    Yes, you would have thought it might have got a mention on one of the expat forums by now if it had been going on that long ?
    Many of the forums have rules against even MENTIONING the subject. Possibly warranted by the zealous approach of law enforcement in this kind of crime.

    It's funny this thread has popped-up.

    A clean cut American teacher who I know, fresh off the boat told me he saw this only last week when he went to buy some DvD's. He was in total shock.
    If anyone is here for the temples and the culture it's him.

    He's a college grad on a gap year befor he starts his Masters. The realization that Thailand is not all smiles is starting to dawn on him and he's talking about leaving already...

    This material is totally unacceptable. These people should be arrested but as we know, as long as they are linging the pockets of those who are here to serve, nothing will be done.

    Morally bankrupt.

    Just as the 'senior officer' said, the industry is run by "influential people.' Add that to the illegal casino operating 24/7 and it sort of gives the game away.

    Only people higher up the food chain than the 'influentials' can do anything to stop it, but as we know they won't if there's nothing in it for them.

    No much of a zealous approach to law enforcement if that trash is openly on sale. Unless the crime you refer to for zealous enforcement is not to actually sell the stuff but to publicise the fact that it is being sold; much like prosecuting not the arsonist but the bloke who raises the alarm.

    There's a reason their country is the World's leading sex tourism destination and a haven for criminals, perverts and paedophiles.

    They talk about cleaning up their image but they only care about money. It's the single most important thing you have to learn about them when you stay in Thailand. Everything is ok if it makes money.

    But if we read of an arrest almost every day... it looks hardly a haven to me , especially if you consider the police is well aware of the money they can squeeze out of paedos and therefore quite happy to go after them.

    Thats what normally happens in Pattaya, not kiddie porn but normal porn, don't think I have seen normal porn on open display before though, find it hard to believe they would have normal porn on open display in Bangkok.

    Kiddie porn surfaced on beach road a couple of years back and has been there ever since. When I remonstrated with one vendor, their normally adequate English disappeared in favour of the blank "I don't understand you" look.

    As someone else said, they wouldn't sell it if people weren't buying it, lob anyone who buys or sells in nick for 10 years and they might think twice.

    Just another Thai enigma , this is a society that does not permit prostitution, has no "adult "shops and bans pornography outright ?
    Yet you can fall over any of these "products" during a quiet shopping trip to the market?

    Bangkok Post : Police move in to clean up porno stalls in tourist areas

    CHILD VIDEOS

    Police move in to clean up porno stalls in tourist areas

    • Published: 6/10/2010 at 12:00 AM
    • Newspaper section: News


    Bangkok police have begun a series of sting operations to catch stall owners selling VCDs and DVDs containing child pornography.

    Most of the stalls are located in the tourist district of Sukhumvit and most of the customers are foreigners, the chief of Metropolitan Police Bureau Division5 said yesterday.

    The crackdown is aimed at catching and prosecuting pornographic VCD and DVD vendors and the gangs behind the production of child porn, Pol Maj Gen Anuchai Lekbamrung said.

    The crackdown follows an investigative article in the Bangkok Post Sunday on Oct 3 which reported the material was displayed openly at the stalls.

    Pol Maj Gen Anuchai said officers were not always able to catch the vendors red-handed as the discs were not kept at the stalls. They have nabbed vendors in the past by using foreign volunteers.

    The children used in the videos are Thai, Cambodian and other nationals who have been either hired or lured into the porn business, said Pol Col Suwitphon Imchairat, a deputy commander of the Anti-Human Trafficking Division.

    Pattaya is also known as a major location for the distribution and trade in child pornography, he said.

    Pol Col Suwitphon said it was difficult to find evidence to bring the people behind the illegal production and distribution of child pornography to court because it was hard to locate the children in the films. He said foreigners involved in pornography would be deported to face charges in their own countries.
    "Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

    Funny, every time I have been in Panthip it is Thais buying and selling the stuff. Almost exclusively Thai customers I must add, with the odd tourist.

    The 'blame it on the foreigners' routine I find tiresome and offensive.

    It's a bit like the ' surprising results in cambodia ' [ on another thread ]

    when a survey was carried out asking the actual underage victims, who were thier main clients, it was almost exclusivly cambodian men who used underage girls.
    and not foreigners as the press and NGO want to purvey.

    when in rural thailand i always heard the stories of thai men and underage girls, however this seems never to reach the mainstream media as it is not sensational enough.

    as has been discussed in previous threads the indiginous people should start to look within, and they might be 'surprised', it is not just horrible foreigners corrupting young people, in the main the problem is far far greater and seems to be somewhat accepted within thai and cambodian society.
    not good news for goverment and not good for NGO coffers me thinks.

    I doubt it. They know exactly whats going on. Its foreigners who are naive for reckoning they dont.

    "SwingKing" has been available in Thai VCD stalls for donkeys' years.

    Indeed. It's only an issue and newsworthy as it's been brought to foreigners attention. Naive is as naive does.

    Farangs make a big mistake in thinking Thais are unaware of the flaws in their society, or that they can't reconcile those flaws with either their conscience or with any kind of moral or Buddhist ethics. They can.
