Only 48 000 prostitutes in Thailand

Kittisak Sinthuwanich the deputy secretary-general from the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Board has been out counting prostitutes again.

This year he came up with the very silly number of 48 000 and that includes male prostitutes down to the age of 13 years.

Everybody that ever sat their foot in Pattaya or Phuket knows that you can count 48 000 just by open your eyes and that the number is totally wrong. But since Kittisak Sinthuwanich only counts prostitutes that works in brothels he can get away with that low number.

If he should count all working girls, bar girls, go go girls, second wife’s, free lance girls, bum boys or normal street hookers the number will be maybe 10 times as big.

Most people forget that most of the Thai hookers are not for the foreign men they are for Thai men and the bar girls have been her long time before the American army open up Pattaya. Merely 30 % of the prostitutes are for foreigners the rest are for Thai men. They visit karoke bars, Café and massage palaces.

100 wanted foreign criminals in Pattaya Thailand

The Thai police believe over 100 wanted foreign criminals living in Pattaya and want them out. The Thai police are working with the American authorizes to compare lists on wanted people in the US that could be in Pattaya or Bangkok.

Most of the foreigners wanted are believed to be pedophiles on the run from the law in their own country.

Thailand is a good country to hide in as long as your own country does not look for you and know you are in Thailand. Thai police do not go knock on doors they are very comfortable indoors with air con and TV.

New Thailand divorce forum

We like to recommend the new Thailand Divorce forum that has opened. So many foreigners come to Thailand to get married with a Thai girl and end up unhappy with the marriage and the divorce.

The forum will try to help people with tips and recommendations how they can get out of their situation in the best way possible. It will also help with lawyers advice and translating advice.

If you have any questions regarding marriage or divorce in Thailand then I suggest you head over to the Thailand divorce forum and start asking righting now.

If you are a lawyer Thailand or aboard that and knows about this matters feel free to step in and help fellow foreigners with questions.

Garry Glitter lost in Thailand transit

The most well known pedophile Garry Glitter was refused entry into Thailand. When he arrived from Vietnam he refused to take the connecting flight to London and got stuck in arrival since Thailand did not want to let him in either.

The government could not force him onto a plane so they put him in hotel over the night and the day after he want to Hong Kong. But in a Hong Kong also refused him to enter and sent him back to Thailand.

When Garry Glitter arrived in Thailand the airport is going to put him on a flight to London but they did not say how they would do it. When he arrived in London he will be met by Police that will question him and make him sign a pedophile act. He can then be refused to travel abroad, but right not that does not seem to be a problem since no countries wants him.
