Technically illegal and Brit bar owners pay to protect Ladyboy street workers?
[QUOTE=Llantarnam;2898796]A mass brawl between Filipino transgender prostitutes and Thai ladyboys over a turf war in Bangkok's red light district?

In this United Kingdom media report I see it mentioned that prostitution is "technically illegal" in Thailand. If that is true I have yet to see a specific, "technical", literal or implied statement to that effect in the Thai Criminal / Penal Code. Not simply for consenting adults exchanging money for sex, that is.
Nor have I read about or met anyone in the 12 years I have lived in and around the ground zero Red Light districts of Bangkok who ever got busted and charged for this, imo, non existant "technical" crime in Thailand. Neither a customer nor a provider of the service here. Not even Freelancers who work the street and have never worked in or for a bar, a massage shop, an escort service, etc.
Even in this report it is asserted that these are Thai and Philippino Ladyboys in front of a hotel on Soi 11, no mention of them working in a bar or being bargirls / barboys working in a bar, engaged in deadly (stilettos involved) violence. Yet they are not arrested for this supposedly "technical" crime of prostitution but only for not having the right visa or work permit to ply their apparently perfectly legal trade.
Then they go on to explain that away by saying some British bar owners keep the police at bay on this issue through regular payments to them.
Really? Who are these genius British bar owners that regularly pay the police to leave Philippino Ladyboy Freelancers working the street alone? You know, Freelancer street girls and boys who, if they have prostitutes who actually work IN and FOR those British-owned bars, would only provide competition for the baht that I can only presume those British bar owners would much prefer be spent on their girls rather than on any Thai or Philippino street girls.
Do British bar owners really pay the cops to leave those Freelancer street workers alone? Why on earth would they do that? LOL.
The easy, lazy, non researched yet routinely repeated nonsense regarding P4 P in Thailand seem to be crashing into one another willy-nilly in that one report.
Recommendation. Butterfly. Sukhumvit 24
I stumbled upon this place the other day and thought I would recommend it. The girls are young and super cute. Not the gorgeous girls you find in the high-end soapies, but really cute and a big step above what you find in bar girls in Nana or Cowboy. I visited one afternoon and was quite impressed.
Okay, so to me this is where the real value of this place is. Check out the prices for outside service. 7,500 TBH for 6 hours and unlimited shots. That's about $200 USD for a beautiful young Thai girl to come to your hotel for 6 hours. While the trans brawl was happening on the street steps from my hotel, I was up in my room with a beautiful naked Thai girl all night. It was spectacular.
