Excellent idea, as for gay prostitution first shut down all the gay dating apps, second harass all the bars and go go's into oblivion. As for hetero prostitution which is the sector that brings in the real money it is just a matter of revoking bar licenses, 24 hour army presence on beach road, least we not forget the message shops...Raid, Raid, Raid....case closed!

The Mirror, the scourge of the gutter press in the U.K.
Why pay any attention to it in a country 5500 miles away?
If that tin pot policeman just ignored it, the problem would dissolve itself in 24 hours...

Why pay any attention to it in a country 5500 miles away?

The powers that be have always been sensitive to the foreign press......an expose by a European T.V. crew was what put Sunee in its death throw.

Done, and it didn't take that long, really. That's the claim by an official of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports as he toured Walking Street and Beach Rd., noting that "many problems of the past had now been addressed".

"There is nothing to worry about,” he added. “Pattaya is a quality place that is of a world standard”.

The last time I walked from Central Festival to almost Walking Street (Boyztown if you must know) on Beach Road, hookers were shoulder to shoulder on much of that stretch. While I made no attempt to count them or to estimate their number, that the police recently went there and found a whopping 20 of them to arrest tells me all I need to know about the seriousness of this latest crackdown. This too shall pass.
