POLICE TASK FORCE DISCOVER UNDERAGE PROSTITUTES IN PATTAYA GOGO BAR

A police task force has raided the Cats GoGo bar in Banglamung, Pattaya, after suspecting that the establishment was providing underage girls for service.

Pattaya, the 18th of December 2009 [PDN]: At approximately 00:00am, Colonel Atisawit Kamonrat (Superintendant with Pattaya Immigration police), Colonel Sarayut Sanguanphokhai (Superintendant with Pattaya police), Lieautenant Colonel Worraphon Thorngphaiboon (Superintendant with the National Operation Center for Prevention of Human Trafficking) and Lieautenant Colonel Ormsin Sukgarnkha (Deputy Superintendant with the Child and Female Protection Center), together with a combined task force of officers raided the Cats GoGo bar in Banglamung after a report had been placed stating that the establishment was soliciting underage prostitution and services.

The initial raid involved an undercover sting operation, where police requested the services of an underage girl from the GoGo bar in exchange for 2,000 baht cash. Once the offer was accepted and the girl provided, the task force raided the establishment and begun their investigations. Cats GoGo bar is a small establishment which provides a central stage for the scantily clad or naked girls to dance and entertain customers whilst they have a drink. The police investigation revealed that the bar was employing 17 dancers on the night of the raid, of which 5 had been under the age of 18.

Officers from the joint task force arrested and detained Miss Suni Viangkham [48] from Nakhon Sawan (bar manager) and Mrs Wanna Biltel [35] from Banglamung (the licensee, owner). They will both be charged for providing underage girls for prostitution and services in order to financially benefit, and for encouraging underage girls to performing immoral acts.

The 12 girls who had been working in the bar, who are over the age of 18 have been arrested and fined 200 baht for soliciting prostitution, before being released. The 5 underage girls have been remanded by the Child and Female Protection Center who will investigate the girl’s situations further, before notifying their parents or relatives of the arrests.

^German owned I believe.

Travelmate · 18-12-2009, 03:42 PM

disgusting.

Davis Knowlton · 18-12-2009, 03:46 PM

$6 fine for selling your ass - well, that'll teach the little trollops to stick to planting rice!

the dogcatcher · 18-12-2009, 04:00 PM

Didn't the minister for tourism say that there were no prostitutes in Pattaya or something like that.
Yeah and 200 baht. That's the commission on 5 lady drinks. Big money.

Davis Knowlton · 18-12-2009, 04:06 PM

And the underage ones will be sent home to parents or relatives - which was who sent them there in the first place, and which is who will immediately send them back - just to a different bar. Well done! Law and order triumphs once again......

Where's Tax Exile?

I want him to see that not all little school-age no-class-kids are layzing around. These girls were literally working their asses off! There's the free market for ya mate! You reckon they were the daughter's of corrupt hi-so or military/bureacrat big-hair types?

No - let the free market reign, eh?

Travelmate · 18-12-2009, 04:07 PM

There are underage girls here, and you lot fret on about the cost of the fine!

Davis Knowlton · 18-12-2009, 04:10 PM

Yep, tremendous amount of difference between 17 and 18. Like 12 months or less.

Butterfly · 18-12-2009, 04:27 PM

isn't that the place attached to the hotel where they have cameras so you can order directly from your room ?

Davis Knowlton · 18-12-2009, 04:32 PM

Guess if you're 17 it is. Was when I was 17. And over 16 is legal here in the Philippines, as it is in many states in the US.

That sounds like a really lazy way to go mongering, and what about having a drink with the girls too, I really enjoy having a drink and a bit of banter with the girls

I had thought that the PI had highered the age to 18?

Davis Knowlton · 18-12-2009, 04:39 PM

To work in the Manila bars - 18. Legal age in the PI -16. Legal age in the provinces - 14. Legal age to work in a police-owned bar in the provinces - ????? Cost of made to order birth certificate - peanuts.
