Eight women arrested for prostitution at a brothel in Hua Hin resort town early Tuesday told police they chose to work in the sex trade because it paid well.
The women were detained at a rented house near Hua Hin railway station by a team of local officials, soldiers and volunteers. A female clerk and a man working as a guard were also arrested, Hua Hin district chief Sutthipong Khlai-udom said.
Police seized an accounts book detailing sex service payments and found many used condoms at the house, which had 10 small rooms where the women served their customers.
The women, mostly from Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani, Surin and Mae Hong Son, were aged 20-30 years old, said Mr Sutthipong. They admitted they had entered the sex trade voluntarily because it was lucrative.
They charged customers 650 baht each, of which 350 baht went to the house operator. Customers wanting to stay overnight were charged 3,500 baht each, and again the boss received half.

This is often the true reality. It's not their only option, it's the well-paid lazy option.The women, mostly from Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani, Surin and Mae Hong Son, were aged 20-30 years old, said Mr Sutthipong. They admitted they had entered the sex trade voluntarily because it was lucrative.

Serving Thai customers I assume????
Re: Sex workers arrested in Hua Hin raid
Every Thai city has their soapy massage 'fish bowl' places that cater for Thai and Thai-Chinese guys plus their normal "massage" places too. It's almost all voluntary and conducted on a 'come-and-go' basis for the girls and the establishments. Girls work freely in a reasonably safe environment and the establishment gets a cut for providing said environment. These places are just not 'in-your-face' as the local older men like the 'cloak-and-dagger' style of MO.
As for the pros that work beer bars and big hotels and all, then you never hear about the 21-year-old slim smoking-hottie types in big tourist places earning 6 figures a month or more and enjoys doing it....no, never hear about them because they don't fit the agenda of those trying to report and shock.

Probably the owner didn't bribe the right person, or not enough.....

Re: Sex workers arrested in Hua Hin raid
Is Valentines still on the go at the southern end of town..?
No..never been in the place, but have cycled past it many mornings..& yes on many occasions there's been nice 'ladies' nearby who were always pleasant to me..considering it's not an area many Farang frequent. It would seem this place has been running for years now, & has accomodation buildings very nearby for it's 'staff'.
IF it's still in business & has been for years then one would assume it's well 'connected'.

Valentines has been on my agenda for some time but somehow I never got around to it.
What is its status today- is it a regular brothel, and are farangs welcome?
