[quote=wolvenvacht;1335290]typical "fear mongering" by a politically correct law-firm. as i said before, these laws exist in similar form in most of european countries and no customer has has ever been arrested just for simply "sitting" in a "prostitution establishment" or for negotiating with a sw. i am quite sure it is the same in thailand.[/quote]i've never heard of any such cases, but that doesn't mean they've never occured or couldn't. before the soyouwannaboom airport scam involving police it hadn't occured either.
not everything that happens in the big bad world is reported in the news or on forums, so it is possible things like this have been done, especially perhaps somewhere out in the country, small towns, or phuket.
of the mp and bar raids by police in places like phuket, bangkok and pattaya, customers have been forced to submit [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord109][CodeWord109][/url] samples, arrested for drugs being evident in their [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord109][CodeWord109][/url], and arrested for overstaying their time allowed to visit thailand.
now if during one of these raids a customer was caught in the act of sex or with his pants down, and the girl confessed to being a prostitute or recieving your money for it, or there was evidence like used condoms, or the officer didn't like the way you spoke to him, or what you were doing to the lady, or you were mistaken about her age being 18+, or he hit you up for tea money you couldn't or wouldn't pay, you could be in for a trip to the station, or be saying hello to the inside of the bangkok hilton. a charge of "associating in a prostitution establishment for the purpose of prostitution" could be both convenient and correct.
[quote=]phuket governor wichai phraisa-ngop said the raids were just the first in what will be a strict and ongoing crackdown on prostitution.
according to official police statistics, there were a total of 1, 588 people arrested for prostitution in 2009, up 13. 3% year-on-year.
there were 225 arrests for prostitution-related charges in december 2009, just over double the figure from december 2008.[/quote][url]http://swoplv.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/thailand-57-alleged-prostitutes-rounded-up-in-phuket-town/[/url]
you could call it "fear mongering". that is one theory. or you can say what you did before, since lawyers often try to help people avoid breaking the law, why take any risks:
[quote=wolvenvacht]so, a pattaya fl beach road beauty, that is approached by you, is not creating a nuisance and does not advertise is ok (legally speaking). mind you, if you take her to your hotel, she should not follow you! have her walk in front of you otherwise she might fall foul of section 5 ("follows or importunes a person in a street (snip) in an open and shameless manner"). it is ok is she walks behind you in a demure way, but why take any risks?
but a pattaya soi 6 lady, that catches your arm "in an open and shameless manner" is at least liable for a fine of 1000 baht and jail-time for up to 1 month (section 6) and if she offers the use of their st rooms or invites you inside their establishment ("by any means makes known to the public in a manner apparently indicative of importunity or solicitation for the prostitution of himself, herself or another person") , it could be an offense under section 7 punishable by imprisonment for a term of six months to two years or to a fine of ten thousand to forty thousand baht or to both.[/quote][url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?2184-general-reports&p=1248896&highlight=prostitution#post1248896[/url]
would you recommend going to the police if a hooker has robbed you, or you have another issue with her?

If the situation is so bad and risky in Thailand, then please don't come here. Believe me, if any foreigner was arrested for "associating" in a brothel, that would be known very fast. If there were any chances of extracting some tea-money from farang for being in a brothel, then many cases would happen.
Don't you think it strange that these lawyers fail to give any figures? And only speak about a (vague, unquantified) possibility? In lawyer's speak, that means it is but a theoretical possibility but actually never happened.
I rest my case.

[QUOTE=PinkPearl; 1334590]Is anyone concerned about Thai law stating a customer of a prostitute may spend up to a month in a god awful Thai jail?
In other words, a possible death sentence.

Party night in Phuket
Went on a bachelor party last week in Phuket with about 6 guys. The original plan was to try a local
G" club, but they are nothing like the ones in Bangkok. (read lame) so we went back to fun street. We decided to go to Rock Hard because the groom to be had been before with good results.
It was pretty quiet but a few cuties in the lineup. One guy pulled a big titted girl from the stage and as it turns out she was from India. As he had never had an Indian girl before, he took her to a ST hotel, and was happy with the results. I sat a couple, but the increased bar fine kind of turned me off and I didn't make a selection.
Across the street, there were a number of cuties available and another friend took the one with the great ass from a few nights before out for another successful test drive.
All in all a good party, and the crowds were not too bad, at least the girls showed some interest.
One thing was kind of funny, I paid the bill in Rock Hard and the waitress asked me for a tip. I picked up the bill and told her that I had already been charged a "service charge" and wasn't going to tip twice. Plus she wasn't that much fun anyway.

Go-gos
Just got back from a trip to Patong- stayed at the Acca Hotel (GF, no joiner) which is just 1 min walk further than the Yorkshire. Clean, modern furnishings, and good bathroom.
Checked out the Suzy Wong group of Go-gos. The original, Devil's, and Diablo. They are located at the very end of the Soi that is all open air bars in the middle (with a roof that covers the entire Soi).
My assessment:
Best quality: Suzy's.
Best atmosphere: Diablo.
Selected a very nice girl from Diablo for LT, name was Milky. She was very fun, and we danced at Tiger Club before retiring and having fun before bed and after waking up. Standard rate. Not the most attractive, but she had girl next door type look and fun personality. Overall I found the girls at Diablo to be more fun.
Also selected a girl from Suzy's (got to get there on the early side to have best pickens, the first night I stopped in late around midnight, all the cuties were taken). Girls here seem a bit more detached- but once you select one, she will warm up. I chose a girl who was darker skinned and had a cute but not hot face- and short hair like a punk do. I forget her name, but she had the hottest body in there by far. All natural, spinner type. Very fit. Did ST for standard rates, and she was also quite fun. Her friend is the one that looks like Bai Ling and is actually half Chinese.
Did not get a chance to try the clubs for FLs but may next time, there were some hotties partying it up at Tiger late night.
Beware the LBs on the street, some are lookers! .

I doubt if they get rich coming up with these interpretations (imagination) of what is nearly not there!

They may put up Christmas trees and shit in malls to make foreigners feel welcomed/spend money (and ask for gifts) but I doubt if any of them really know, understand, or give a rat's ass about the Baby Jesus story.
