Seven Vietnamese prostitutes arrested in a Friday night police blitz on Bangkok’s Sukhumvit Road face deportation and blacklisting. Senior officers led the crackdown following complaints of aggressive solicitation and harassment near Soi Nana. All seven were transferred to immigration authorities at Suan Phlu. Meanwhile, the arrests bring the district’s reported Vietnamese prostitution arrests to 32 across five operations since May 2025. Earlier investigations exposed earnings reaching ฿150,000 monthly and private arrangements worth up to ฿200,000. Despite repeated raids and deportation orders, foreign street prostitution persists. Separately, DSI investigations have uncovered organised trafficking, coercion and debt bondage linked to Sukhumvit street sex rackets.

Seven Vietnamese women arrested during a Bangkok police crackdown on Friday night face deportation and blacklisting from Thailand. The operation targeted street prostitution along Sukhumvit Road, between Soi 4 and Soi 11.

Police moved in at approximately 8 pm following complaints about aggressive solicitation and harassment of pedestrians. All seven women were subsequently transferred to immigration authorities at Suan Phlu.

Significantly, the arrests form part of a continuing crackdown on foreign prostitutes in Bangkok’s busiest nightlife district. At least 32 Vietnamese women have been arrested during five identified Sukhumvit operations since May 2025. Previous raids resulted in fines, immigration detention and deportation orders.

Police launch Sukhumvit crackdown after complaints of aggressive street solicitation and harassment

The Royal Thai Police launched Friday’s operation after complaints from residents and visitors. Photographs and reports circulating on social media also attracted police attention. The material showed foreign women openly approaching pedestrians and offering sexual services.

According to officers, some women repeatedly followed potential customers and approached passers-by. Police described their behaviour as aggressive, disruptive and a public nuisance. Furthermore, the authorities said the activity damaged Thailand’s international tourism image.

In response, officers conducted surveillance before deploying a joint arrest team. The operation concentrated on Sukhumvit Soi 4, commonly known as Soi Nana, and the surrounding area towards Soi 11.

These streets form part of Bangkok’s principal international nightlife district. Hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues and tourist businesses attract substantial numbers of foreign visitors. The area around Soi Nana also has a longstanding association with commercial sex.

Senior Bangkok police commanders lead joint operation that arrests seven Vietnamese women on Sukhumvit

Police Major General Nitiwat Saensang, Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 5, directed the operation. He was supported by Police Colonel Decha Phromsuwan, Deputy Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 5. Police Colonel Yingyot Suwanno, Superintendent of Lumphini Police Station, also oversaw the crackdown.

In parallel, Police Lieutenant Colonel Ekaphon Phutthikul, the station’s Deputy Superintendent, helped coordinate the deployment. Police Lieutenant Colonel Warayut Puangnak, an investigator, participated alongside Lumphini’s vice suppression officers.

The operation brought together police, immigration and social development authorities. Officers from Immigration Division 1 joined the arrest team. Separately, officials from the Department of Women’s Affairs and Family Development participated.

The department operates under the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. This arrangement allowed authorities to process prostitution offences and begin immigration proceedings during the same operation.

At approximately 8 pm, officers moved against women soliciting customers along Sukhumvit Road. Seven Vietnamese nationals were arrested, aged between 22 and 41. Police identified them as Ms Thi Thui, 39, Ms Thi Phu, 37, and Ms Thi Hien, 22. The other detainees were Ms Thi Nguyen, 41, Ms Thi Bich Hung, 29, Ms Thi Wui, 40, and Ms Tu An, 35. Their names were published in Thai-language reports. Accordingly, the English spellings remain approximate transliterations rather than verified passport names.

Seven Vietnamese women face prostitution charges as immigration officers prepare deportation proceedings

All seven were accused of publicly soliciting customers for prostitution. Police said the women approached, contacted, followed or harassed individuals in public places. Their conduct was described as open, indecent and disruptive.

As a result, the charges were brought under Section 5 of the Prevention and Suppression of Prostitution Act 1996. The provision prohibits public solicitation where the behaviour is open, causes embarrassment or creates a nuisance.

The offence carries a maximum fine of ฿1,000. However, the immigration consequences for foreign nationals extend considerably beyond the financial penalty. Following the arrests, social development officials processed the women for administrative fines.

