There is a long standing rivalry between the police and the military. Thaksin was an ex policeman and look what happened to him.

This has happened before. The police stopped foreign men working in Soi Twilight last June for some weeks.
It was always on the cards that a right-wing military junta would , at some stage, turn its attention to the gay scene. The only protection that gay businesses have is their money....and I suspect that this could be running out in some cases.
Double Shot (Sunnee) Cambodians were taken away a few nights ago I hear. A clamp down on foreign workers seems to be the common theme in these raids rather than anything else.
What happened to the free movement of labour plan between the SE Asian nations?
its implementation is progressing according to plan, but I don't understand why you consider it relevant to this discussion
while I am sure many of us here would consider some of these guys "highly skilled" in the world's "oldest profession" I am not sure any ASEAN officials would consider them "skilled" in the eight "professions" currently included under the ASIAN Economic Community (AEC) rules and regulations - engineering, nursing, architecture, medicine, dentistry, tourism, surveying and accounting - and they would all fail to meet the requirements for years of training and experience, visa and work permits, and employer commitment to transfer of skills and knowledge to local employees and the eventual replacement of foreign employees with locals - all essential elements in the AEC commitment to "enhanced free movement of skilled labor"

indeed the rules and regulations where put in place to prevent exactly what is happening in the sex trade - foreign workers flooding in and stealing dicks from the orifices of locals!

Given the age of some of those hitting the bars, maybe nursing and medicine might be more than appropriate LOL
Surely these boys are skilled in a form of taxidermy?
I've just enjoyed offs with Thais, Cambodians and Vietnamese so I love ASEAN.
