Phuket – Law enforcement officers raided a bar in Phuket town after it allegedly illegally opened and sold alcohol past the legal time.


A team of officers from the Mueang Phuket District and the Phuket City Police raided a bar on Chana Jaroen Road in Talad Yai sub-district after midnight today (February 23rd).

 

More than 200 people were found inside the bar.

 

The Phuket City Police told the Phuket Express that they arrested Mr. Wisarut, 27, a bar manager.

My days of out boozing at 2 am are behind me - especially after quickly finding out there are no good looking women there at that time (or already full up short time returnees !) - but if there is still a market for late night boozing and its away from me, they should take advantage of it

The bars at the back of Soi 22 Queen's Park Plaza. The mamasan would draw the curtains and say "leaving already?" You were then free to continue whatever you were up to with the lovely staff, drinking or otherwise, until nearly sunrise. Good times. Yeah, I also don't have that in me anymore.

Why is there the need to "Raid" a bar who's only sin is staying open beyond the hours? just issue a penalty notice and a warning and keep the "raids" for much more nefarious crimes.

all very positive for future tourism 

 

go out for a night and risk getting arrested - what are these idiots thinking 

 

lacking grey is all I can think of for now 

 

they think people don't notice this nonsense - well I have news for you .... they do and everyone I know who has recently returned here for a holiday have had a shocking wake up and won't be back until they are 100% convinced that they can go out for a night withought running the risk of being arrested

still nice to have the choice, pre covid there was zero harrassment, what people don't seem to realise is just how bad it is - yeah drink behind locked doors in secret constantly hiding from the police who should be out catching drunk drivers at 2am instead they are chasing tourists, we all know why

The topic is not about Pattaya. I know. But it is about raiding bars - wherever. I understand your suffering. Really.

 

Yesterday I walked through Tree Town here in Pattaya at about 11pm. Most bars didn't have many customers. If you remove the many ladies who work there it would have looked even emptier.  

 

I was wondering how many of all tourists who come to Thailand ever go to nightlife venues and how many of them have a problem if they can't party until the early hours. I guess it's a tiny fraction of all tourists who come to Thailand. Are these tourists really that important for the Thai tourism? 

 

So what can be done to make everyone happy? They should create zones were such people can have fun 24 hours without disturbing others. Such areas can also be easily controlled by a handful of police officers. I guess this would be the easiest.

yes it's called Pattaya lol

 

I have been here a very long time and I don't mean holiday, my last trip home to UK was 10 years ago for a 2 week holiday, I guess I notice what's going on more than most.

 

The current leaders are very obviously pushing their own agenda
