Thanks FMH for all the sound advice. I will add one point after my recent dealings with the law. My legal advice explained that you don't (shouldn't) say anything at all to the police without your solicitor with you. You may be derided or hassled but in the long run, if you are an innocent person, you will be ok. And if your not, then get the solicitor fast. In the world we are dealing in the Police are only really interested in criminal activity. They don't get paid more for being nice. They get promoted because they have done something good. Drugs busts are headlines. And in the end the majority of the population consider drugs a scourge on society and are happy for the police to catch drug dealers, suppliers and manufacturers. The problem I experienced was that the truth got lost in the bravado of the arrests. Explanation and interpretation got lost in the language barrier that exists in all our favourite shops. And most WL have a real and genuine fear of police (chinese in particular) and being deported for visa violations. The police will use this fear to their advantage and bingo. You said, they said and before you know anything, someone is under the bus. It is not a crime to visit or partake in a legal brothel. In fact it makes perfect sense if sex is what you chose. Just stay within the law of the day and all will be ok.
