A British man accused of organising "swingers" parties in Thailand faces 10 years in jail after police raided a Bangkok hotel where a party was in progress early today.

Christian Arthur Richards, 54, was arrested along with his Thai wife and 22 others – 16 foreigners and six Thais.

Police said that Richards had advertised the "swinging" parties on his website and then charged the couples 3,000 baht (£60) to participate.

The tourist police commander heading the inquiry, Col Archayon Kraithong, said that Richards had been charged with procuring sex and placing commercial sex advertising.

"He is under interrogation, but has been charged with procurement and commercial sex advertisements, which could land him 10 years in jail and a fine of up to 20,000 baht," Col Archayon said.

The 22 participants – from France, Australia, the US, China, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Thailand – were all released after paying fines of 1,000 baht each.

Police raided the two-star Elizabeth Hotel in the Chatuchak area of the Thai capital minutes after midnight, bursting into room 1101.

In the £25-a-night room they found 13 foreign men with three foreign women and seven Thai females. Col Archayon said none of the women were prostitutes.

When the officers entered the 11th floor room they discovered several couples having sex, while the rest of those at the party were drinking and dancing.

Police also discovered condoms, lubricant gels, pornographic books and DVDs and 30 Viagra pills.

Richards and his Thai wife are alleged to have organised more than 100 parties in Bangkok and the beach resort town of Pattaya over the past three years.

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, but the kingdom has a reputation for sleaze and sex tourism. Go-go bars with explicit sex shows form the backdrop for an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of Thai prostitutes.

Last year another British man, Byron Craig, 57, was arrested for running what was said to be a "swingers" sex resort in the northern Thai city of Ubon Thani.

But the Caroline resort seems to have been a front for a brothel were clients paid for sex with young Thai women and cross-dressing "ladyboys".

I am well respected as the queen of parties in both Bangkok and Pattaya with no equal

The party starts at 8.30 pm and is expected to go on past 2 am.

You are not expected to do anything and NO means NO.I have a reputation to uphold so I don't like course people or guys who think its OK to bring a bargirl.

85% of people return again and again, it can described as a secret society of like-minds.

There are couples coming, single guys and a number of single ladies.As I said most already know each other from playing together previously. There are Thai/Thai couples, Caucasian/Caucasian couples, Indian/Indian couples, Chinese couples and mixed couples that regularly join.

I am sure you want to meet like minded singles and couples, to wine and dine and enjoy a night of exploring your sexual fantasies. At my parties the wine flows freely and the juices too( not just orange juice...lol)The ambiance is most conducive to having an erotic night with a 5 star buffet and drinks to help yourself to, music to listen to and sex videos to watch. The lights are dimmed to help those that are shy and new. There are no silly games to start and everybody starts to enjoy what they came for in their own time.
The evening starts normally like a cocktail party with people casually dressed to attract the opposite sex (no jeans or wellington boots) .People eat from the great buffet and help themselves to drinks from the wide selection with no limits and play slowly unfolds at each persons own pace.
It's a great night and well worth coming to, you will see all styles of play. Some couples only play together, some like a single lady to join, some like a single guy, some split-up to play separately. Some ladies like DP, some like anal and some are bi and love 1-on-1 with another lady.

We are a private group of party-goers. The group is modestly run by my hubby and I in Bangkok who have built the group from the ashes of the Passion resort group. It has now reached critical mass where the group can regularly sustain a schedule of regular parties with almost no cancellations. The group consists of 2 chapters, one centred in Bangkok and the other centred in Pattaya. At the week-ends there is a private party every week in a hotel or private villa with pool .For security reasons we do not have a fixed location as in a resort. The week-end parties are focused on couples and in particular bi-wives but single guys are welcome to join .As there a lot of keen single guys we now facilitate a Wednesday MEET THE BOYS party for single ladies and couples that love single guys. All the parties are attended by discreet people and the ambiance is notably friendly and cosy.

People you meet will mostly have been to a party and we are very very friendly and non invasive. As we live in Thailand most ladies are Thai but most men are Caucasian.
We treat all those who come to parties as friends .I have a great rapport with the single ladies who have started to come such that they look forward to coming on a regular basis.

What I am advising you to do is this
1.Pack your 3-band or 4-band mobile phone when you leave.
2.At any 7-11 convenience store buy a prepaid Thai SIM card already loaded with over 30 minutes credit for about $3usd.The assistants will even be kind enough to activate it for you. Then you call me between 9 am and 9 pm.I am a housewife so I like calls I don’t like SMS
SCHEDULE
Every Wednesday I throw a party in Bangkok that you are welcome to join.
Every Saturday I throw a party that you are welcome to join
