Pornographic VCD Found in Bangkok

Not surprising, the findings in the PP district. I don't think there ever were under-20 aged customers in that area, before OR after drinking age was raised to 20.


DPM raids Pantip Plaza and seizes 1 pornographic VCD

The Deputy Prime Minister led a raid on Pantip Plaza to suppress vice and intellectual property crimes.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Social Development and Human Security Paiboon Wattanasiritham (ไพบูลย์ วัฒนศิริธรรม), conducted an inspection of pornographic vendors at Pantip Plaza and instructed officers to conduct a sting operation resulting in the apprehension of 1 VCD vendor, along with the seizure of 1 pornographic VCD, 30 MP3 discs, and 2 bags of marijuana.

The Deputy Prime Minister then visited entertainment venues along Patpong district on Silom Road and reports finding no illegal activities. Mr. Paiboon reported that youths under the age of 20 years were not found inside local entertainment venues and bar proprietors and their staff were cooperative.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that he would conduct discussions with Bangkok Governor Apirak Gosayothin and representatives of VCD dealers to arrive at a proper solution to violation of intellectual property rights.

Note to the DVD boys on Silom: Don't say DVD/CDV/Sex to any pompous looking middle aged Thai men followed by an entourage of well dressed yes men.

they wern't looking very hard.

I wonder who the poor sod was that had to be sacrificed so the other 100 could carry on as normal ?

seriously! when I was there every 5 feet somebody was trying to sell me "sexy movie".

[bao-bao]

A friend passed along to me what's worked for him when he had a porn DVD vendor tagging along with him.

When he'd hear "Sexy movie? Sexy movie?" he'd stop, look the guy in the eye and say with a leering smile "OK... if YOU'RE in them. Are YOU in them?"

Sorry I can't remember how to say it in Thai right now, maybe someone here will chime in with that.

It almost always gets a laugh and gives me j-u-s-t enough time to escape through the crowd!
