German arrested in connection with HIV Quicktest website run by Pattaya Company

Posted on November 22, 2012

A 72 year old German was arrested by Region 2 Police on Wednesday accused of operating a website offering HIV Quicktests. The Website indicates it is run by a South Pattaya-based company called HIV Quicktest International from an address on Pattaya Second Road.

Officers from the Child and Women Protection Unit conducted a raid on room number 425 on the 4th floor of the New Day Night Hotel off the South Pattaya Road on Wednesday afternoon and detained it’s occupant Mr. Horst Joseph Melchner, who is named on the website as the account holder where money to purchase the HIV testing kits should be sent to.

Police also found sex enhancement medication including Viagra and Kamagra Jelly along with sex toys and pornographic pictures of what appeared to be foreign women. Mr. Melchner claimed they were intimate pictures of his wife who was based in Germany and were taken 20 years ago. Other medication, some available over the counter of Pharmacy’s in Thailand and some medications which are not permitted to be sold in Thailand were also found.

Mr. Melchner claims the medication found is for his own personal use. Despite this claim the investigations into the raid and subsequent seizure of items from his room are ongoing and he is expected to be charged with multiple offences over the next 24 hours.
