No sex in the massage parlours!!!!


Guest

Recommended Posts

I have just seen a short news report on TV in Australia about a plan by some Thai Govt. minister to stamp out sex in all the massage parlours. Has anyone heard about this and how the hell does he think this could be policed!!

 

The report was framed by some filmed footage of what looked to be a really luxurious room with a dining table and chairs for about 8 people and in the same room a jacuzzi/hot tub for the same number of people. Where is this likely to be? Is that what the 'suites' in a place like Poseidon look like????

 

Could be a great place for my 50th next year.

 

Any help on this appreciated.

POLICE CHIEF CRACKS DOWN: 'No more sex in parlours'

 

The Nation

Sep 4, 2003

 

Police chief Sant Sarutanond yesterday pledged to do what many believe is impossible - make all massage parlours sex-free.

 

His clampdown threat, which prompted many critics to ask "Why now?", is the latest twist in the convoluted showdown between police and controversial commercial-sex tycoon Chuwit Kamolvisit.

 

Undercover officers posing as customers have visited Chuwit's five night-entertainment venues and rounded up operators and female masseuses on charges of prostitution.

 

Sant insisted that police had not discriminated against Chuwit, and that legal action would be taken from now on against any massage parlour found to provide sexual services.

 

"I have sent out a clear message, and that is 'no sex at massage parlours'," said a defiant Sant, who has admitted recently to being the business partner of a hotelier who also owns massage parlours.

 

"We need a better social order. We don't want to be a place where tourists who want just massage are handed a Bt3,000 bill and wonder what on earth is going on. The sex services are an embarrassment to our country, our image and our culture."

 

The police chief pledged to deploy undercover police on a regular basis and is looking at a legal possibility of "standardising" service fees at massage parlours in order to prevent operators from charging customers for sex.

 

"Fees must cover baths and massages only," he said.

 

But even Deputy Commerce Minister Watana Muangsook doubted that Sant's idea could be enforced.

 

"Only basic necessities are subject to price controls," Watana said. "If a private club wants to charge its customers Bt1 million each, nobody can stop that."

 

Chuwit yesterday led owners of massage parlours to taunt Sant for forgetting the principles of a market economy.

 

"The man has lost the plot," said Chuwit. "We are not a monopoly working on government concessions. Our clients won't die if they can't come to us, nor do we force anyone to use our services."

 

The manager of a massage parlour on Phetchaburi Road accused Sant of trying to apply socialist concepts to a capitalist market. "Anywhere in the world, prices of luxuries are market-driven," he said.

 

Some massage-parlour customers believe the police are "doing the right thing for the wrong reason" after being embarrassed by Chuwit's bombshell claims that he paid massive bribes to senior policemen to keep his business going.

 

Members of the House committee on police affairs also questioned Sant's motives in their private talks, said the panel's spokesman, Wuthipong Chaisaeng. "Many of us see the raid on Chuwit's massage parlours as a discriminatory enforcement of the law," he said.

 

Chuwit is also facing money-laundering charges.

 

"I have been in this business for 10 years and the police have never bothered to search my places," the tycoon said.

 

"Now they have arrested my employees, poor girls. What will they do now, with police cornering them like that? I think all the officers involved in this inhuman action will get promotions."

If kuhn Sarutanond really can eliminate sex in the massage parlors, he will have done something that even the police in places like Salt Lake City, Utah hasn't been able to do. Why do these officals make absolute statments like this that it is obvious they cannot hope to live up to?

 

Even with televison cameras in the soapy rooms, as some might imagine them doing next, who can tell what goes on beneath the bubbles in the tub??? :D

 

Has anyone been turned down when trying for extras during a massage lateley?

 

Fun to watch this unfold.

I think many are missing the actual intent behind this effort. It is not to shut sex out of massage parlors. It is to put the pressure on K Chuwit to shut up. He's been badmouthing the police with his bribery allegations right up to the chief of police. Not only is it costing individual cops money, it is also bad for reputations with APEC coming.

 

Incidentally, I don't think the crackdown on nightlife is related at all to what's going on in the MPs right now. Other than timing.
