In a pre-dawn raid on April 8, law enforcement officials, spearheaded by Police Colonel Anek Srathongyu, targeted a host bar in Pattaya for operating beyond permitted hours. The crackdown occurred at 2.36am and was a joint effort by the Pattaya City Police, special operations officers, and Bang Lamung district authorities, including Nattapop Yomjinda, Natthawat Sophonsawetasilp, and Tharit Chancharoen.

 

The raid was initiated following public complaints about the South Pattaya venue located in Bongkot alley. Reports indicated the establishment was exceeding allowed operational times and playing excessively loud music. Upon arrival, officials confirmed the venue was still active, although it hosted only a few patrons at that hour.

 

 

 

Authorities promptly ordered the closure of operations, turning on lights and stopping recorded music. Patrons underwent identity verification and drug screening, with no illegal substances or illicit activities discovered during the checks.

 

The establishment's inability to produce requisite documentation led to the detention of the manager, who now faces further legal action. The operation underscores local law enforcement's commitment to enforcing compliance with operational regulations for entertainment venues in Pattaya, reported The Thaiger.

And not paying the normal fee to the fearless guardians of our family orientated sea side resort.

I go to a shop on Bongkot a couple of times a month around 7am, sit out the front with some guys I used to work with, drink a few beers. 

 

This soi is alive with loud music and drunks until around 8.30am.

So I wonder why the cops decided to pick on this one?

So many places to choose from 😁

Always puzzled when I drive along Khopai Rd at like 9 AM and there is happy party time.

 

On Bongkok 8 where the road splits there is a big beer garden like place (open air) in full swing at similar times.

I've been living in the area since 2001, nice and quiet back then.

 

Around the time Xzyte nightclub closed down these small nightclubs started opening.

 

They've appeared on Soi Kophai too, Weekdays I travel along this road to Pattaya Tai, it's nightmare taking the kids to school in the morning. 

 

My house is not too far from the DIRTY Nightclub 😂

The cops visit these clubs occasionally.

I worked with these guys offshore Songkhla for a couple of years, good Thai guys. 

 

They still work offshore Songkhla, on their 4 weeks off they are Bolt drivers, working nights, good money. 

I have a few beers with them after they finish their shift

Yeah, that never happens. They must not have paid their monthly installment...

I can never understand why they advertise they are breaking the law..

In my day a lock-in was normal, but it was quiet and with dimmed lights.

When will RTP become consistent and law abiding, obviously the bar didnt put enough in the brown envelope!! Thailand when will you rise above all this corruption, it is endemic in your society and will continually disadvantage your nations 3rd world status society!! 

[Reddavy]

Lae with the brown envelope???? This is what happens 🤷🏼

[blaze master]

Another round of grandstanding and pretend policing. Nothing about Pattayas pristine image being tarnished ?
