Bangkok Escorts: Thai soapy massages meet politics

Can Bangkok’s former “Brothel King” bring political tension to a happy ending?
…
Playing godfather to a brothel empire may seem an odd springboard to becoming an anti-corruption crusader. But any Thai living in Bangkok can recount Chuvit’s path to fame, chronicled in soap opera detail by the Thai press.
In the early 2000s, Chuvit began publicly accusing senior police officers of milking him for an alleged $350,000-plus in monthly bribes. It was protection money, Chuvit claimed. [Brothel bosses can escape prostitution laws through a flimsy legal sleight-of-hand: They rent out masseurs but claim ignorance of in-room activities.]
…
People still think of you as the “Brothel King.” But in 2005 you smashed a jacuzzi bathtub in front of parliament to show you’re out of that business. Are you still connected in any way to the massage trade?

prettywoman — Wed, 05 May 2010 22:36:55 +0000

Thai police sought yesterday to push back anti-government “Red Shirts” from a confrontation zone in Bangkok after deadly grenade attacks further stoked tensions in the long-running political standoff.
Hundreds of riot police, unarmed but carrying shields and batons, moved on the heavily fortified barricades which form the front line of the Reds’ vast encampment that has paralysed the main retail district in the heart of Bangkok.
“Police asked protesters to move their barricade some 100 metres… to ease the confrontation but so far there is no agreement,” Major General Anuchai Lekbumrung of Bangkok Metropolitan Police told AFP.
…
It was the latest bloodshed on the streets of Bangkok in the weeks-long standoff between the government and Red Shirts, and triggered alarm in the international community which issued urgent calls for for restraint.

Bangkok Escorts: Bangkok business district hit by grenade blasts as rival factions face off

prettywoman — Wed, 05 May 2010 22:36:53 +0000

Five grenades exploded in the heart of Bangkok’s business district on Thursday, killing at least one person and wounding 75 as rival groups of protesters demonstrated and insulted each another across a makeshift barricade.
The conflict has its roots in social divisions between the mostly poor and rural red shirts and an urban middle class that had not been active on the streets until about a week ago.
The antagonism between them was displayed by a pro-government protester who made a rude gesture towards the red shirts on Thursday as she stood in front of a misspelt placard in English reading “Uneducate people.”
The explosions, several of which occurred on the platform of an elevated train, scattered shrapnel through crowds that included foreign tourists, sending people fleeing in panic into shops and restaurants. They threatened to ignite wider violence after more than six weeks of protests that have sought to bring down the government and force a new election.

Behind the Thai red-shirts’ carnival, a dark edge emergesBy Tim Johnston in Bangkok Published: April 24 2010 03:00 | Last updated: April 24 2010 03:00
Behind barricades of tyres and sharpened bamboo staves that surround their four-block bastion in central Bangkok, Thailand’s red-shirted protesters have built a parallel community in their own image.
The food is spicier, the political discourse more profane and the accommodation and sanitation far more rudimentary than that of the Thai capital’s usual inhabitants.

Bangkok Escorts: How about experiencing Bangkok these days ?

prettywoman — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:25:53 +0000

Looking for entertainment? Despite the proximity of shouting Red Shirt leaders over loudspeakers at Lumpini Park, Silom Road is almost back to normal for tourists looking for night entertainment. Prostitutes are waiting again for customers in Patpong alleys and seem unimpressed by army troops patrolling in the area. Irish pubs are welcoming expats again looking for a cool beer in front of a giant TV screen broadcasting football or car racing. Even in the worst of the turmoil ten days ago, gay venues never closed down. Bars and discos with transvestites performing as usual were and are all open. Only Patpong central night market was closed, as it could have been an easy target for casualties. But Suan Lum Night Bazaar with its wide choice of handicraft objects continues to operate, despite some outlets being closed. This is finally what makes Bangkok so special: the capital has the ability to adapt to anything, for better or worse.