Immigration Division 1 then began proceedings to revoke their permission to remain in Thailand. The authorities invoked Section 12(8) of the Immigration Act 1979. This provision concerns foreign nationals associated with prostitution and other activities prohibited under immigration legislation.

Consequently, a relatively minor prostitution offence can trigger deportation and exclusion from Thailand. All seven women were transferred to the Immigration Bureau’s Suan Phlu facility in Bangkok.

The authorities announced plans to deport them and place their names on the immigration blacklist. Under the announced measures, they would be barred from returning to Thailand. Their cases have therefore moved from prostitution enforcement into the immigration removal system.

Suan Phlu transfer puts seven women into immigration removal process after earlier Vietnamese deportations

Suan Phlu houses Bangkok’s established Immigration Detention Centre and associated immigration facilities. Foreign nationals awaiting deportation may be detained there while officials complete administrative procedures and travel arrangements.

These include confirming identities, examining immigration records and arranging transportation out of Thailand. In addition, travel documentation can affect the duration of detention. Foreign nationals holding valid passports may face fewer administrative obstacles during removal.

The official accounts confirm that all seven women were transferred to immigration authorities at Suan Phlu. The announced measures include revocation of permission to stay, deportation and blacklisting. Their precise holding arrangements and individual departure dates were not detailed.

Nor did police specify the duration of each proposed exclusion period. Nevertheless, the procedure closely matches earlier operations involving Vietnamese women in the same Sukhumvit district.

On May 23, 2026, immigration authorities ordered the deportation of ten Vietnamese women arrested for prostitution. According to Thairath, Police Major General Prasat Khemmaprasit, Commander of Immigration Division 1, directed the operation.

All ten women were fined ฿1,000. Subsequently, their temporary permission to remain in Thailand was revoked. The women were transferred for immigration detention and deportation. Their names were also placed on the immigration blacklist.

Repeated Sukhumvit raids catch Vietnamese and African women as Channel 7 reveals prostitution earnings

That operation took place barely five months before Friday’s latest arrests. Earlier in May, police had already conducted another crackdown. On May 7, officers arrested five Vietnamese women and one Uzbek woman following complaints about public solicitation.

The six were detained in the Sukhumvit nightlife district. Before that, on March 20, police arrested 16 foreign women during another operation in Sukhumvit Soi 4. That group comprised ten Tanzanian women, five Kenyan women and one Vietnamese national.

The enforcement record extends further back. In May 2025, officers arrested 15 foreign nationals during another Sukhumvit Soi 4 operation. Nine were Vietnamese women.

The arrests subsequently prompted an investigation by Thailand’s Channel 7 into the economics of foreign prostitution in Bangkok. The broadcaster examined the amounts earned by women working in the capital’s commercial sex market. Its findings revealed substantial differences in reported income.

Monthly earnings ranged from ฿3,000 to ฿150,000. Meanwhile, tips associated with individual encounters were reported at between ฿300 and ฿3,000. The investigation also identified monthly living expenses ranging from ฿10,000 to ฿20,000.

Notably, Channel 7 described arrangements involving individual patrons and considerably larger payments. These reportedly ranged from ฿40,000 to ฿200,000. Such figures concerned particular arrangements rather than typical monthly earnings.

Channel 7 investigation details sex trade income as Sukhumvit draws tourists and foreign customers

The broadcaster also reported that some women served as many as five customers nightly. The findings provided a detailed account of money circulating within Bangkok’s foreign prostitution trade.

Some women reported modest earnings, while others described substantially higher payments. Nevertheless, the investigation concerned the broader market examined in May 2025. It did not establish the earnings or financial circumstances of Friday’s seven Vietnamese detainees.

Sukhumvit provides direct access to international tourists, expatriates and business visitors. Women soliciting customers on the street can approach potential clients without working through bars or entertainment establishments.

Moreover, the area contains a substantial concentration of hotels and businesses serving foreign customers. Sukhumvit Soi 4 is particularly associated with Bangkok’s nightlife industry. The surrounding streets also attract substantial pedestrian traffic throughout the evening.

The Channel 7 figures provide important financial context for the continued presence of foreign prostitutes. They document considerable differences between ordinary reported earnings and payments under individual patron arrangements.

