Pattaya police raid popular popular entertainment venues

Police in Pattaya on Saturday raided scores of bars and nightclubs in the city to ensure venues were not opening later than midnight.

 

Police said venues were adhering to the rule regarding midnight closing.

 

However, police said that during a raid on a club Phetchakut Road four bags containing white powder were found discarded on the toilet floor. Police have sent the bags for testing to determine the contents. 

 

Police also visited venues on Second Road and Walking Street just after midnight and found that bars had either already closed or staff in the process of closing the bar. None were found to still be serving customers.

 

The order for bars and clubs in the city at midnight came into effect after Chonburi was officially recognised as a ‘yellow zone’ by Thailand's Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA). While entertainment venues are permitted to open, they must be closed by midnight.

As shown on the picture masks and social distancing all over the place. The same what I observe every night at the endless open air bars here in Pattaya. The fight against Corona in Thailand is amazing. Almost zero cases with such strict measures. Science should learn from this. Boris on your cold and wet island - is this not amazing?

Now I understand why my "GF" tells me that she is asleep one hour earlier on the "Farm" in Sisaket.  So happy she is being responsible.

They're just practising for when the tourists return. They know foreigners love nothing more than seeing men in uniform storm a place where they're just having an innocent drink, adding to the excitement of their holiday. And those in uniform don't need the excuse of Covid restrictions to do it. They do it just because they can.

Not sure that I would classify checking that bars are closed on time as a 'raid'.

I guess whenever they can't do what they want and the police disturbs them it is a 'raid' for them.

Very true.

When I ran a GoGo bar in Pattaya, the soi nine police we paid always told us when there was a clampdown imminent, or if the Bangkok police were going to be 'visiting'.
