ratcatcher Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) ".......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" Edited March 14, 2016 by ratcatcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amerasianex Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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.

sharecropper Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanku Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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.

bino Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 First to fall foul of the raids was the under new management Viper Bar It seems that the new management needed to be taught a lesson on how to make regular contributions in order to avoid these scenarios.

dunroaming Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguy30 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