For example, the upper monthly figure reached ฿150,000, while reported living expenses were substantially lower. The broadcaster also identified tips and payments from individual customers. However, these figures were not linked to the women detained on Friday.

Visa-free regional travel permits entry but prostitution offences expose foreign women to deportation

Regional travel arrangements provide another important part of the background. Vietnamese citizens can enter Thailand under applicable visa-exemption arrangements, subject to immigration conditions.

These arrangements facilitate short-term travel between the two countries. By contrast, entry as a visitor does not authorise prostitution or employment prohibited by Thai law. A foreign national can therefore enter Thailand legally before subsequently violating immigration conditions.

Friday’s operation concerned prostitution-related conduct rather than illegal border entry. Police did not report that the seven Vietnamese women had crossed Thailand’s borders illegally.

Their arrival dates, immigration classifications and travel histories were not detailed. Likewise, their previous immigration records were not included in the announcement. The distinction matters because separate legislation governs prostitution offences and permission to remain in Thailand.

Thailand’s prostitution legislation provides penalties for public solicitation. Immigration legislation, however, separately allows authorities to revoke permission to remain in the country. Section 12(8) of the Immigration Act 1979 was the provision cited in Friday’s operation.

Accordingly, the immigration measures extend far beyond the maximum ฿1,000 prostitution fine. The women face removal from Thailand and restrictions on their future entry. Identical categories of enforcement action were announced against ten Vietnamese women in May.

DSI trafficking investigation uncovers coercion in Sukhumvit while Friday arrests focus on solicitation

On another front, Thailand’s Department of Special Investigation has previously uncovered organised prostitution networks operating in Sukhumvit. In December 2024, the DSI announced arrests involving a transnational network recruiting African women for prostitution in Bangkok.

Investigators identified coercion, deception, threats, debt bondage and confiscation of earnings. The operation targeted individuals involved in recruiting and controlling women working in prostitution. It was separate from Friday’s crackdown.

That DSI investigation established organised trafficking activity within the same nightlife district. Separately, the United States State Department has documented cases involving Vietnamese women trafficked abroad for sexual exploitation.

Its reporting identified fraudulent employment offers among recruitment methods. These findings concerned broader international trafficking investigations. They did not establish that any of Friday’s seven Vietnamese detainees had been trafficked.

The latest police announcement concentrated on public solicitation, harassment and immigration enforcement. It identified the seven women and described the complaints leading to their arrests. The authorities also detailed the participation of police, immigration and social development officials.

However, the announcement did not identify organisers or intermediaries connected with the women. Their working arrangements, accommodation and sources of income were not detailed.

Thailand records hundreds of trafficking cases as Sukhumvit police arrests of Vietnamese women mount

Police also announced no associated arrests of individuals accused of controlling or profiting from the women’s activities. The Department of Women’s Affairs and Family Development participated in processing the prostitution offences.

Meanwhile, Thailand maintains separate procedures for identifying victims of human trafficking. Such cases involve different legal and administrative arrangements from ordinary prostitution and immigration offences. Friday’s announced proceedings centred on solicitation charges and removal from Thailand.

Thailand’s official 2025 anti-trafficking report recorded 279 human trafficking cases. Of those, 246 involved sexual exploitation, including 170 cases concerning prostitution. The report also identified online recruitment and advertising among the features encountered during trafficking investigations.

These national figures concern trafficking enforcement across Thailand rather than Vietnamese prostitution in Sukhumvit. Even so, they document the separate criminal investigations conducted against organised sexual exploitation.

The historical record reveals the frequency of arrests involving Vietnamese women in Sukhumvit. At least 32 such arrests have been reported across five identified operations since May 2025.

The first involved nine Vietnamese women among 15 foreign nationals detained. Subsequently, one Vietnamese woman was arrested during the March 20, 2026 crackdown. Five more were detained on May 7, followed by ten on May 23. Friday’s seven arrests bring the combined total to 32.

Five police operations record 32 Vietnamese arrests as authorities repeat deportation and blacklisting

The figure represents reported arrests rather than a verified count of distinct individuals. The published accounts do not establish whether any woman was arrested more than once.

Nevertheless, the record confirms repeated enforcement against Vietnamese prostitution in the same Bangkok neighbourhood. The May 23 operation provides the clearest comparison with Friday’s crackdown. On that occasion, Immigration Division 1 revoked the temporary stay permission of ten Vietnamese women.

