News: Police Shut Down Fiwfans Site In Recent Crackdown
Thai police have dismantled the Fiwfans online platform, which authorities allege was involved in human trafficking. The operation took place on January 24.
Fiwfans had been operating for several years, with about 46,000 women selling sexual services. They also shut down its rival website, SidelineThailand.
What Was Fiwfans?
Fiwfans is a classified Thai website that helps to get in contact with thousands of young escorts throughout Thailand.
The funny thing is, their homepage says that they don’t sell sexual services but that’s all you see there.
Another interesting part is the girls should offer their services after lessons/work. On the side to earn extra money, but the reality is different.
Basically the majority of girls work full time for an agency. They get accommodations in several hotels around the city. It’s basically an online brothel.
They don’t do incalls, and they are available from 10 am until 2 am. As you can see, there is no time to go to school or the office.
Yet, there are a few independent freelancers on the site.
Why Fiwfans Was So Popular?
It was cheaper than booking girls on foreign escort sites. On average, the price for sex was 1300 Baht per hour.
It’s trustworthy because the profile pictures were real girls. No bait and switch was happening.
The variety of services offered was incredible. Girls were offering sex without a condom for a fee, anal, and so on.
Pimps And Girls
The girls were affiliated with different clubs, soapy massage parlors, and escort organizations.
Or with modeling agencies (pimps)…
Then you had the girls…
The Tourist Leaderboards
Fiwfans had a Tourist Leaderboard where the customers were reviewing the girls…
This is based on rankings from users who upload photos of girls and share their reviews.
I won’t dive into the details of how points are awarded, but you can browse the reviews on top leader profiles.
Some users even post pictures, giving you a better idea of how the girl looks in a natural setting.
Costs and Payments
Fiwfans was offering low prices compared to many international escort sites. This is mainly because it works as a local escort platform.
Think of it as online listings for brothels, where most girls are based in hotels around Bangkok and Pattaya, instead of having their own places.
Here’s a simple breakdown of common rates for full service:
- 30 minutes: 1,100 THB (one session)
- 40 minutes: 1,200 THB (one session)
- 60 minutes: 1,300 THB (often two shots)
Many profiles also list extra services for an additional fee, usually between 200 to 300 THB. Some girls share what they will and won’t do, which helps set clear expectations.
Payments usually include the room in the all-in fee. You can find rates starting under 1,000 THB for a short visit, which is much cheaper than what you’d pay in areas like Sukhumvit. However, keep in mind that overnight prices can reach 7,000 THB or more.
These rates are averages, and you might see differences in pricing and services from one girl to another but nothing too drastic for incalls. However, some outcalls may charge 2,500 baht + taxi, but it’s rare.
I gathered these rates by reviewing several profiles. You can find a more detailed example below.
By the way, most girls only accept payment in cash, except for a few who work with agencies.
Make sure to prepare the amount in advance and pay her as soon as she arrives.
