I think the recent law change, means you cannot smoke weed in bars or shops that sell weed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeymaus Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 What surprises me is that the police are doing a lot of law enforcement at the moment. What has changed? If they keep it up, they might not only find hookahs but even hookers on Walking Street one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in addition the Hookahs. The police enforced the law ????????????. Blame the club that obviously does not care about laws. This is very bad behaviour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbi1 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Geez, now they are raiding tourist clubs on Walking St. Great image for the tourists in high season, all clubs being closed around 2am-3am and clubs being raided. Tourists, don't bother coming to Thailand. They don't want you to spend your money here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting beyond ridiculous now. Nothing is open, everything is being shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbi1 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 "Detained was the club manager who was charged with operating a club and selling alcohol beyond the shut down time" Funny how only Flexx had this issue. Insomnia, Myst, and all the other clubs on Walking St were also opened to 3am until the cops came to shut them all down, but none of them seem to have been charged.

mikebell Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Things must be serious if the club is named & no attempt was made to censor Fahrenheit from the other fracas. It's the latest weapon in the police armory; Pay or Be Named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