Each received a ฿1,000 fine before being transferred for immigration detention and deportation. Their names were also placed on the immigration blacklist. Five months later, police have again detained Vietnamese women along Sukhumvit Road.

The latest operation has produced the same announced immigration consequences. All seven face revocation of permission to stay and deportation. Additionally, the authorities intend to blacklist them from entering Thailand again.

The repeated operations have involved women from several other countries. The March 2026 arrests included Tanzanian and Kenyan nationals. Meanwhile, the May 7 operation involved an Uzbek woman alongside five Vietnamese detainees.

The separate December 2024 DSI investigation concerned African women recruited through an organised trafficking network. Together, these cases document different forms of enforcement against foreign prostitution in Bangkok.

Police complaints drive Sukhumvit crackdown as authorities combine prostitution and immigration action

Some operations concentrated on women openly soliciting customers in public. Others involved investigations into recruitment, exploitation and organised criminal activity. Friday’s crackdown falls into the first category, according to the offences announced by police.

The immediate trigger was complaints about women approaching and harassing pedestrians. Social media reports and photographs also contributed to the police response. Officers subsequently conducted surveillance before deploying the joint team.

The arrests were made at approximately 8 pm along Sukhumvit Road, between Soi 4 and Soi 11. Police Colonel Yingyot Suwanno subsequently confirmed the operation and the circumstances leading to the arrests.

The Lumphini superintendent described complaints about persistent solicitation and disruptive behaviour. He also referred to the effect on Thailand’s tourism image. The location is particularly prominent because Sukhumvit is one of Bangkok’s principal international nightlife districts.

Its hotels, restaurants and entertainment businesses attract foreign visitors throughout the year. The streets around Soi Nana also have an established association with commercial sex.

As part of Friday’s enforcement, Metropolitan Police Division 5 coordinated with Lumphini Police Station and Immigration Division 1. Officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security also participated. The operation combined prostitution enforcement with immigration proceedings against the seven women.

Immigration law brings deportation and blacklisting after relatively small fines for public solicitation

The detainees were charged under Section 5 of the 1996 prostitution legislation. Immigration officers then invoked Section 12(8) of the 1979 Immigration Act. This distinction explains why a relatively small prostitution penalty has resulted in deportation proceedings.

For foreign nationals, immigration permission can be revoked independently of the financial penalty. The authorities have also announced blacklisting to prevent the women from returning to Thailand.

All seven have been transferred to Suan Phlu for further processing. The immigration complex has long served as a central location for Bangkok’s detention and deportation arrangements.

Foreign nationals facing removal may remain in immigration custody while their cases are processed. The time required depends on documentation, administrative procedures and travel arrangements. In Friday’s case, the women have entered the immigration removal process following their arrests.

The announced procedure matches the earlier operation involving ten Vietnamese women in May. That crackdown resulted in fines, revocation of temporary stay permission, detention arrangements and deportation orders. Friday’s operation has again produced an announced decision to remove Vietnamese women arrested for street prostitution. It also extends a documented enforcement record stretching across 2025 and 2026.

Five Sukhumvit operations net 32 Vietnamese arrests as police pursue another round of immigration removals

At least five identified operations have involved Vietnamese nationals during that period—the combined total stands at 32 reported arrests. Elsewhere in the same enforcement record, police detained foreign women from Africa and Central Asia.

The DSI has also separately investigated organised prostitution networks operating in the district. These cases establish Sukhumvit as a recurring location for both prostitution enforcement and trafficking investigations.

Friday’s arrests followed complaints, surveillance and a coordinated police deployment. Seven Vietnamese women were detained, charged and transferred to immigration authorities. They now face deportation and blacklisting under the Immigration Act. The latest operation therefore adds another seven cases to Bangkok’s continuing crackdown on foreign street prostitution along Sukhumvit Road.

