A British man has been arrested in Bangkok on charges of buying sex from underage girls following the arrest of two women acting as procurers in Hua Hin last August.

Police arrested James Alexander Oldfield, 35, on Yen Akat Road in Sathon district on Saturday.

The arrest was part of an investigation into the customers of two women who had taken girls aged under 18 to sell sex to tourists in Hua Hin.

The investigation found that Mr Oldfield was among those customers. Investigators learned that he had fled to Bangkok, where they tracked him to a residence in Sathon district.

The suspect denied all charges, but the officers said they had firm evidence against him.
