From Pattaya News

Police inspected an entertainment venue in Pattaya in a crackdown on people involved in transnational crime and people who have overstayed their legal visa to stay in Thailand.

On Friday night (April 28^th) a team of officers from Chonburi Provincial Police, the Pattaya City Police, and immigration officers inspected Ying Club on Pattaya Third Road in Central Pattaya.

More than 120 Thai and foreign tourists were in the nightclub. Police checked ID cards and passports. Urine drug tests were conducted on a total of nine Chinese (8 men, 1 woman), a Korean, 4 Indonesians (2 men, 2 women), 32 Thais, and 64 staff (41 men, 23 women). None of them tested positive for drugs and no illegal items were found. Police also checked many cars in the parking lot for possible weapons or drugs but found neither.

This is the third nightclub raid this week in Pattaya with a similar gameplan of drug testing all patrons and staff and checking all passports.

Previously, Pattaya police raided popular Asian club Hollywood in North Pattaya as seen here.

They also raided the Panda Club, popular with Chinese tourists, on Walking Street as seen here.

 

Having raided three clubs and drug tested more than 500 staff and customers, checked their visas and searched their cars, they only found one instance of lawbreaking which was a Laotian woman who had overstayed her visa!

I think the drug tests may be faulty!