在“犯罪”、“生活”、“媒体”、“泰国”类别下

周五晚间，曼谷警方在素坤逸路展开突击行动，逮捕了七名越南籍妓女，她们将面临遣返和列入黑名单。此前，警方接到多起投诉，称有人在娜娜巷附近进行咄咄逼人的拉客和骚扰行为。高级警官领导了此次打击行动。七名妓女均被移送至素坤逸路移民局。与此同时，自2025年5月以来，该地区已开展五次行动，共逮捕了32名越南籍妓女。此前的调查显示，这些妓女每月收入高达15万泰铢，而私人交易金额甚至高达20万泰铢。尽管警方多次突击搜查并下达遣返令，但外国妓女在街头卖淫的现象依然存在。此外，泰国特别调查局（DSI）的调查还发现，素坤逸路的街头卖淫团伙涉及有组织的贩卖人口、胁迫和债务奴役等犯罪活动。

周五晚间，曼谷警方开展打击卖淫活动的行动，逮捕了七名越南籍女子，她们将面临被驱逐出境和列入泰国黑名单的命运。此次行动的目标是素坤逸路4巷至11巷之间的街头卖淫活动。

当晚约8点，警方接到有关行人遭到骚扰和强行拉客的投诉后采取行动。随后，七名女子全部被移交给素安普鲁移民局。

值得注意的是，此次逮捕行动是曼谷最繁华的夜生活区素坤逸路持续打击外国妓女行动的一部分。自2025年5月以来，在素坤逸路开展的五次行动中，至少有32名越南女性被捕。此前的突击搜查行动导致她们被处以罚款、移民拘留和驱逐出境。

警方在接到有关街头拉客和骚扰的投诉后，对素坤逸路展开打击行动。

泰国皇家警察周五展开行动，起因是接到居民和游客的投诉。社交媒体上流传的照片和报道也引起了警方的关注。这些资料显示，一些外国女性公开接近行人并提供性服务。

据警方称，一些女性多次尾随潜在客户并接近路人。警方形容她们的行为具有攻击性、扰乱秩序且构成公共滋扰。此外，当局表示，这种行为损害了泰国的国际旅游形象。

警方随即展开监视行动，随后部署联合抓捕小组。行动重点集中在素坤逸路4巷（俗称娜娜巷）及其周边至11巷一带。

这些街道是曼谷主要国际夜生活区的一部分。酒店、餐厅、娱乐场所和旅游企业吸引了大量外国游客。Soi Nana 周边地区也与商业性交易有着悠久的联系。

曼谷警方高级指挥官领导联合行动，在素坤逸路逮捕了七名越南女子。

曼谷第五警区指挥官尼提瓦·桑桑少将指挥了此次行动。第五警区副指挥官德查·普罗姆苏万上校协助了他。伦披尼警局局长英约·苏瓦诺上校也监督了此次打击行动。

与此同时，该警局副局长埃卡蓬·普提库尔中校协助协调了此次部署。调查员瓦拉尤特·普昂纳克中校与伦披尼警局的扫黄警员一同参与了行动。

此次行动汇集了警方、移民局和社会发展部门的官员。移民局第一分局的警员加入了逮捕小组。此外，妇女事务和家庭发展部的官员也参与了行动。

该部门隶属于社会发展和人类安全部。这种安排使得当局能够在同一次行动中处理卖淫犯罪案件并启动移民程序。

晚上8点左右，警方在素坤逸路沿线对拉客的女性展开行动。七名越南籍女子被捕，年龄介于22岁至41岁之间。警方确认她们的身份，分别是39岁的Thi Thui、37岁的Thi Phu和22岁的Thi Hien。其他被捕者还有41岁的Thi Nguyen、29岁的Thi Bich Hung、40岁的Thi Wui和35岁的Tu An。她们的姓名已在泰语报道中公布。因此，文中出现的英文拼写仅为大致音译，并非经核实的护照姓名。

