Pattaya will eradicate all prostitution.

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Published: 11 Sep 2012

Chuvit Kamolvisit, the leader of Rak Thailand Party, was sentenced to five years in jail without suspension by the Appeals Court on Tuesday, overriding the lower court's decision acquitting him in the 2003 Sukhumvit Square beer bar demolition case.

In this case, Mr Chuvit and his associates were accused of intruding into and damaging other people's property at night, and also forcefully detaining another person on Jan 26, 2003.

The owners of 135 retail shops in the six-rai Sukhumvit Square beer bar compound on the corner of Sukhumvit Soi 10 which was demolished that night, filed a complaint against Mr Chuvit and his associates. The prosecution filed suit on March 13, 2003. All pleaded not guilty.

i dont understand ur point. the place was totaled /wiped out cause he wanted the land back to sell or use for other purposes.
Nothing to do that he owns massage parlors as well.

PLUS i don think farangs will go hang out at a massage parlor an drink beer,
massage parlors are places you go to get laid under the pretense of having a massage

Ever been to Pechaburi road? not many farangs hang out there.

Over the years since so many malls have gone in and hundreds of condos ( north Pattaya an Jomtien are stating to look like Miami beach) the whole eastern seaboard is appealing to Thais more so than the sex pats.
go on any weekend to Jomtien an u will find hundreds of thais with an without families eating on the beach and the streets are full of Bangkok cars.
I'd say the distinction between Jomtien and Pattaya has always been the same, re Thais and the beach. The main reasons are that Jomtien actually has something you could just about call a beach which Pattaya doesn't especially now due to erosion, you can't park your cars on Pattaya beach road which you can in Jomtien, and yes there has never been the seedy side on full display along Jomtien beach road unlike Pattaya. Overall it's less a nightlife area and more a beach location. At night the Russians who populate Jomtien beach in increasing numbers flow up and over the hill on baht buses to enjoy the Central mall or the Pattaya nightlife.

The main local entertainment area for us Jomtien guys is a relatively new beer bar complex built on the new second road across beside the little fruit/veg market. I think it works well, it's laid back, at night the market turns into an open air eating area, the girls can munch the grub with their mates while we talk shit and it's not in your face to less inclined tourists. No need to clampdown on anything like that, it can peacefully coexist in the right location so all markets are served. I really only go to 3 bars in central Pattaya and 2 are on beach road, get a seat at the front, look out at the sea and watch the circus parade by, nothing better for me. They will disappear on Pattaya beach road but not because of any sleaze clampdown but purely what you highlight - prime real estate development as has gradually happened in the last 5 years. Also make the full length of beach road pedestrian up to 2am or build a tram system and the improvement would be a massive attraction I believe.

I don't agree with the poster that said beer bar customers will become massage customers by default is wrong IMHO, it's a completely different demographic.

For those who insist the Chinese tourists don't participate in the seedier side of nightlife in Thailand.

Posted on September 2, 2014 at 1:57 am

The Tourist Police based on Walking Street, received a complaint from a group of Chinese Tourists in the early hours of Monday, who claimed to have paid money to a man who promised to take them to see a sex show which never took place as the venue had already closed.

The group were approached by a man in Soi Pattayaland off Pattaya Beach who agreed to take the group to a bar to watch a sex show in exchange for 2,000 Baht, which was handed over to the man, Khun Itinan aged 32. The group arrived at the bar to find it was closed and when they asked for their money back the man refused.

Tourist Police located the man and took him to Pattaya Police Station along with the Chinese group. He admitted taking the group to the bar and was in possession of pornographic laminated cards which he uses to explain the services on offer at the establishment. He claimed to be unaware the bar had already closed and promised to repay the 2,000 Baht.

Further legal proceedings against the man are now underway.

Who, exactly, insisted that?

I think it's pretty well agreed that Chinese and Koreans are the most prolific in this side of tourism in most parts of Asia.

I have heard it argued often that Chinese and Korean tourists only stay in within their tour groups and don't contribute to the local economy as much as Western sex tourists do (always mentioned by Western sex tourists who believe they are the heart and soul of the Thai economy). This subject comes up anytime I mention that any potential drop off in Western tourist numbers will be made up and far surpassed by Chinese tourist arrivals before too long. And an increasing portion of those Chinese tourists will be sex tourists.

There is a small area of Karaoke parlors/massage parlors in Phuket town that ONLY cater to Chinese/Korean guests
BUT they never arrive alone , always in groups an it is part of the tour for male guests and has been for as long as can remember.

not sure how much $$ is contributed to the local economy.
