the news.

It would have been better to state that this was another good work done to get rid of the garbage in Thailand.

Looks like one of our illustrious members as been up to no good.

[sceadugenga]

Let's not name him for now, I need to take advice on this.

[JLCrab]

Well OK but an analogy may be in order.

[wcoast]

I know of this man, actually... I have met him a few times through a mutual Thai friend. Went to see him in Mae Sai jail today but I just missed him being transferred to Chiang Rai. People have a right to their opinion, personally I'm surprised as is my Thai friend. Then again nothing much surprises me these days. I'm going to try offer him some assistance if I can.

Seems like it.

 

Funny how he was so critical of Thailand and the way things work here. But prostituting Burmese girls seems to be no problem in his books.

Innocent until proven guilty. Let’s wait and see. Chances are  that from the surface he looks like a bad guy doing wrong things but this is a place where you never can be sure of the facts.

If this is true there really is no fool like an old fool!

[JLCrab]

Well the guy used to often write about his day trips into Myanmar -- maybe that's why.

Foreign garbage, maybe?

Do some research in, for example, Craigslist.

Plenty on offer, even "guided" sextours into Birma, organised by a local group with local guides.

and he doesn't have working permit I guess.

[NextStationBangkok]

You idiot.

 

If sticks didn't sell well, could have sold carrots, not girls!

[connda]

They should put him in with the Russian sex instructors.  Peas in a pod methinks.

[hangdonger]

This name is certainly familiar - think a few people have mentioned him as a regualr BKK poster. He is in a world of shit

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Dont get between a hungry animal and its food...or you're likely to get attacked.

 

Everyone ought to know this kind of business is off limits for farangs -- not to nention being a crime.

[khunpa]

I dont know why we need to know he drives a Toyota. However, good they caught this guy. Should have chosen to stick with his "sticks"...

[holy cow cm]

He got caught and that is that. guy is creepy 

[tubby johnson]

For years he has sought fame and attention in the BKK Post. Now he's finally a star! 

 

Ken's prison moniker will be Pimp Daddy K.

[Easy Come Easy Go]

Why was I expecting to see some black dude wearing a fur coat 

[George Bowman]

From the FB site mentioned in the article.

Do you fish? 

 

Ever catch one? 

 

Ever catch a lot?

 

Ever catch them all?

 

because you can’t catch everyone is not an excuse to catch no one.

he was caught red handed, what more prove do you need?

[SpeakeasyThai]

A case of leave this crucial employment role to the locals.... or else.

[Bangkokfunny]

Thai don't want competition. 
Pimping is a reserved job for Thai only !!!