七名越南妇女面临卖淫指控，移民官员正准备启动遣返程序。

这七名女子均被指控公开招揽卖淫生意。警方称，这些女子在公共场所接近、接触、跟踪或骚扰他人。她们的行为被形容为公开、猥亵且扰乱公共秩序。

因此，这些指控是根据 1996 年《防止和取缔卖淫法》第 5 条提出的。该条款禁止在公共场合公开招揽卖淫，这种行为会造成尴尬或滋扰。

该违法行为最高罚款为1000泰铢。然而，对外国公民而言，移民后果远不止经济处罚。逮捕行动后，社会发展官员对这些女性进行了行政罚款处理。

随后，移民局第一处启动了撤销其在泰国居留许可的程序。当局援引了1979年《移民法》第12(8)条。该条款涉及与卖淫及其他移民法禁止的活动有关的外国公民。

因此，即使是较轻微的卖淫罪行也可能导致被驱逐出境并禁止入境泰国。这七名女性均被转移至曼谷移民局的素安普鲁拘留中心。

当局宣布计划将他们驱逐出境，并将他们的名字列入移民黑名单。根据已公布的措施，他们将被禁止返回泰国。因此，他们的案件已从卖淫执法案件转入移民遣返程序。

Suan Phlu转移使七名此前已被越南驱逐出境的妇女进入移民遣返程序。

素安普鲁设有曼谷的移民拘留中心及相关移民设施。等待遣返的外国公民可能会被拘留于此，以便官员完成行政手续和安排行程。

这些措施包括核实身份、审查移民记录以及安排离开泰国的交通工具。此外，旅行证件也会影响拘留时间。持有有效护照的外国公民在遣返过程中可能遇到的行政障碍较少。

官方消息证实，这七名女性均已被移送至素安普鲁移民局。已公布的措施包括吊销居留许可、遣返和列入黑名单。但具体的拘留安排和离境日期尚未公布。

警方也没有具体说明每项拟议隔离期的持续时间。然而，该程序与此前在同一素坤逸区针对越南女性开展的行动非常相似。

2026年5月23日，移民局下令遣返10名因卖淫被捕的越南妇女。据泰叻报报道，移民局第一分局局长、警察少将普拉萨·肯玛普拉西特指挥了此次行动。

这十名女性均被处以1000泰铢的罚款。随后，她们在泰国的临时居留许可被撤销。这些女性被移送至移民拘留中心，等待遣返。她们的名字也被列入移民黑名单。

素坤逸路多次突击搜查行动抓获越南和非洲籍女性，第七频道揭露卖淫收入。

那次行动发生在周五最新逮捕行动前不到五个月。五月初，警方已经开展过一次打击行动。5月7日，警方根据举报逮捕了五名越南籍女子和一名乌兹别克斯坦籍女子，她们涉嫌在公共场所拉客。

这六人在素坤逸夜生活区被拘留。此前，3月20日，警方在素坤逸路4巷的另一次行动中逮捕了16名外国女性，其中包括10名坦桑尼亚女性、5名肯尼亚女性和1名越南女性。

执法记录可以追溯到更早时期。2025年5月，警方在素坤逸路4巷的另一次行动中逮捕了15名外国公民，其中9人为越南女性。

随后，泰国第七频道对曼谷外国卖淫活动的经济状况展开了调查。该频道调查了在曼谷商业性交易市场工作的女性的收入情况，调查结果显示，她们申报的收入存在显著差异。

月收入从3000泰铢到15万泰铢不等。同时，每次交易的小费据报道在300泰铢到3000泰铢之间。调查还发现，每月生活开支在1万泰铢到2万泰铢之间。

值得注意的是，第七频道报道了一些涉及个人赞助人且金额较大的交易安排。据报道，这些交易金额从4万泰铢到20万泰铢不等。这些数字指的是特定交易安排，而非典型的月收入。

