Prostitution was made illegal in 1960. However, a 1966 law allows entertainment venues to offer "special services". Guess what those services involve.

Charged for what? Prostitution is legal in Thailand and they ladies are not minors, unless they will be charged with illegal entry into Thailand or probably for competing with the local people in the trade.

My god, Laos women coming to Thailand and undermining the nation's morals.

Seriously, if this is not a payoff thing to cut out the competition or because the cops were not getting their cut, I will eat my hat.

What? Prostitutes in the Greater Pattaya region? Surely not?! Why exactly were they arrested? Undercutting the locals?
