reader Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 From Pattayaone At 3:00am on August 27th, Pattaya police continued the bar raids in Pattaya, this time it was the turn of Oskar Karaoke Bar. Police had earlier received reports from locals in the area who had been having problems with the bar playing loud music well into the early hours from some time now, causing loss of sleep as well as other issues. Police made their way down to the bar, and were able to confirm the reports. Inside was a mix of Thai men and tomboys working, as well as a handful of young female customers. http://pattayaone.news/en/pattaya-bar-raids-continue/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 is it 'our' Oskar bar in the Boyztown or other similarly named venue somewhere else? I was so many times there but fact is , never ventured past first row of chairs outside so no idea how our Oskar looks inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travellerdave Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Loud music keeping me awake at 3 and 4 am has been a nuisance for me whilst staying in Boystown over the years. So well done to the boys in brown on this occasion. vinapu and reader 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanan Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is not the bar in Boyztown. This is a bar for lesbians/tomboys I think is located somewhere in the area around Tukcom. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If nuisance level noise was the reason for the raid, then we'll done to the police Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIrishGuy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 You're all saying "well done to the police if it was noise related etc" as if the police "actually" give a shit ! When as always it's more likely that the owner has stopped or reduced their tea money payment or the police are trying to increase their request or some one else has paid the police to go and sort of their annoyance, hell if the police really cared they'd be closing bars all over Pattaya on a nightly basis.

Guest Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Difficult to disagree, but I did say if it's noise related. Also, I believe the police do not require money from legal businesses like hotels (that's what the owners say). So there is probably some kind of non-compliance, even if tea money is a factor in raids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Cant say much about police corruption in thai, i have yet had to deal with them, but we do have some corrupt police here in KL but that doesnt mean all police are corrupt. But in some area, businesses are controlled by mafia/gangsters that is directly sponsored or protected by these corrupt police. So at least in these area, no such raids will happen. And usually these corrupt police have corrupt politicians backing them. I am pretty sure that is how it works in any other country where corruption is rampant. From time to time, when it was exposed, some of these police do get caught, but usually those who get caught are black sheeps, who are low rank officers doing their high rank officers bidding.

reader Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 You're all saying "well done to the police if it was noise related etc" as if the police "actually" give a shit ! True, but if I was being assaulted by the loud music I wouldn't give a damn about the purity of the motive of the cops who stopped it.

gerefan Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It does seem more than strange to me that all the karoake bars that are raided are raided because the locals have complained about the noise. Most are sound proofed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