第七频道调查详细披露了素坤逸路吸引游客和外国顾客期间，性交易带来的收入。

该电视台还报道称，有些女性每晚要接待多达五名顾客。调查结果详细揭示了曼谷外国嫖客交易中的资金流动情况。

一些女性表示收入微薄，而另一些女性则表示收入高得多。然而，此次调查针对的是2025年5月所考察的更广泛的市场，并未查明周五被拘留的七名越南女性的收入或财务状况。

素坤逸路为国际游客、外籍人士和商务旅客提供了直接的通道。在街头揽客的女性无需通过酒吧或娱乐场所，即可直接接触潜在客户。

此外，该区域聚集了大量服务于外国顾客的酒店和商铺。素坤逸路4巷尤其与曼谷的夜生活息息相关。周边街道在夜间也人流熙攘。

第七频道的数据为外国妓女持续存在提供了重要的财务背景。这些数据表明，普通申报的收入与根据个别嫖客协议支付的费用之间存在显著差异。

例如，最高月收入达到15万泰铢，而报道的生活开支则低得多。该广播公司还统计了小费和顾客支付的款项。然而，这些数字与周五被拘留的女性无关。

免签区域旅行允许入境，但卖淫罪会使外国女性面临被驱逐出境的风险。

区域旅行安排是另一个重要的背景信息。越南公民可以根据适用的免签政策进入泰国，但需遵守相关移民条件。

这些安排便于两国之间的短期旅行。相比之下，以访客身份入境并不意味着可以从事泰国法律禁止的卖淫或工作。因此，外国公民可以合法入境泰国，但随后可能违反入境规定。

周五的行动针对的是与卖淫相关的行为，而非非法入境。警方并未报告这七名越南女子非法越过泰国边境。

公告中并未详细说明他们的抵达日期、移民类别和旅行记录。同样，公告中也没有提及他们之前的移民记录。这一点至关重要，因为泰国对卖淫犯罪和居留许可适用不同的法律。

泰国的卖淫法规定了公开招揽卖淫行为的处罚。然而，移民法另行规定，当局有权撤销在泰居留许可。周五的行动援引了1979年《移民法》第12(8)条的规定。

因此，这些移民措施远远超出了最高1000泰铢的卖淫罚款。这些女性将面临被驱逐出境以及未来入境限制。今年5月，泰国政府也宣布对10名越南女性采取了类似的执法行动。

泰国特别调查局（DSI）的人口贩运调查揭露了素坤逸路一带的胁迫行为，而周五的逮捕行动则主要针对拉客卖淫者。

另一方面，泰国特别调查厅此前曾破获在素坤逸路活动的有组织卖淫网络。2024年12月，该厅宣布逮捕了一批涉嫌在曼谷招募非洲女性从事卖淫活动的跨国犯罪团伙成员。

调查人员发现存在胁迫、欺骗、威胁、债务奴役和没收收入等犯罪行为。此次行动的目标是参与招募和控制卖淫女性的人员。该行动与周五的打击行动无关。

德州特别调查局的调查证实，在同一夜生活区内存在有组织的贩卖人口活动。此外，美国国务院也记录了涉及越南妇女被贩卖到国外进行性剥削的案件。

报告指出，招聘手段中存在欺诈性招聘信息。这些发现与更广泛的国际人口贩运调查有关。但报告并未证实周五被拘留的七名越南人中有任何一人是人口贩运的受害者。

警方最新发布的公告重点关注公共场所拉客、骚扰和移民执法问题。公告公布了七名涉事女性的身份，并描述了导致她们被捕的投诉内容。当局还详细说明了警方、移民局和社会发展部门官员的参与情况。

然而，公告并未指明组织者或与这些女性相关的中间人。她们的工作安排、住宿和收入来源也未详细说明。

泰国记录了数百起人口贩卖案件，素坤逸路警方逮捕越南妇女的事件不断增加。

警方还宣布，没有逮捕任何涉嫌控制或从这些女性的卖淫活动中获利的人员。妇女事务和家庭发展部参与了对卖淫犯罪案件的处理。

与此同时，泰国对人口贩运受害者的识别程序与普通卖淫和移民犯罪案件有所不同。周五公布的听证会主要围绕招嫖指控和遣返事宜展开。

泰国官方发布的2025年反人口贩运报告记录了279起人口贩运案件。其中，246起涉及性剥削，包括170起卖淫案件。该报告还指出，在人口贩运调查中，网络招募和广告宣传是常见的犯罪手段。

这些全国性数据关注的是泰国全国范围内的人口贩运执法情况，而非素坤逸路的越南裔卖淫活动。即便如此，它们也记录了针对有组织性剥削而开展的各项刑事调查。

历史记录显示，越南女性在素坤逸路被捕的事件频发。自2025年5月以来，在已确认的五次行动中，至少有32起此类逮捕事件被报道。

第一起案件涉及15名被拘留的外国公民，其中包括9名越南女性。随后，在2026年3月20日的打击行动中，又有一名越南女性被捕。5月7日又有5人被拘留，5月23日又有10人被拘留。周五的7起逮捕事件使被拘留的总人数达到32人。

