Popular Post webfact Posted February 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2022 By Adam Judd Bali Hai Pier, Pattaya-Pattaya Police raided a restaurant on Bali Hai Pier around 10:30 P.M. last night for allegedly selling shisha (also known as baraku or hookah pipes) which is highly illegal in Thailand. The restaurant in question, Khun Keng Kitchen, is directly next door to the currently shuttered Sky Mountain which was previously raided for a variety of offenses over the past several months six times, including shisha. It was unclear if the two venues were connected but Pattaya police said they were looking into this. Last night’s raids were personally led by Pattaya City Police Chief Kunlachart Kunlachai who stated that Pattaya police received a tip from a “concerned citizen” that the restaurant was selling shisha against Thai law. This concerned citizen claimed they were reporting the incident because they cared about people’s health and the potential spread of Covid-19.
