Police raid Brit organised ’swingers’ party’ Bangkok

The bald reality from the Thai Rath
From Andrew Drummond, Bangkok
Thai police raided a hotel room in Bangkok early today and arrested 13 men and ten women they said were taking part in a British organised ‘swingers party’.
The raid took place at Bangkok’s Elizabeth Hotel and a British man, Chris Richards, 54, and his Thai wife, the organisers of what police described as ‘a swinging sex tour,’ were charged with conducting an illegal commercial sex operation.  They had charged participants each the equivalent of £62.
All the men were foreign; seven out of the ten women were Thai. The party included nationals from Britain, Australian, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Korea.
They also took away lubricant, pornographic materials and 30 Viagra pills.
The raid inspired an immediate furore on local internet forums from local expatriates angered at police intrusion of privacy in Bangkok which had set itself up as a ‘sex tour city’ .
Posters known as a ‘Brit_Thaicpl’ frequently advertise swinging parties on the internet through a Yahoo group known as ‘ThailandCentralSwingers’.
A promotion statement for the event states: “The evening starts normally like a cocktail party with people casually dressed to attract the opposite sex (no jeans or wellington boots) .
“People eat from the great buffet and help themselves to drinks from the wide selection with no limits and play slowly unfolds at each person’s own pace.

“It’s a great night and well worth coming to, you will see all styles of play.”
Legal note: Technically all entertainment establishments offering sexual services in Thailand are illegal. But they pay cash to police not to enforce the law.

    I liked your legal note at the end there.

    I know of a certain unnameable training establishment who decided to take advantage of the 1997 ecomomic crisis by renting very cheap shophouses in a certain resort that had seen a phenomenal growth in housing developments in the preceeding years. The previous occupants of the building had been operating some subspecies of knocking shop. Soon after the company moved into their new premises, the manager was informed that there were two policeman in the foyer who would like a quick word. The manager found two tourist policeman - one of whom had already taken the liberty of putting his boots up on a dining table. The two policemen had obviously heard that a new business was moving into one of the shophouses and had assumed it was yet another singasong or massage parlor type operation. The two were obviously calling with the intention of collecting some baksheesh. They were at first not at all convinced that the shophouse was now really a ‘respectable’ training establishment (probably suspecting some variant of the old school uniform routine), but they eventually got the message after a the manager had spent 30 minutes shoing them all sorts of evidence. They left the building looking somewhat sheepish, and probably feeling like a right pair of dorks.
