Popular Post webfact Posted November 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2022 Daily News Thai Cap: Open until dawn! Daily News reported on a raid by Region 2 and Muang Pattaya police on a club in South Pattaya this morning. The Posh 69 Club in Soi Bongkot had been opening to dawn. Picture: Daily News At 4.30 am this morning the cops found many cars and motorbikes parked outside and loud music coming from the venue. This was turned off and everyone present - more than 100 men and women - had urine tests for drugs. Picture: Daily News 15 came back with purple or positive results. These people along with the manager were taken away to the Muang Police station. Suspected drugs in ziplock bags were found in the toilets and by a fire exit. Searches of vehicles in the parking lot found nothing illegal. Electronic cigarette items were found in a room in the club. Picture: Daily News The pub is being prosecuted for not having a license, having no license to serve alcohol, allowing drug taking on the premises and contravening regulations regarding e-cigarettes and shisha. The media further noted that despite not having a number the property was still attached to utilities such as water and electric. Representations are being made to the governor of Chonburi to have the club shut down for good. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-11-28 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post biervoormij Posted November 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2022 I am surprised at all the mass drug testing. Do you have to submit to a drug test anytime the police ask for one? Does everyone have to stand in line while a cop watches them pee on a stick or is there a different type of test? 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a cop asked you for a drug test would you pee on a stick for him? Is it only required to submit to a drug test if you are in a club that is open after hours? This has been happening in Thailand for ages mate, why are you surprised? tbh I don't know how they pick their targets. Local police know what's what so when the big boss Pol Maj Gen from Region 2 comes in to "take over" does he tell the locals to cough up a few names for show or does he get his boys to do some actual legwork? Clubs that flaunt closing times are a good target for drug raids. Once you get on the drugs you want to party all night so it makes sense that you'd find more drug takers at such places. As opposed to say, the Christian Science Reading Room. I stopped taking illicit drugs a long time ago and even if I were to start again these Thai clubs don't float my boat. So I have no reason to try and figure out what the best tactic is if you're caught up in a raid. But from what I've picked up over the years you don't have much of a choice, especially in this case where the Regional police big boss is on some kind of holy mission. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drug test can be requested for any suspicion of drug use. Being in an illegal club during banned hours, I suspect, constitutes enough suspicion. That said, I believe you are within your rights to insist the test be performed at the police station. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club doesn't need to be open after hours either. Random drug tests have been carried out in WS bars for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Pre Covid days the plod in Hua Hin used to set up a road block between soi 94, and 102. They would then test everyone they stopped for drugs. Nowadays they are still there nearly every night but only check for alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Ironic that this anti-drug activity should be taking place against the backdrop of liberalisation of cannabis consumption (maybe temporary).

Nope you got it wrong. Watch for the grand opening of ไม่ธรรมดา 96 owned by different owners with different names but funded by the current owners. The new owners willget all the licences that is why it will not open right away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nation of mixed and uncoordinated messages. Not really a mixed message. The drugs that they are testing for are YABA and it's friends I think that more tourists and foreingers use cannabis than Thais. The drug of choice of youg Thais is YABA.
