BANGKOK: -- Police, soldiers and public administration officials descended on Nataree Massage Parlour in Rachada Phisek Road Bangkok on Tuesday.

The raid followed complaints of human trafficking violations and other illegal activities at the soapy massage emporium.

They found a total of 100 girls offering sexual services, three of whom were under the age of 18, reported Sanook.

Ten foreigners were found to be working there in breach of regulations. In addition officials found bank statements itemizing possible illegal payments to third parties.

The raid apparently followed three months of preparations and evidence gathering with officers posing as customers.

The operation was shut down on the strength of operating a sex business and employing foreigners, The enquiry will be widened to follow the trail of any illegal payments found in the bank statements.

Out of all the places, this place probably has the least chance of any human trafficking. The girls' come in and out as much as they want.

I do not think so.
This is big business.
They will not kill the goose that lays golden eggs.

The Nataree shop ran dazzling.
Good prices, good selection, good service.
Popular with locals and tourists.
Rumor is that there are tensions between influential persons.

Envious owners of other massage parlors have difficulties.
Overpricing, too little choices,  racist foreigners surcharges and too few customers.
Let's see how and when to proceed.

Update.

Bangkok police have raided two more massage parlours in the Rachadapisek and Bangkapi areas as a crackdown continues following the closure of the Nataree earlier in the week.

Four top Huay Kwang policemen were transferred after the Nataree raid uncovered underage girls and a handwritten alleged tea money list.

In the latest developments Copa Cabana in Rachada Soi 17 and La De'Fense in Bangkapi were raided Friday. However, no illegal activities were found to be taking place and no arrests were made, reported Daily News.

Suthisan police and soldiers under the leadership of station chief Termpao Siriphuban undertook the Copa Cabana raid. Some 22 massage girls working there were all Thai and all over 20 years old. Four girls known as "cheer" girls and 20 serving staff were all working legally. Thirteen people were tested for drugs but all tests came back negative. The use of rooms and the manager's credentials all checked out.

The story was similar at La De'Fense soapy massage where Wang Thong Lang police checking for underage girls and foreign workers lured into the sex trade found nothing illegal going on. This establishment is in Huay Kwang district.

Chief Termpao said that following the raid on Nataree earlier in the week similar establishments can expect inspections on an ongoing basis. He said that meetings are scheduled to discuss the best way to carry out the raids.
