NCC1701A Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 what? they didn't bring 50 men? oh wait, no Farangs or bridge being played. "Hello Chief? Yeah we got 200 baht and half a bottle of blend 285." "OK, pick up some soda water at the 7/11 on the way back to the station. What does the girl look like?"

canathai8 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I was in Pattaya once on a new years eve, and walked by half full bars at 11 am, with early drinking farang already hitting it hard. Doing that I'd be a mess by 3 pm Waking up at 1130 pm with a bad hangover must be fun Up to them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 what's wrong with drinking whisky before 10.00am ? legal sell time starts at 11.00am-2.00pm I believe ?? and playing cards for 20 baht, 100 baht .... I mean really .... !! isn't there bigger fish to fry in Pattaya than these guys ........ This is just ridiculous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Dang Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Another major impact on crime in Pattaya. I wonder if Interpol assisted in this endevour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaAl Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Here is a funny thing. Firstly Soi 46/3 is Soi batman and "drinkers" are there 24 hours all day long. Secondly 2 cops live in this Soi . One runs money lending operation and another bets and lotto sales. I am guessing raided shop owed one of them some money. Worth mentioning ,neither one of them is high ranking, might be the reason for low police attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some can play through, some will realize waking-up at 11:30pm means the bars are still open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springheeled jack Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I know its against the law to gamble but lets face it what do the police get out of It these people will be fined they will find another venue and they will continue to do the same thing nothing changes.

IAMHERE Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This place is a real gambling nest. They had the exorbitant sum of 200 Baht on the table. Bet they weren't playing Bridge. I bet it'd take a lot of legal knowhow and knowledge to know if it was bridge being played. I'd expect 30 or more court cases to decide if it was bridge and another 30 to decide if it was legal or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxforddon Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yet another round of "damned if they do any policing and damned if they don't" responses. It's a report of one minor incident among many that happen everyday but go unreported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) don't Thais have any private property rights? the police can just come busting into your house or business? if they were out front in plain view, why? and didn't they see the cops coming? could it be they had no expectation of the police doing anything because they never have before? are these the same cops who live next door? are there witnesses to the gambling? when the cops showed up, why didn't someone just put the money away? it is only 200 baht, not like 5000 baht in small bills. and hide the cards when the cops showed up? a small pack of cards in a big shop house. who said they purchased the whiskey in the store? are there witnesses? is there some law about drinking? did the police see them drinking? what time did the drinking take place? are there witnesses? maybe a private party on private property. who took the photos and why? were these people tortured into confessing? will the international press pick up on this story?

raphoedon Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The peep's in the photo look a bit "flushed", was this some sort of " club"? The boys in brown got right to the "heart" of the matter, called a "spade" a "spade" and " dealt" with the people who were "all in" the shop. ????
