Child Prostitution on Walking Street Pattaya
The thugs selling junk, animal photographs and drugs were out in full force on Walking Street Pattaya New Year eve. The tourist police and the normal police must have slipped away after the count down because they were not in any force at all.
Maybe you think it is totally innocent to cuddle with a snake or other animal on holiday but these people sell everything from children to drugs and they also kidnap children to use. Do not support them by buying anything from them on Walking Street. You can read my old article about the crimes on Walking Street.
Young Thai girl
On New Year I was outside Marine Disco on Walking Street look at the people pass by with few of my friends. I saw a gang of too young girls going back and forward on their motorbike and finally they stopped outside the Marine Disco.
It was pretty clear that they belonged to the same gang selling foam spray and other things on New Year but they were a bit older maybe 14-15 years old.
A lady boy talked to a farang around 30 years of age and told him to follow the “oldest†of the girl on her motorbike and off they went. I have no illusion they would go eat cookies and drink milk.
Me Pen Rai
I know “mee pen rai†is a very popular word in Thailand but most of the time this kinds of people will sell anything including their and other peoples children for money.
By supporting them and buying things from them when you visit Thailand you support child prostitution and child labor.
Moral compass
If you see any picture on Facebook or Myspace with your friends posing with animals or kids on Walking Street Pattaya send them this story and tell them to do better next time.
Hopefully the Thai police will wake up sooner than later and stop them for a month or so until it is up to you and me to listen to our moral compass.

Effort sure, action none, corruption and laziness you bet!

Thailand does have laws against prostitution and child prostitution, but often it is a problem with enforcement of the laws as well as corruption.
This article on Sex Laws in Thailand talks about Thailand’s efforts, along with international law enforcement groups, in busting pedophiles in the region.

They did have a nice crack down last year when they took off all these scum from Walking Street i really hope they do a crack down this year as well.
