webfact Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 'Undesirables' rounded-up by Police on Pattaya BeachPATTAYA: -- On Monday Night, Pattaya Police conducted one of their sweeps of Pattaya Beach, in search of those considered as “undesirable”.The operation began at 7pm and began at the Dusit curve at the Northern end of Pattaya Beach and finished at the entrance to Walking Street at the Southern end of Pattaya Beach Road.A total of 50 individuals aged between 18 and 45 were detained and taken to Pattaya Police Station. The group consisted of Ladyboy’s, females suspected of engaging in prostitution and a small number of Thai males who were considered to be loitering with intent to commit crime.Each detainee was fined the sum of 100 Baht and then sent on their way, presumably to carry on with whatever they were doing before they were picked-up by Police.Full story: http://pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/179320/undesirables-rounded-up-by-police-on-pattaya-beach/-- Pattaya One 2015-03-31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kekalot Posted March 30, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2015 could have at least pee tested them to see how undesirable they actually were yeah, blood tests and everything but seriously, 100 baht? I reckon they wouldn't prevent them from being undesirable even if they charged them 1000 baht I'd be like 100 baht first time, 1000 second time, 2000 third time, fourth time some jail time or make them fight professional muay thai fighters or something. they could sell some tickets to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Policing 101. Do a round up and fine those detained a massive Bt. 100 for being ' undesirables '. Who decides what an undesirable is other then the BIB at the time ? Will the PM be giving out ' rewards ' for another excellent piece of police work ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay1980 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 If they really wanted to clear the hookers from beach road, they should start arresting their customers. If potential customers were made aware looking for a cheap thrill at the coconut bar could lead to arrest, a few hours at the police station and the possibility of their face being shown in a news story on the internet, there would be less demand. If there was less demand there would be less supply. Of course this will never happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pii Kate Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 These people simply are not proactive, are they? Always "react" after the lights are turned on. What they don't need is more officers. They need Western or S. Korean trained technicians and pilots who will be supervised on a regular basis by these same folk. Thais teaching Thais is a formula for failure.

Popular Post KittenKong Posted March 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2015 Who decides what an undesirable is other then the BIB at the time ? The undesirables are the ones who dont have a customer. The desirables are already tucked up in bed somewhere. I've seen what many of the undesirables look like and I think the police are doing a great service by removing them from public view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pii Kate Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Amazing. Undesirables are Thai. That's a first and it's about time. Ripping off people, taking their cash, passports, in general, exploiting tourists does not bring money into the country. I'm surprised it took them so long to figure that out.

If there was less demand there would be less supply. Of course this will never happen. Actually not. If there was less demand, the prices would fall. Basic economics, supply and demand cost curve. And when the prices fall, the demand would pick up again (only more covertly). Naturally, if the prices fall too low, then the supply would decrease (as it wouldn't be worthwhile to offer a cheap thrill for satangs) and if the demand stays constant the prices would rise again. Oh, what fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggusoil Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 How to suspect someone of doing something before they've done it? Thought police? Then fine them for looking as if they 'might' do something in the future. What sort of law is this? What sort of reasoning? What law is there against being a lady boy? We don't like the look of you. 100baht. Governments and their agencies are sometimes so out of touch with reality, it is hard to believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
