Interesting, wonder why the writer of the article deliberately did not name the establishment?

• Told not to by the police?
  
• Owner threatening to sue if they name?
  
• Could not spell it?

The Pattaya Daily News reporter writes like someone biting the hand that feeds them. He writes that Walking Street is notorious.

A few months ago the police raided Insomnia, first thing they did was to tell all the foreign tourists to leave, then checked the Thais that were left inside.

It was at Insomnia Club, and I went there (with a female friend) around 2AM, when I saw hoards of Police around the entrance and in the lower level I-Bar--also a part of Insomnia.

Apparently, Police went to the upstairs club and shut all doors and the DJ announced that nobody was allowed to leave until they were cleared by Police....in the meantime nobody was allowed into the Club (thank God we got there after all this) and in hanging around for a few minutes I spoke to an English fellow that was "excused" by Police. He didn't give a urine sample but was frisked "thoroughly" and released...however, his girlfriend (Thai) was not allowed to leave, and he gave me the impression the Police were targeting Thai women, moreso than Farang men (underage + drugs). He claims he had been waiting for about 30 minutes for her....judging by the photos of queuing Thai girls (to give urine, check age...?), I would bet he waited a while longer.

A "fortunate" circumstance for me...I could have easily been inside, but my girl wanted to dance hip-hop, so we went to Lucifer first..I wonder why it's always Insomnia that gets raided???

They also got the arrest figures wrong.

What's the problem? Insomnia is a discotheque, nothing wrong about it.
