Police raided a popular pub in Pattaya early on Saturday for remaining open beyond the legal hours and arrested 19 people for alleged drug abuse.

 

Police from Pattaya Police station and the Tourist Police division 2 raided the Pump UP Pattaya pub at 3am after receiving complaints from residents of the neighbourhood that it violated the 2am closing hour rule.

 

When police arrived, they found that some 50 patrons were still drinking and dancing. Twelve women and 7 men tested positive for drugs. They were arrested for further checks before they would be sent for mandatory rehabilitation.

 

Police also found a small amount of ketamine in five zip bags and seven ecstasy pills.

 

Thanakrit Pattanapibul, 26, the pub manager, was arrested for violating the closing time rule for entertainment venues and for allowing drug abuse at the venue under his watch.

 

Police will later propose to the Interior Ministry to close down the pub.

Any raid that can get rid of drugs is a good thing, but they need to catch the dealers or else we'll read about the same next week.

Paying has not been working well lately, Someone has set their eyes on a satellite, so need to raise funds and fast.

 

Daily raids are taking place in Pattaya, if not pubs, then hotels or guesthouses.and massage shops is the next target, the legit ones (no sex) for not having license.

You get arrested and charged. Then sent to court and sentenced to either probation or jail term, depending on how many times you have been busted before

In the UK city where I live, the council could deal with the noise problem, they take away the sound equipment, first offence they can get it back in 28 days...

Please DO NOT COMMENT if you know nothing.

 

First hand experience, unlike you and certainly most people here, I do not speak when I know nothing.

 

Have you ever wondered why people keep riding bikes without helmet ? Because most of the time NOTHING happens, and the worst that could happen is a fine.

 

This is EXACTLY the same situation with drugs. Millions people do drugs without problems, so why would they stop, knowing that the chance to just go home after paying few thousand is the worst that could happen. Not rocket science.

Bad. Useless waste of time and resources.  Raid the complainants homes and see what there up to.  Check their computer hard drives and tax records.

Nobody should be punished for drug use. Genuine addicts need help. Recreational drug users should be left alone. Non need policing as it only corrupts the police and brings the legal system into disrepute.  The only benefits of current drug policies are that it gives a platform to Sanctimonious, holier than thou, hypocrites and ignoramuses who hide behind the skirts of illogical and immoral prohibition and thus feel good about themselves in a life, a wasted life,of barren mediocrity.

I was referring to this: "raided the Pump UP Pattaya pub at 3am after receiving complaints from residents of the neighbourhood that it violated the 2am closing hour rule."

I couldn't care less if they were using drugs.

But they used the closing time rules as an excuse to harass people for drug use 

zi reiterate'l- check the complainants for their legal transgressions and check all the police and their extended families with urine tests.

It is a simple model. Erode the customer base of the business and it will soon close. The problem goes away.
