Pattaya police raided a bar on Walking Street last night for selling balloons filled with laughing gas and arrested five individuals.

The raid was carried out by a team of Pattaya police on the night of August 12th, 2024. The police raided a small bar on Pattaya’s iconic Walking Street following a tip-off from concerned citizens. The citizens reported that the bar was allegedly selling laughing gas to Thai and foreign tourists.

 

At the bar, authorities arrested 25-year-old cashier Ms. Jutharat (surname withheld by police), 27-year-old Myanmar national Mr. Ye Te, and three other Myanmar employees.

 

The police seized a large amount of evidence, including three balloons filled with laughing gas, 29 used balloons, 38 tickets used for exchanging balloons, 80 ticket books, valves for the gas tanks, a gas gun, 14 tanks of laughing gas (nitrous oxide), sales records, and seven receipts. Police also found that the premises has a secret room for customers and a back room converted into a gas filling area.

I hope the investigation goes further to arrest the owner, instead of just the employees who were probably doing as they were instructed to do?

cops are so lucky to have so many concerned citizens in Thailand.

why aren't these citizens concerned about all the Thai scammers and cheats?   oh I forgot '    that's different.  

Don't they sell those small disposable ones like they use in the west, by the thousand.

The police in Pattaya can find laughing gas on Walking Street, but not any prostitutes.   Amazing Thailand.
