brianthainess Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) So I count 14 cops to bust 2 employees, out of 123 people. for one horrible scary moment I thought they might have prostitution, as if. sad to say but if they checked 123 young people anywhere they'd probably find more than that and guns.

I was down there nearly every night! Saw Trink many times on our travels! Some great bars down there; Pam's, Shark, Dollhouse, Cactus, Five Star, The Old Dutch, Penny Black upstairs etc... All turned into a bit of a tourist trap neon wonderland now. The charm has definitely been lost. Don't forget Shadow, Darling Bar, Our Place, Blue Bar, Black & White ...... ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you might do if you had been shot by one, been threatened, had your Mrs followed and been blackmailed by one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or be enjoying your favorite beer when the police sweep in and require everyone to pee into cups for drug testing.... That definitely would have been the highlight of my vacation! --------------------- A long long time ago, I was at a mostly Thai night club in Hua Hin when the local police arrived to do one of those raids. Of course, all the announcements were in Thai, so I didn't at first understand what was going on..... At time passed, I came to understand what what occurring. I don't and didn't do drugs, so I didn't have anything to worry about. But I also didn't fancy pissing in a cup for Thai police... So, at one point, as the Thais were lining up for their cups, I just walked out the front door and no one stopped me, so I went on my way.... And we sometimes wonder how all too often, the suspects in this or that case manage to evade the surrounding Thai police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else can you go out for an evening beer and be surrounded by police raiding the bar. Other times, they arrive and close them all down at midnight for no other reason than that they can. Hence Pattaya if family friendly kids eat free! ping pong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sometimes read of people being rounded up from a bar or club and put in the back of a police pick-up (riding in the back of a pick-up is actually illegal, but we don't expect the police to obey the law, do we). And when they arrive at the police station everyone just jumps off and runs away. I love this country. It's like living in a lunatic asylum. Sometimes it's dangerous but it also provides plenty of laughs from the antics of the inmates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I don't know if it is true, but rumour has it that a very large and "unsubtle" bar adjacent to "Soi Cowboy" is owned by the constabulary. Could it be that the competition needed to be quietened down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed so much since the good old 90s. Much more fun & easy-going back then. Also about 95% of customers were westerners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
