Looks like a witch hunt. And what is this garbage not as successful as they had hoped?

“No drugs, no firearms, and no underage participants. If you don’t follow the rules, your licenses will be revoked. Thailand has a law.”

 

 

That explains why the laws are not enforced here. The people at the top seem to believe that there is only one law!

How many people in 6 clubs? I assume it is 1000-2000 people? Who gather on a holiday to spend money and enjoy free time?

Then pigs come in, make them all urinate and goodbye party. 

I like thailand, but this totalitarian police state is just terrible

Christmas and New Year are not far off - the RTP reminding foreign businesses that they are not exempt and  that contributions to the Police Benevolent Fund must be made on time?

All foreign owned businesses... ... ... ... What a surprise!

200 Police officers used to catch 2 drug users, a simple drugs test of all police officers coming on duty would undoubtedly have netted more offenders.

This was nothing more than a reminder by the Royal Thai Police at the start of high season with Christmas and the New Year coming up that the 'protection' money must be paid!
