Bangkok cops raid Vietnamese party central

By THE NATION

 

 

Police raided a commercial building in Bangkok’s Suanluang district early Wednesday morning (January 1) and discovered an unlicensed bar where drinks were being served illegally to an almost exclusively Vietnamese clientele amid loud music and dancing.

 

 

Among the more than 100 revellers, 11 were found to be illegal immigrants and six had overstayed their visas. They face prosecution.

Police logged the names of everyone else on the premises.

 

It was not immediately clear who organised the parties or whether charges will be laid regarding the gatherings.

 

Immigration Police chief Lt-General Sompong Chingduang, briefing reporters on Friday (January 3) about the raid, said an informant had alerted officials to the building on Pattanakarn Road where after-hour parties were held.

 

Residents told police that Vietnamese youths regularly gathered at the building after the local pubs closed at around 2am.

As loud as Thai music ? I doubt, it's nearly impossible.

And compare sublime Vietnamese music to Thai noise....

 

I don't think any Thai singer, apart from Tai Orathai, can sing right.
It is generally a disgusting cacophony.

"Among the more than 100 revellers, 11 were found to be illegal immigrants and six had overstayed their visas."

 

More than 100 Vietnamese and only 17 of them were in Thailand illegally, in one form or another? Or did those 17 just not have enough money on them to pay off the police on the spot?

But if a bar was set-up selling the drinks then it falls into an unlicensed premises!

I wonder why the word gambling is missing?

keep calling that immigration free reporting number...

I'm being told that some of those present were fined 20,000 bt. I thought that was the normal level of 'fine' for overstaying Vietnamese. It seems high for attending an unlicensed party venue. Anyone have any info?

Them Vietnamese are going to go back and tell everyone what a fine upstanding law abiding country Thailand is, "NO <deleted> Parties"
