Three Bars Raided in North Pattaya and Pratumnak Area



PATTAYA: -- In the early hours of Sunday morning Naval Officers conducted raids in Pratumnak and North Pattaya

On Sunday 13th March at 1:30 am Navy Lieutenant Porasit Chitramwong as ordered by District Chief Chakorn Kanchanwatta conducted a series of raids on late closing bars in Pattaya.

First to fall foul of the raids was the under new management Viper Bar on Pratumnak Soi 4. The Viper Bar was found to be still open and still selling alcohol past the legal bar closing hours.

Laek Lin Bar was also caught up in the late closing net with the added penalty of selling the now banned Shisha and allowing patrons to smoke on the premises.

So new the Thai navy is doing the crackdowns on bars...... what's the navy has to do with bars control is anyone

guess, how did they get to the bars? with a patrol boat? and what next? the engineering core or the quartermaster

core raiding bars soon?

Yet the bar where the Canadian got whacked in the head was open at 0500 hrs???

Navy controlling the bars because police getting kick backs so will not uphold the law.

".......the 27 year old owner claimed the bottles were for the personal use at an upcoming birthday celebration of high ranking police officers."

Expensive liquor reserved for top cops. No wonder the navy boys had to bust them, the cops wouldn't.

Looks like they also found baraku, shisha pipes or hookahs.

I suppose a badly written headline might read "Baraku bar man arrested in Pattaya surrounded by hookahs"

Pretty good idea this government has going after the highly illegal shisha smokers and the scourge of the earth late night partiers. Ya people travel by plain for 16 hours to be put to bed when they get here nothing open nothing to do. Many many people choose Goa India now that has everything Pattaya has bu its open 24 hoirs and HAY! Shisha is legal..... Morons doing this to your selves.

So they somehow missed the Russian bars on Walking Street? Until someone closes them you know this is just rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic. And probably more hands in the till.

Other than the police owners, who better to know where a dodgy bar is than a sailor?

five smuggled and un-taxed bottles of alcohol ........ the bottles were for the personal use at an upcoming birthday celebration of high ranking police officers.

That would be about right. and then the drunk (but high ranking) police officers would all drive home (or to the mia noi's house) in the early hours of the morning.

It seems that the new management needed to be taught a lesson on how to make regular contributions in order to avoid these scenarios.

It is a fact that many of the bars are owned or part owned by policemen. The ones that aren't pay the police to leave them alone. Hence the military involvement on crakdowns. Maybe it's time for the military to look to the police oners for their kickbacks? TIT

I am sure that tourist and expat patrons will feel much better knowing they won't be subjected to hookas and untaxed wiskey while they are waiting to be over charged and then assaulted or robbed by bar workers and prostitutes.

Nobody in Thai government has any concept of what is important and what doesn't really matter. They actually do very little for the survival of the tourist trade beyond token efforts but they do like to talk about what they will do to insure safety for foreigners. Maybe "influential people" won't allow anymore than what is slresdy being done, to give the appearance of enforcement.

It would be very interesting to see the yet to be released names of mafia and influential people in Chonburi and Pattaya on that list of 6000 top villians. It would probably explain a lot about how and why highly selective endorcement of laws is performed in Pattaya.

how else is the navy going to raise money for there submarines!!!!

Not everyone who lives here wants to party at all, let alone 24/7. Particularly those who choose to live in Jomtien or Pratumnak.

I think that there should be areas where loud music and late-night partying are permitted, and areas where they are not and where they roll the pavements (sidewalks) up at 10pm and dont allow music at all.

And what do you know? We do actually have an area called Walking Street that falls in the first category, and a large and vibrant bar area the whole length of Soi Buakow, and much of 2nd Road. Why cant other places outside those areas just fall into the second category?
