Authorities arrive to bust saucy "Towel Party" - but raiding party comes too early

 

Picture: Manager Online

 

Following social media reports of a "towel party" at a Phuket nightclub on social media the provincial governor sent in his minions to make a bust.

 

But manager reported that the local officials who raided "Raan Kha Nom" near the old bus station on Pangnga Road got there before the action really started.

 

The club had advertised "free booze, free food and dozens of towel only clad pretties and coyotes all night" peeking the interest of the governor who thought there was mischief afoot.

 

But when the authorities arrived at 9.30pm Saturday there were just a few pretties in towels and nothing much happening.

 

The authorities were left with nothing to do except warn the club to shut at 12 according to the license. Everything was in order and no laws were being broken so they left empty handed.

 

Manager's story suggested that the authorities had deliberately come early to make a show of a bust knowing full well that there would be no problems at that time.

Luckily, some towels were handy to wipe the evidence.

Why raid at all? Since when is it against the Thai law to announce a towel party, with people dressed in towels?

'Raiding party comes to early'- I hate it when that happens.

There were rumours of a dart board on the premises !!

Saucy. The most old fashioned word to describe it.
My dearly departed grandmother would be proud it's still in use to this day.

So there's no need to throw in the towel then

The cops didn't leave empty handed I saw the CCTV. They all carried in their hands towels as evidence! :-)

[Media1]

All payments were up.to.date... No business here next.

So the governor's interest was in 'peeking'? Trying to shut it down seems an odd way to go about it...

Well, if it hadn't piqued his interest, he must have been hoping for a peek.

Thai Police raid towel party on Pattaya Beach. 1,063 people arrested and their details taken down....

Having my breakfast this morning, and realized that for many people on this forum, the site of a girl walking around dressed in nothing but a towel is a daily occurrence.  When Thai girls are not wearing short jeans and a T shirt, they are normally wearing a towel.  But I admit that old slippers are more common than heels.

Rather 30 minutes AFTER the cops left [emoji15]

With all those towels there'd need to be a major whitewash after the party.

Sh*t, is wearing a towel illegal in Thailand? Now I'm worried that they'll come knocking on my door...
