A raid on a Bangkok nightclub early Friday morning uncovered 40 patrons under age 20, while 92 patrons tested positive for substance abuse, 26 of them under the legal drinking age.

 

 

Officers of Nong Khang Plu precinct, the Office of Narcotics Control Board and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) stormed the 400cc club on Buddhamonthon III Road in Nong Khaem district at 1.30am. There were about 400 patrons on the premises.

 

Twelve discarded methamphetamine pills, five ecstasy pills, 13 sachets of crystal meth (“ice”) and quantities of ketamine powder were picked up off the floor.

 

 

Nong Khang Plu superintendent Pol Colonel Noppadol Kanchanapan said the club had been open for over a year and previous police raids failed because suspected offenders managed to flee.

 

He arranged backup for this operation. 

 

 

Club manager Nanthaporn Roomwisai, 40, is to be summoned to hear charges of operating a night entertainment venue without a proper licence, serving patrons under 20 and allowing drug abuse. 

 

Noppadol said he would recommend that the city police chief take the case to the national police chief and BMA governor in a bid to have the venue shuttered for five years.

Why wasn’t the club closed after previous raids if it had no license ?

I’ll take the blonde on the left

Again????  Over and over again...no license. Yeesh!!!

 

Meanwhile, I'm imagining what the police announce when they arrive in these kinds of raids...

 

OK everyone, we're from the Thai police. Please everyone drop your yaba, Ex, ketamine and various and assorted drugs on the floor so you can all be searched and no one be found in possession of any drugs. Thank you for your cooperation.

 

I wonder who does the sweeping up after these kinds of operations???

You sure? She looks rather stout.

Is there a night club in Thailand that actually has a licence?

Apparently not!

 

Apparently it's easier to just pay off the local plod to look the other way, than to have to mess around with paperwork and applications and the government bureaucracy.

 

TIT after all....

It was not the same club 

But I think nothing will happen 

Make the legal drinking age 18. That would solve half the problem right there.

Because blocking the 2, 3, or possibly 4 exit doors a small one room nightclub has is difficult?
