Police raid "sauna" in Rachada - tourists test positive for drugs as cops decide what to do

 

Picture: TNA

 

Following complaints that tourists and locals were up to no good the Huay Kwang police decided to raid a four story establishment in Rachada Soi 3 yesterday.

 

They found a lot of men in singlets and shorts milling about.

 

There were empty condom packets on the sofa, on the floor and in the toilets.

 

The cops said that the place was used by Thai and foreign men.

 

TNA said that the management had applied for a license to sell food, soft drinks and alcohol in 2015. It was run as a sauna-cum-fitness center, they said.

 

In their headline they said that the place had not had a licence since 2015.

 

Adding to the confusion many of the tourists managed to slip out while the investigation was ongoing.

 

Some who were tested for drugs returned a purple result.

 

An unnamed officer from the Huay Kwang police said they would have their samples rechecked at a hospital and that the operation was ongoing.

 

No name was given of any police or the establishment itself.

 

TNA stands for Thai News Agency.

Funny turn of phrase --  It was run as a sauna-cum-fitness center, they said.

You are reading my mind! Just wondering what they mean: "sauna-cum" in an fitness club or "cum-fitness" in a sauna

[sammieuk1]

That probably answers the cum bit.

They raided a short time hook up joint.  Yet they don't raid the common brothels found above many bars and karaoke clubs.

Methinks someone didn't pay his "fee".

And: 'Adding to the confusion many of the tourists managed to slip out while the investigation was ongoing.' Keystone indeed.

Could be worse. I know of such a "club" in the U.S. that bans people over 50 entirely. No, it's not nice, but you can see where they're coming from. The customers are basically their product. Like Facebook!
