You mean it should have been the ‘Soi Cowboy Police’ who made the arrests ?

Cowboy police, all right!

Guy deserves to be arrested for wearing the wife beater  phuket vest.

 

There should be a Universal Rule on Age and Girth Restrictions on sale of Vest ‘s

This will surely do wonders for promoting tourism.

What would happen if they were all tourist? If they sent pictures back to their home country from jail. Would more tourist come?

I lived in Soi 23 for a while to me its Sukhumvit, unless there is a soi 23 around Thonglor

Yes "Sukhumvit". To me it's "Asoke" area, but it falls under Thonglor BIB. Think "Lower Sukhumvit" ends at 21 (Asoke) which is Lumpini BIB. "Upper Suk" begins after 21 and is Thonglor BIB.

This is Kazy Kozy which is on Soi Cowboy.

 

Apparently there has been some movement of top coppers at Thonglor...so the new lot are showing who's boss...

 

I always thought that this was owned by "Police" along with "Crazy House" (which somehow managed to open on a main road despite not having licences?) so they were pretty much "untouchable"?

Was in the process of typing when you did a better job of clearing this up. Kazy Kozy has been open for a while, though I personally never visited there during the lockdown.

Reportedly, in recent times, as 'hip' as Kabul at night...

Kabul is more fun. Don't underestimate just how fetching a full-body abaiya can be.

 

It is said a woman is at her sexiest when she leaves something to the imagination. In Kabul, women leave EVERYTHING to the imagination.

[Dogmatix]

Never liked the place it looks like.. Always crammed with Chinese tourists chain smoking cigarettes and very aggressive mamasans going after cash. Some of the girls were very new to the trade and would openly admit to being 16 or 17, if asked In Thai. They claimed there were 15 year olds too. The mamasan  had not even trained them to lie about their age yet. Looked in once at 3.00 am and still open. Young dancers looked dazed and obviously out of their heads on something to keep them going. The bouncers opened the doors often to allow passing cars to see naked dancers on stage. Operating with that degree of impunity obviously not possible without police involvement but the annual police reshuffle just took place. So time to renegotiate. I decided never to step foot in the place again after a couple of visits. It has an upstairs section which they were obviously operating semi clandestinely.

Was there a problem?  From the picture how they got there on the BTS probably was more dangerous aside from the alcohol?  ????

with alcohol having the same status as drugs a lot of people will be criminalized, a lot of real criminals will get rich and the brown shirts get even more corrupt.

Sounds like we need Eliot Nes

Looks familiar.  Crazy kind of place.  But is Soi 23 Thonglor?

Exactly, on the one hand it is officially a restaurant according to a sign on the wall outside, so should be allowed to serve alcohol? On the other hand it seemed to be Bangkok lore that it was allowed to operate as a throwback to less covered up times BECAUSE it was owned by a ....well I am sure you can guess.

 

I think Thonglor district starts midway between Ashok and Nana. it was always that Nana was raunchier and Cowboy tamer because different police districts, but that has reversed.

 

I remember when a Police Sergeant would turn up and sit at a table at the back of the Old Thermae. Tourists probably thought he was watching for wrongdoing, when in fact he was there to reassure clients that they were under a certain protection so to speak.

For sure with thousands of tourists coming in.

 

There going to want to booze it up.

 

.... They'll be plenty of Thais willing to risk a 20,000 baht fine to make a killing with pop up parties.

[crazykopite]

At my local walk in street market last Saturday there were well over 300+ people squeezed together within cms of each other so what’s the difference or can you only get Covid because your in a room drinking beer and having a dance “ The Mind Boggles “

I see what you're sating, but i don't think most tourists would come here and beak the law like these people have done

[maddermax]

The cops won't have a leg to stand on if none of those arrested contract Covid-19, the reason for the bar shutdowns.

[Tom Parkinson]

There is no bar mentioned. The picture could be a stock picture unrelated to the claimed offence. This whole story could simply be a warning from the Thonglor police. There is no proof that the claimed incident actually happened.
