Police Continue Crackdown on ‘Short-time’ Premises in Pattaya

Crime Suppression Police raided another ‘short-time’ bar in North Pattaya on Saturday night. Following this week’s raid on the Mandarin Bar in Soi 6, officers instigated a similar investigation on the nearby Soho Bar.

Pattaya, the 9th of October 2010 [PDN]: At approximately 11:00pm on Saturday, Lieutenant Colonel Choosak Kaytong (Crime Suppression Special Unit officer) and his team conducted a sting operation at the Soho Bar (A-Go-Go) on Soi 6, off Pattaya Beach Road.

In similar circumstances to Thursday’s raid on the Mandarin Bar, officers using a foreign national as an undercover agent infiltrated the Soho Bar, after reports surfaced that the establishment may be offering prostitution services by way of ‘short-time’ rooms located above the main bar.

Following the setup, whereby the undercover agent requested and paid for the use of the aforementioned sexual services, officers raided the premises and arrested eight women, including the bar manager, Mrs. Pornsawan Iammala [33].

The seven arrested staff/Go-Go dancers were found to be all under 20-years-of-age, while Mrs. Iammala reluctantly confessed to being the owner and manager of the establishment. Police investigating the incident were reluctant to provide the media with any information pertaining to evidence confiscated in the raid other than the information of those arrested.

The seven employees of the establishment have been charged with ‘prostitution and/or aiding in the prostitution of others’, while Mrs Iammala has been charged with being the ‘owner/manager of an illegal prostitution business’.

Pattaya Daily News Editor’s Note:
As with the case of the Mandarin Bar earlier this week, the officers involved in the raid are part of the Bangkok – Crime Suppression Special Unit – Police. This may constitute a show of force by the unit undermining local authorities and/or promoting the new commander of the national division. High-ranking Royal Thai Police officers are rotated in their positions on a yearly basis (every October), including divisional heads.

Are you sure you looked under the tables? They might be hiding.

They could have gone to several hudred bars and got exactly the same result, not really amazing in Pattaya is it?

I assume someone simply forgot to pay their monthly subscription to the old bill.

Hope they drive all the tourists away, greedy f*ckers.

Swarms of them have gone back to the paddies already as there's no tourists here.

**Bangyai** · 10-10-2010, 04:53 PM

Knee tremblers out back ....... the way of the future.

Don't be silly, that's why most of the tourists go there!

What other reason to go there, the beach?

Then why raid only one or two bars? they could have raided hundreds that is if they had time? maybe the police were on "short time" too?

Don't believe everything you read in the Thai press especially re police matters as very often the specifics are neither clear or for public consumption.

During my recent trip to Thailand i drank on the street level terrace of a well known bar. I sat there for 30 seconds and had to move because some chappie set up his kebab stall complete with two rotating spits. I asked the bar owner why he put up with the antisocial heat and smell from this vendor and was told and i quote. He clever man pay police 30,000bht for a year before i know he was going to sell outside my bar, police say i have to pay 60,000bht to get rid of him !

I'm beginning to think there is a future in offering inflatable dolls instead of the real thing.

Some of the customers probably wouldn't notice anyway.

Good idea!

Would be far safer for sure and in many cases as you correctly say the customers wouldn't realise any difference and save on condoms too!

Make sure you remember to empty them.

Mrs Iammala has been charged with being the ‘owner/manager of an illegal prostitution business
