Low Season Bar Crackdown begins in South Pattaya

PATTAYA:--Banglamung District Officials, led by Khun Pongtasit, the Chief Bailiff, conducted checks on many late night entertainment venues in the South Pattaya area in the early hours of Wednesday in search of bars and clubs which were being operated not in accordance with licensing regulations.

A total of 50 officers and District volunteers were sent to the South Pattaya entertainment zone to check a variety of bars and clubs. The officers conducted drug tests on employees and checked licenses and the age of patrons and employees.

There should be continued checks for drugs,underage sex/workers,no alcohol license,hours of opening,its a sensible thing to do.

The bars would be shut earlier if the girls were paid hourly,thats for sure

Other than underage sex police raids,most raids are early hours of the morning,so a good time to do the crackdown,whether high season or low season.

[sandrabbit]

underage sex police, wow is that a new show?

U are the sort that moans when u get stopped killing someoned due to intoxication on a bike,then complains more when the cops dont take a bribe

[lemoncake]

Usually in low season, most bars close earlier as there are no customers. so the operation should be called low season shake downs

For sure, nothing more important to do when you are a cop...

Luckily I will never have a business that is visible and will never have to deal with any of the monkeys !

gorillafarm ? in the middle of town a business option?

[petercool]

There are many, many branches of the Royal Thai police, regular, Immigration, Tourist, then metropolitan, provincial, municipal, many with divisions dealing with petty crime, fraud, licensing issue for businesses whether entertainment, commercial etc, crime suppression, transnational crime, and on and on so you can't expect the police who checks bar licences to be doing something else. At least not that day.

I don't know where you come from, but I don't know of any farang country where bars are routinely raided and people made to do drug tests on the spot. Sure, you can point out other problems in farang countries, but this kind of bar raids ain't one of them.

[DiNiro]

I would like to inform the officers in question that a gang of criminals running the jet ski concessions on the beach have been assaulting and defrauding tourists for years.

They could start the investigation on the beach across from the police station.......

[JulesMad]

I think I am gonna do the same: conducting checks on many late night entertainment venues!!!

Might be actually fun

Anyone wants to join?!?

They are getting tough, they do not accept OAP pension books as proof that you are over 20.
