bkk6060 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I bet there are many of these illegal clubs out there. What else but probably people taking, possessing, selling drugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just people having a drink and having fun, just because the guy doesn't have a license, does not equate to it must be selling illegal drugs or full or druggies. You can get drugs in any bar or legal nightclub in any town in any country. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly normal at 3am in many parts of the world. It must be very strange for tourists to come to a country to relax and have fun and find they can enjoy themselves more easily at home. Of course, Thais would have no idea what happens elsewhere and how the country compares unfavourably. Not my thing as I'm an old fart. But most people are not and they enjoy partying into the small hours. Preferably without being raided by the police who ignore far more serious problems. Turning off the music is easy isn't it, and it doesn't stretch their ability as investigating real crimes does. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeymaus Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Obviously the penalties for violating laws and regulations are not severe enough. These entertainment venues don't care and will open the next evening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I think there are many people who like to wake up at 6pm and party till 5am. Not me. In all my youth and single years in the 80's in Denver and Dallas 2am was the legal time and that was late enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they have to work or go to school? Obviously this first class entertainment venue (see picture) is for Thais. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aliflair Posted December 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2022 Quote from the linked article - "This was only the latest in near daily raids on bars and clubs in the Pattaya area. Pattaya police stated they feel these raids make tourists feel safe and secure. A prime focus has been the 2 AM legal closure time in Pattaya." Safe and secure? Huh? If I was a tourist here it would make me feel the opposite, more like scared (of a fine or night of incarceration), intimidated, perplexed, annoyed, but also somewhat amused. I don't recall any of this kind of nonsense from the fuzz prior to Covid, but here we are years later with supposedly the country fully open and no real restrictions but Mr Plod has got nothing better to do. Queue the comments "they are enforcing the law", yeah, whatever, but it's very selective. It's not hard to find somewhere to party until whatever time in Patts should you desire to, so this harassment is probably a function of the missing or underfunded brown envelope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the police are making up for lost time, as it were? How many brown envelopes were 'lost' during Covid, nobody can say, but they need to make up for the shortfall? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Thailand had a police force that 'served and protected' its citizens by rubbing out dangerous drivers instead of feathering their own police stations, I suggest fatal accidents would decrease significantly.
