So...2 Russian women are abducted, robbed, and sexually assaulted by 3 (presumably str8) Thai guys in the Huay Yai area - and the Police response is to raid the Sunee Boy Bars (Gay) as part of the their plan to "reduce the crime rate to zero"....

Is it April 1st already?

The usual suspects.....I sense that the problem is that the Sunee workers have no one of sufficient political clout to support them.
Scapegoats.

SG: I do agree with you, up to a point. They did find 30 boys on drugs which at 20 per cent of those tested is quite high.

Yes, but the report linked the Sunee raid to the abduction, robbery, and sexual assault of 2 women, in a completely different area - in any reasonable person's view there no credible link between bar boys in a gay area being under the influence of drugs (which I am sure we would all rather was not the case) and the case being cited in the report.

Arsenal, firecat reported it on this thread.

Firecat:
The reason A447 may not have mentioned Sunee being slow is because I believe he and Irish told me at dinner one night that Sunee was the busiest they had seen in quite some time and even described it and other places as packed.

Let's hope that high season has not been condensed into a few of the highest season weeks and does not peter out now. People may be selecting just the weeks around Christmas and New Years for their holiday due to limited budgets. Let's hope not.
