PHUKET: A popular beach club in Patong is under investigation after it was accused of allowing minors (under the age of 20) into the venue and for allegedly holding an event without obtaining the relevant licence.

 

The accusations were made by the administrator of the ‘Spotlight Thailand’ Facebook page, Thammarat Suwannaphisri, who has had a public feud via social media with one of the performers at the event for a while – chart-topping rapper ‘YoungOhm’.

 

The event in question was Australian surfing and sportswear manufacturer, Rip Curl’s 50th-anniversary beach party held at Kudo Beach Club in Patong on Friday (Mar 29).
