Last night at 12:45am police entered the Sunee area from all three entrances. There were about 12 in each group. As they paraded thru they grabbed unsuspecting boys by the hand and dragged them along as they made their way to the bars. Seemed like some bars knew ahead and closed a little early but the police entered anyway. Not sure what they were looking for but my guess would be drug testing as they did not make a big effort to stop the boys running away.

That's a very good guess. Perhaps the following article, from the PATTAYA CITY NEWS will clarify what was going on, and why:

Karaoke Bars, Go-Go Bars and Beer Bars Checked in Continuing Crackdown on Late Night Entertainment Venues

 

Bar Owners who watch this program should be aware that a crackdown is currently ongoing in the Pattaya area. Pattaya Police in conjunction with Banglamung District Licensing Officers visited many late night entertainment venues on Friday Night. Soi Sunee Plaza and the Naklua Road were targeted on this night and we caught up with them at the Kunza Karaoke Club in Naklua where the staff were urine tested.

 

A total of 10 staff members failed the test confirming the presence of met-amphetamine in their systems; however a search of the club did not uncover any narcotics on the premise. In this case a report of the incident was sent to the Provincial Governors Office who will decide if any revocation of licenses is warranted in this case.

 

We understand the bar crackdown will continue for the next few weeks.
