I was thinking the same thing - how many BTF members will suddenly stop posting for a couple of weeks 
Seriously, though, I'm a bit confused by what statutes the cops claim to make these arrests? If it was a singer party, then there was no actual prostitution going on, no pimping -- and since when can I not have a couple of friends over to my condo, and have everyone get into the spirit of an orgy?
Consenting adults and all that? What law was broken?

Good question Ducky.
Is there some kind of vague "morality" law on the books in Thailand?

The organisers charge for attending, so it may be something to do with that. They advertise on craigslist a lot, and run them every Wednesday in Bangkok and alternate Saturdays in Bangkok then Pattaya.

Here's another article (with a little more insight in the accusations (from Yahoo News) :
'BANGKOK (AFP) – A British man was charged in Thailand Thursday for organising so-called "swinging" parties during which couples swap sexual partners, tourist police said.
Christian Arthur Richards, 54, was arrested early Thursday along with six Thais and 16 foreigners including US, French, Indian and Chinese citizens at one of the parties in a Bangkok hotel.
Tourist police commander Colonel Archayon Kraithong said Richards advertised the orgies on his website, and then charged 3,000 baht (85 dollars) for couples and singles to participate.
"He is under interrogation, but has been charged with procurement and commercial sex advertisements, which could land him 10 years jail term or a fine of up to 20,000 baht (570 dollars)," Archayon told AFP.
The 22 participants from Thailand, China, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, France, the United States and Australia were all released after paying fines of up to 1,000 baht, Archayon added.
Richards, who is married to a Thai woman, is alleged to have organised at least 100 swinging parties in Bangkok and the seamy resort town of Pattaya over the last three years.
Although prostitution is officially illegal in Thailand, the kingdom has a reputation for its sleazy bars and explicit sex shows, and the sex tourism industry here is believed to employ hundreds of thousands of Thais.
Archayon said there were no prostitutes at the swinging party.'

Quote: from DrLove on 3:23 pm on Feb. 5, 2009
...procurement and commercial sex advertisements...
Odd laws... I guess it's the advertising and collecting payments that they can get him for, on multiple different levels, not the least of which is probably 'working without a work permit', 'evading taxes' (as I assume he didn't declare any of that revenue), etc...
Kinda dumb advertising it all over the web - I wonder if Riceman was amongst those arrested, though I somehow doubt it very much...
(Jingjo, what the hell are you going on about...???)

I note that the 22 orgy participants were discharged "after paying fines of up to 1000 baht".
I think TBIB should be highly commended for their restraint and moderation.
