Police raided a host club in Pattaya in the early hours of yesterday morning and arrested the manager and five Lao men following a complaint about the employment of illegal workers. Four of the accused Lao men denied they were working at the bar and insisted that they were tourists.

 

Officers from Mueang Pattaya Police Station raided the host club, Laon Club Pattaya in Soi Kor Phai 4, at 2am yesterday. Upon entering the premises, officers discovered that the club was still in operation, with 20 Thai visitors present and enjoying music and drinks, despite the club’s supposed closure time of midnight.

The officers also encountered five Lao men, all dressed as club entertainers, during the raid. However, only one of them admitted to working illegally, while the remaining four insisted that they were tourists, despite lacking the necessary documentation.