五次警方行动共逮捕32名越南公民，当局再次采取驱逐出境和列入黑名单的行动。

该数字代表的是已报告的逮捕人数，而非经核实的被捕人数。已公布的报道并未确定是否有任何女性被捕超过一次。

然而，记录证实，曼谷同一街区曾多次对越南卖淫活动进行执法。5月23日的行动与周五的打击行动最为相似。当时，移民局第一分局吊销了十名越南女性的临时居留许可。

每人被罚款1000泰铢后，被移送至移民拘留所，等待遣返。她们的名字也被列入移民黑名单。五个月后，警方再次在素坤逸路拘留了越南妇女。

最新行动产生了与之前公布的移民后果相同的后果。这七人均面临吊销居留许可和遣返。此外，当局还计划将他们列入黑名单，禁止他们再次入境泰国。

这些多次行动涉及来自其他几个国家的女性。2026年3月的逮捕行动中，被捕者包括坦桑尼亚和肯尼亚公民。与此同时，5月7日的行动中，一名乌兹别克斯坦女性和五名越南公民被捕。

2024年12月，DSI的另一项调查涉及通过有组织的贩卖人口网络招募的非洲女性。这些案件共同记录了曼谷打击外籍卖淫的不同执法形式。

警方投诉促使当局在素坤逸路展开打击行动，同时打击卖淫和移民犯罪。

部分行动集中打击在公共场所公开招揽顾客的女性。其他行动则涉及对招募、剥削和有组织犯罪活动的调查。根据警方公布的违法行为，周五的打击行动属于第一类。

事件的直接导火索是接到关于女性接近和骚扰行人的投诉。社交媒体上的报道和照片也促使警方采取了行动。随后，警员们进行了监视，之后部署了联合小组。

逮捕行动于晚上 8 点左右在素坤逸路 4 巷至 11 巷之间展开。随后，警察上校英约·苏瓦诺证实了此次行动以及导致逮捕的情况。

伦披尼区负责人描述了有关持续兜售商品和扰乱秩序行为的投诉。他还提到这些行为对泰国旅游形象的影响。该地点位置尤为显眼，因为素坤逸路是曼谷主要的国际夜生活区之一。

其酒店、餐厅和娱乐场所全年都吸引着外国游客。Soi Nana 周边的街道也与商业性交易有着千丝万缕的联系。

作为周五执法行动的一部分，曼谷警察局第五分局与伦披尼警察局和移民局第一分局协调合作。社会发展与人类安全部的官员也参与了此次行动。此次行动将打击卖淫活动与对七名女性的移民诉讼程序结合起来。

移民法规定，公开招揽生意者在缴纳相对较小的罚款后，将被驱逐出境并列入黑名单。

这些被拘留者被控违反1996年卖淫法第5条。随后，移民官员援引了1979年移民法第12(8)条。这一区别解释了为何相对较轻的卖淫处罚会导致遣返程序。

对于外国公民，即使不处以罚款，其入境许可也可能被吊销。当局还宣布将这些女性列入黑名单，以防止她们返回泰国。

这七人已被转移至素安普鲁移民局接受进一步处理。长期以来，该移民局一直是曼谷拘留和遣返安排的中心地点。

面临遣返的外国公民在案件处理期间可能仍被移民局拘留。所需时间取决于文件准备、行政程序和旅行安排。在周五的案件中，这些女性在被捕后已进入移民遣返程序。

此次公布的程序与五月份针对十名越南女性的行动如出一辙。那次打击行动导致罚款、撤销临时居留许可、拘留和驱逐出境。周五的行动再次宣布了驱逐因街头卖淫而被捕的越南女性的决定。此次行动还将执法记录延长至2025年和2026年。

警方在素坤逸路开展五次行动，逮捕32名越南人，继续进行新一轮移民遣返。

至少有五起已确认的行动涉及越南公民，据报道，这些行动共逮捕了32人。在同一执法记录中，警方还拘留了来自非洲和中亚的外国女性。

泰国特别调查局（DSI）还对该地区有组织的卖淫网络进行了单独调查。这些案件表明，素坤逸路是打击卖淫和人口贩运的重点区域。

周五的逮捕行动源于投诉、监视和警方的协同部署。七名越南女性被拘留、起诉并移交给移民局。她们现在面临根据《移民法》被驱逐出境和列入黑名单的处境。此次行动使曼谷在素坤逸路沿线持续打击外国街头卖淫活动的案件数量增加了七起。
