Police Seminar on how to deal with Prostitution

On Saturday Morning at the Jomtien Palm Beach Hotel, Khun Prachar, the Governor of Chonburi Province opened a one day seminar for Police Officers from Region 2 which covers 8 Provinces around the East of Thailand. The Seminar featured a guest speak from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and the International Crimes Department of the Royal Thai Police. The main issue discussed how the Police can prevent men and women from becoming a Prostitute. They may decide to work in this particular industry themselves or pressure from their families is put on them to work as Prostitutes to provide a good income for the family who may survive on a very low income. The officers were told to help men and women involved in Prostitution and send them to rehabilitation centers rather than arresting them and later releasing them to carry on selling themselves for money and to utilize the Law to force them to enter rehabilitation programs.

This has been building for some time and is still only the beginning. Get used to it. The real fun hasn't even started yet!
When the "prostitute rehabilitation" is demonstrated to work just as well as the "drug rehabilitation" the war on sex will expand yet again. The "pedo wars" were only a primer. Once you begin to travel down this road you learn there is no end to it.
There's big money involved in social engineering. Why not jump on the bandwagon and become an NGO to save the world from all kinds of imagined problems. Convince whole nations there are problems at every turn.

this is about right..."there is no end to it...."

more wacky talk in a wacky country.

This reminds of the the report I read about 12 years ago when a Thai minister said she intended to tackle the problem of teens having sex at too young an age. She stated that teen boys should be "taught how to masturbate" to curb their urges. She was trampled in the stampede of those applying to be teachers.

One gets used to authorities in Thailand who often travel in a parallel universe.:sunny:

They should host a seminar focusing on the rehabilitation of the Boys in Brown (BIB) if they really want to make a positive impact on society.

Maybe a halfway house or twelve step program like AA would work.

Let's not focus on ways to improve the economy so these families quit sending their children off to work in the sex industry. Let's just focus on ways to screw up the little money we do have by trying to convince the prostitutes that life back on the rice farm is a lot better than a life of partying with their friends at the disco. Huh !!!

Anyway, I wish them the best. Maybe the seminar will create a new breed of BIB dedicating to actually serving the needs of the people - versus stuffing pockets with bribe money...Huh Again !!!

Well said Dodger. Police corruption does more harm than prostitution.

Indeed, we must all fight to keep prostitution available, and to keep prostitutes employed, especially in Pattaya. Anything that keeps the baht down and prostitutes therefore cheap, in $┬г terms, is to be encouraged. How dare these NGOs and liberal do gooding pinkos start trying to look after the welfare of prostitutes. Leave that us, the punters. We've had years of experience at this, and frankly if they can't perform properly they shouldn't be paid anyway.

It is most important that Thai citizens, especially those from the North East are kept poor and ill educated, otherwise they might start thinking that they have the right to a better life than bedding us punters. After all we have gone to a lot of trouble to travel all this way to provide them with employment.

Prostitution would not exist (at least not in its present, flagrant form) without police corruption.

Clean up corruption in the police, and say goodbye to Boystown, Sunee Plaza, and Soi Prostitute.

Is that still what you want to advocate?

Yeh and say goodbye to the Gay McMafia with their BIB Protection :bom:

Rehab courses are already available for bar boys who get caught on the pee test raids - but not compulsory.

Prosstitution exists pretty flagrantly in almost all societies, whether the police are corrupt or not. Take a look at the gaydar commercial section for London, for example. Police corruption does, however, allow prostitutes to be exploited. Whether it is through the employment of under age persons or the coercion of prostitutes to hand over a share of their earnings, forcing them to engage in sex or forms of sex unwillingly, or other forms of abuse. Open, legal prostition, where the main focus of policing is on the protection of the prostitutes (and their customers) is the best solution to these problems.

That and reducing poverty levels so that prostitution is a genuine choice (a surprising number do choose it for reasons other than necessity). Though if this ever happens the price will certainly go up. I suspect people will continue to pay.
