Pattaya46 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Strange that there is not one name of those "many entertainment spots in the area of Pattaya city that had violated the law"...? Press usually doesn't hesitate to name raided places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I wonder how many entertainment spots were checked? If they arrested 10 owners and detained them, then that is either a very high percentage of naughty boys to their normal raids, or they checked a lot of bars. Of course, those arrested could have been on someone's wish list or they had intel before going out hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuketboy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I would say that most of the foreigners who have businesses in the entertainment areas would have the appropriate licences as these are checked from time to time anyway. It's more so the Thai's that scatter when these checks are being done because they are the ones setting up businesses without permits or licences (maybe due to them not affording them). There are certainly less Thai's on the Bangla Road Patong when the checks are being done. Maybe they should get their own people in order before cracking down on foreign owned businesses and companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Check back in a month of so, and the guy will be driving a new ride. this will confirm why the inspection are being made. It is no surprise that foreigners are being targeted! They provide the greatest payout! No different than the helmet law majority being pull over are us so why should any of us be surprise.
