Briton faces jail over Thai sex resort
A Briton who set up a swingers club in rural Thailand faces jail for promoting sex tourism.
Anthony Craig is under investigation for charging guests £100 a night for sex with unlimited partners, including girls aged 18 to 25 and transsexual 'ladyboys'.
The 57-year-old says on his website that all his sex workers are anxious to meet foreigners and 'sh*g like rabbits'.
Guests are picked up discreetly from Udon Thani airport and taken to Resort Caroline in the remote Nong Saeng district, five miles from the nearest village.
Mr Craig, who with Thai wife Lampan, 31, is on £4,600 bail, says in his promotional literature: 'I have helped village girls find fun and rich western boyfriends and husbands.
'My hedonistic business is aimed at soft-play couples and shy single men. It started off as a nudist resort and my guests sort of changed things. My ethos is live and let live.'
The former builder, from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, adds that he only allows people over 18 to take part in the orgies and he never joins in.
'I make more friends than enemies but my enemies are the unseen bigots that condemn my way of life because of their myopic outlook,' he says.
About 6,000 swingers, mainly from Britain, are thought to have visited the resort since it opened four years ago. Its gatehouse is manned by Mr Craig's Thai mother-in-law.
Police chief Teerasak Krinponsa said: 'These swingers and this resort are giving Thailand a bad name.'

It's one thing when a Thai owns the place and pays a bribe to the police. But when a foreigner owns the place and does all of his business via the internet (thus leaving the police out of the loop) that makes it a major crime. Dumb farang...
