suthnuh Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Was recently informed the local plod performed a roundup on Walking street. Roundup reportedly occured at around 4am 18 Feb. Strange twist to the story seems to be that the people rounded up were not in bars, gogo's, discos, restaurants or other business. Some of them appear to have been only walking down the street with a Thai woman and got nabbed. Can anyone confirm this story? It was apparently printed in the Thai newspaper, but I can't find any English information anywhere on why it happened. Cheers mates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suthnuh Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Sorry amigo. I thought the line "Some of them appear to have been only walking down the street with a Thai woman and got nabbed" was enough. From what I'm told all the ones rounded up by the plod were farangs walking with Thai women. Again, I'm told they were not in bars, gogos, or anything. They were simply on Walking street... on the street itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Sounds like BS to me. Only round-up as of late were katoeys on beach rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo9 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have no idea but I heard that last weekend Bangkok Police was in town many places shut down at 3 am. Well, when I walked home around 4 am I saw nothing suspicious, but this might have been due to a few drinks too much :-) If you see how dead Bangkok now is after 1 am, I am really happy to stay here....

I don't know if there is any connection with the incident you mention, but I know for a fact (I was there) the police shut down the Europa Disco at 4am on 17 Feb.

tropo Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The Europa disco was closed again by police at around 4am this morning. I'm not sure why. It may have something to do with their operating hours of 3am to 6am. I don't know if they hit Tonys Disco too, but they normally close around 4am. There's definitely a lot of police activity around the bars right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
