…
But that’s all in the past, Chuvit says. He has sold his old businesses and bristles at questions about his former endeavors, maintaining that he wants to focus on building his political career. He was elected to Parliament in 2005 but was later disqualified. He also launched two failed bids as Bangkok governor. A low point came when he punched and kicked a TV journalist who he says insulted him.
…
His experiences in the Bangkok underworld aren’t the only ones that inform his worldview. The 49-year old says he attended North Carolina’s Campbell University. In addition to learning about the importance of individuality and the need to question authority, he says he gained insight on gender relations during his time in the U.S.

BANGKOK — As the super-pimp who once ran Thailand’s biggest brothel empire and then exposed the police kickbacks he had to pay for it to flourish, Chuvit Kamolvisit feels uniquely qualified to lead the country’s fight against corruption.
…
It all began in 2003, when he was accused of the unauthorized, overnight demolition of scores of unlicensed bars and shops from a downtown Bangkok block he owned. The brutal move erupted into a major public scandal, and when the police failed to protect him, Chuvit fought back by exposing the behemoth bribes he had to pay to keep his mighty empire of flesh running.
Confirming that open secret turned him into an unlikely folk hero among Bangkok residents, eclipsing the demolition itself and underscoring public revulsion against official corruption. The Nation newspaper declared him “Person of the Year.”

Bangkok Escorts: Cultural mainstreaming leaves MSM at high HIV risk

prettywoman — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:25:26 +0000

… There are no discrimination laws here against gay people, so a young gay Thai may feel like, ‘My life is free, I can do anything I want,’ when in reality, most gay people here live a double life, both with a straight male identity and with a gay identity,” said Narupon Duangwises, a cultural anthropologist who works as a consultant with Bangkok Rainbow , an NGO that supports the gay community.
…
Her colleague, Nanokporn Sukprasert, a transgender former sex worker, remembers first learning about HIV two or three years after she began working at a bar.
…
Approximately 16.7 percent of Thai male sex workers were found to be HIV positive in 2010, according to Bangkok Rainbow, compared with 3 percent of Thailand’s estimated 200,000 female sex workers known to be living with HIV, according to Apisuk.

Bangkok Escorts: One night in Bangkok was almost too much

prettywoman — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 17:48:28 +0000

My initial dislike of Bangkok started quickly after my flight from Seoul, South Korea. I had just arrived in Thailand for my first time, and was obviously very excited. I had the luck of running into a couple of other Canadians, both from Calgary, on my flight. We all cleared customs together, found our bags and exited the airport looking for a taxi to the downtown area.
…
On top of fantastic temples, malls and markets, Bangkok has lots of great establishments to grab a beer on a hot and humid day. If you find yourself on Khao San Road I highly recommend checking out Mulligans, an Irish Pub, with fantastic staff and great happy hour specials. I also met tons of other nice and interesting travellers at Mulligans, which leads me to recommend it as a great place to meet other backpackers.
…
If you can get past the rampant prostitution, pushy street vendors, strange smells, lack of garbage bins and persistent suit tailors – you may actually find something enjoyable about the hub of Southeast Asia, it took a little patience but I know I did.

Bangkok Escorts: Tiger last in Bangkok foursome

prettywoman — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 04:00:27 +0000

LOVE cheat Tiger Woods came last in a foursome yesterday – in the world’s sex tourism capital Bangkok.
The golf ace has struggled to rediscover his form, which flopped after his marriage collapsed.
Tiger, who has not won a single title since details of his string of affairs emerged, played in a four-man competition at the Amata Springs Club, near the Thai capital.
But despite winning only one hole, he spoke of his determination to regain his crown as the world’s best player. Tiger, 34, was replaced at the top of golf’s rankings after 281 weeks last week by Britain’s Lee Westwood.
The US star said: “To get to number one in the world, you have to win golf tournaments and I just didn’t do that this year. I had my chances, it was one of those years where I didn’t put it together.”

Bangkok Escorts: Searching for male strippers in Bangkok

Searching for male strippers in Bangkok
…
So there I was, without a lead. This story seemed to be headed nowhere fast. Until a gay friend tells me there is a beach in Jomtien outside of Pattaya about an hour and a half away from Bangkok where women can hire male strippers to dance at their chosen venue.
…
We advise against checking out Bangkok’s ‘lady-toy’ bars, which offer male escorts for hire. Not only is prostitution illegal in Thailand, but, as a recent Bangkok Post article explains, customers can be intimidated by the waiters and security staff and hassled to buy high-priced drinks for themselves and their ‘dates’. The scene can also get pretty shady, with reports that the men for hire often expose their genitals — some wearing a condom — whether on the stage or approaching female customers at a table. That’s probably a bit more full on than most ladies want from a harmless hen’s night out with the girls.

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?

Bangkok Escorts: Thai police tell Reds to retreat

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.

Bangkok Escorts: Behind the Thai red-shirts’ carnival, a dark edge emerges

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.
