Australian promised sex tour with prostitutes on boat in Pattaya – drugs also involved

An Australian man has been arrested in Thailand who police say offered a sex tour in Pattaya.

They are also saying that Stephen Allan Carpenter, 49, is mixed up in smuggling cocaine into Australia in golf equipment.

He was arrested on a warrant for pimping at a house in Nong Yang Seua sub-district of Muak Lek, Saraburi at the weekend.

So far he has not responded to the claims saying that he does not understand the language being used. But he acknowledged that he was the person named in the Pattaya warrant.

Police say that in December of last year he posted a picture of a naked girl with a man on Facebook. On 31st December under the name of “AUSTHAI TOURS” he advertised a boat trip with women supplied in the sea off Pattaya.

Contact was made in a sting operation through Line. A bank account number was supplied and a fee of 38,000 baht was agreed.

The warrant citing charges of offering sex services was issued on June 14th after a deposit was made for half the money, 19,000 baht.

Police allege that Mr Carpenter was illegally running a tour company and is even on overstay. He is now in the custody of the Pattaya police.

Cops say they have clear evidence that with others he imported cocaine in golf club shafts and golf bags into Australia.
