Chlp Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Chuwit does massage U-turn SURASAK TUMCHAROEN Deputy Chart Thai party leader Chuwit Kamolvisit yesterday called on Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to stamp out the prostitution-riddled massage business within the next few years. Earlier widely known for having run several lucrative massage parlours in the Ratchadaphisek road area and nearby, Mr Chuwit suggested Mr Thaksin introduce legislation to criminalise the ''modern-day'' massage parlour business, which, he said, not only involves the flesh trade but harbours other illegal dealings. ''For the sake of our young generation, the premier should come up with a bill to put an end to all massage businesses in the next three years. Modern-day massage is not only prone to prostitution but encourages gambling and other vices,'' said the maverick lawmaker. About 20 business people currently own leading massage parlours in the Ratchadaphisek road and New Phetchaburi road areas, Mr Chuwit said. Hundreds of Burmese and Karen women were lured into prostitution at massage parlours in the Ratchadaphisek area. Though the Burmese and Karen were known to carry fake IDs, the Immigration Police and other authorities did not arrest suspected prostitutes, Mr Chuwit said. ''The police might have arrested some of the Burmese and Karen only to release them in exchange for pay-offs a few hours later. You'd feel as though you were somewhere in Burma if you got to the sidewalks of Ratchada and noticed those women did not speak Thai,'' he said. The ex-massage parlour tycoon earlier charged that senior police officers received bribes from massage parlour operators. Mr Chuwit added that he planned to introduce legislation to keep all businesses involving vice from within a 500-meter radius of schools and colleges nationwide. Meanwhile, national police commissioner Pol Gen Kowit Wattana said the police had never planned to issue a licence to the Alaina massage parlour on Ratchadaphisek road whose owner should have known that it was illegal to set it up in front of a secondary school. Pol Gen Kowit's decision not to issue the licence was in line with the suggestion of a review committee of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, led by Pol Gen Amnuay Petsiri, which stated that the parlour's business was in breach of the law.

rickfarang Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Chuwit admitted to criminal acts (bribery and pandering explicitly come to mind) while making a fortune in an illegal business, then declare to be reborn '"The old Chuwit is dead", he said, while retaining his financial gains from his illegal operations. People bought the story that the old Chuwit is dead, and maybe that was Chuwit's really was thinking, and then he turned around and was elected to public office (to make merit to atone for the "dead" Chuwit's sins???). And the public has bought into this! It alternatively boggles and numbs the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 If I recall right, he was married to an American gal when he lived in the US. But the marriage broke up, so he returned to Thailand and became Bangkok's biggest pimp (in the non-political sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
