prostitution in Bahrain?I've heard there are a lot of prostitutes in Bahrain, is this true? If so, where? Manama? I didnt think prostitution was even an issue in places like this. Does anyone know this? Other - Society & Culture - 2 Answers - 2008-05-06 20:04:16 Best Answer A highly-organised prostitution ring supplying Thai women to the booming market of Bahrain is the first target of the new police Transnational Sex Trafficking Unit. A Thai prostitute in Bahrain said: ''Bahrain is a lucrative destination for us. Many women are said to have made a million in less than a year.'' Though most Thai prostitutes in Bahrain are working there of their own volition, this is still regarded as transnational human trafficking, said Pol Maj-Gen Kamronwit Toopkrachang, chief of the Crimes Against Children, Juveniles and Women Suppression Division, which oversees the unit. According to the report, Thai sex workers ply their trade in locations ranging from coffee shops, Thai massage outlets, nightspots and five-star hotels. Most of them typically solicit customers at massage shops in the so-called Thai town of Adliy. The source quoted the report as saying: ''Agents, known as 'Mae Tak,' oversee Thai sex workers in Bahrain until they earn enough [to pay off their debts].'' After repaying the on-arrival expenses of around 130,000-180,000 baht each to Mae Tak, they can return home or work freelance. Many women did go there voluntarily, but were tricked into working as prostitutes. All Answers Answer 1 Every country has prostitutes, but some are more obvious about it [prostitution is legal in those countires] then others. 2008-05-06 20:13:01 Answer 2 A highly-organised prostitution ring supplying Thai women to the booming market of Bahrain is the first target of the new police Transnational Sex Trafficking Unit.
