And I thought that 4 AM is the legal closing time for such venues?

So why shouldn't they close "these days" with the new city regime and the ever increasing raids.

Wasn't there a raid already on insomnia?

Police cracking down on these 2 clubs?

Not only these 2 and not always police.

Many "Thai only" clubs have been raided by Banglamung authorities for over hours, under age drinking etc.

And today 808 closed before 3:30am and Flexx around 4:30am when yesterday they were all open the usual time. Man this city has gone to shithole since 2 months ago where everything was all good

That must be a sign to go home

unprovoked?

they started it by pushing the thai guy and then she punches him in the face.

ThaiVisa has terrible journalistic standards. Did you even watch the video before writing the article?

You are either kidding or drunk. He brushed his arm as he tried to walk past a staggering man in a crowd. If you think that is pushing him l am staggered.

Originally reported (and still on some international news sites) as a gang of youths. 32 year old 'youths' ! What a disgrace.

Another scumbag in the land of smiles. There are so many sadly

Only bars and restaurants that are not owned by Military, government officials or police are deemed to be close to educational institutes

This law now leaves it completely open for extortion at the discretion of the police. And this Govt claims it is clamping down on extortion and corruption. What a joke!!!!! Again a world wide laughing stock.

Another 2 years to improve the bank accounts. Country will be on its knees by then. Almost dead and dusted now

China, North Korea, Thailand

China is moving towards democracy in this area. Which leaves Thailand and Nth Korea. Another nail in the coffin of Thai democracy

Spoilt rotten scum bag who thinks he can do what he likes. Surprise, surprise he is the son of a former Thai beauty queen and a leading businessman and nephew of a powerful top police general. Two years are not long enough. Hope he meets some real friendly bodies in prison

Chalk and cheese. Soi 6 is over rated in my opinion. Many better places in Pattaya and Jomtien than Soi6. My mates never venture there anymore.

Everett is spot on

Thailand aims to win the next FIFA World Cup Final!! Good to aim high

Totally unacceptable. But; l have to laugh at Thais complaining about this when you see Thai men doing it daily where ever and when ever. Talk about 'the pot calling the kettle black'

Beaches being empty has nothing to do with Jet ski's not being there. It is purely an indication of drop in tourist numbers

Why cant business help these police with some food. The retail price of some rice and Gop is very inexpensive for them. And police dont get paid enough. They barely survive. Very kineow. But when they have a problem the first friend they call is a policeman....

Are you serious!!!. I certainly hope not.You obviously support extortion. Which makes one think what you do yourself

no budget left for security doors like you see in many civilized countries ?

Bangkok BTS is the only open air platforms I have seen with security doors.

A few weeks ago I was at the station in Cologne airport which is only a couple of years old, no security doors there so I have to assume that Germany along with the rest of Europe are not civilised countries.

Very few countries have the security doors from my experience. They barely exist in Aust if at all. Correct me if l am wrong

No wonder Thai Visa has lost credibility with so many farangs making feeble attempts to be funny and cynical. The same people can never make a positive response

I think when finished it will look quite good and hopefully control the erosion. But l cannot believe they slaughtered all the trees that produce shade and oxygen along this very polluted strip. On top of that we have the 'umbrella free Wednesday' Every Wed the beach is deserted even more so since the beautiful trees that provided shade have been reduced to woodchip to line someones pocket.

Loss of face AGAIN!!!!!

Sadly City Hall is another toothless tiger. Everybody knows the police are in on it. So where is the Government who promised to clamp down on corruption. This is a simple exercise as it is out in the open and everybody knows who is involved

Another scumbag in LOS.... Not Land of smiles

Why is she not in jail for manslaughter

There is going to be a lot of empty schools

Thailand 555 That is exactly how most of the world perceives this country. Now this is so open for law enforcement to charge who and where they wish. And this|Govt stood up and said it would stamp out corruption....LOS

Well that means a good percentage of the Police and military will no longer be able to travel overseas.
