In a display of unity and national pride, the “Jalwa Club,” a popular Indian-themed nightclub on Walking Street in Pattaya, electrified the night with the resounding sound of the Thai national anthem. The unusual gesture took place amid growing tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border.

 

As the anthem echoed through the club’s vibrant interior, Thai and foreign tourists alike stood together, many waving Thai flags and singing. The atmosphere, typically reserved for revelry and dance, was transformed into a moment of solemn solidarity.

 

 

The patriotic tribute was organised to boost morale and express support for Thai military personnel and civilians stationed in the increasingly volatile border zones. With reports of clashes and heightened military readiness dominating national headlines, the nightclub’s act was welcomed by many as a heartfelt message of encouragement to those on the frontline.

 

“We want to show that the whole nation is behind our soldiers and the people in the conflict areas,” said a staff member at Jalwa Club. “Even here in Pattaya, we feel the need to stand together.”

 

The impromptu anthem performance drew praise on social media, with video clips quickly going viral and being widely shared by netizens expressing admiration for the show of national unity during a difficult time.

Glad I saw you post before I wrote anything.

 

Jingoism is horrific. It quickly leads to the inability of the masses to think rationally.......generals and politicians love it.

Yes, isn't it just? I just thought I would get ahead of the sad, anonymous members that worry about the significance of emojis on an anonymous internet forum. You know who you are.

And 2 hours later 100 patrons get caught with drugs i guess or at least tested positive.

Never been to one of these Indian-themed nightclubs. Now one more reason not to go in the future. Who needs this nationalist nonsense in a nightclub?
