Pattaya Police Raid Major Nightclub for Drugs and Overstayers, But Find Nothing Wrong

[webfact]

 

Pattaya, Thailand-Pattaya police raided a major nightclub catering mostly to Thai nationals on Third Road around 1:00 A.M. this morning, August 12th, 2023, but despite disrupting an evening of partying and fun for over a hundred people found nothing wrong.

The raid was conducted at Ying Club, which has been inspected multiple times before recently (also without finding anything wrong).

 

The raid was led by Pol. Col. Thanapong Phothi, the Chief of the Pattaya City Police Station and included about fifty officers from the Pattaya police, tourist police, and Immigration.

 

According to Col. Thanapong the raid was aimed to find foreigners possibly on overstay primarily, but also to find illegal drugs, firearms, or other offenses.

Hardly avoidable looking for overstayers amongst mostly Thais.

What is the going rate for "Nothing wrong" now days?

The story states Drug test to All Staff and Patrons.  

 

Might stop in.  Highlights that their are quality patrons visiting the Club and staying in Pattaya.

 

Hope the process was fast and not to burdensome for them.

Yeah, the only thing they found, was a massive brown envelope by the size of an elephant. Hard to see anything else.

Raiding a club frequented by mostly Thai nationals, looking for foreigners on overstay?

 

Not much money to be extorted or forthcoming in bribes there.

Hmmm guess they’re looking for “Gang of Oldies” …..  but logic tells you impossible after 21:00 bedtime…
