"10 bar managers arrested in Soi 6 inspection of venues.

 

We joined a team of officers from the Banglamung District Licensing Unit who were backed up by “Opo po lor” Civil Volunteers as they conducted a check on bars along the entire stretch of Soi 6 also known as Soi Yodsak. The group made checks on liquor licenses and also checked for the presence of CCTV Cameras which is a new requirement for entertainment venues here in Pattaya. Details of specific licensing irregularities were not given to us but we can report that 10 Bar Managers were detained for further questioning due to problems with their licenses. The group will continue their checks during the next 3 days so if you do own a bar, especially in the Central Pattaya area, you can expect a visit from this group of officials."

There are some things that the authorities should not be f#cking with and Soi 6 is one of them. This is scarey stuff. I hope this is just another of those passing fad things that the authorities tend to have occasionally.

One good thing no mention any of the "Managers" appear to be farangs!

Speaking with a g/f who works in one of the bars up on the 2nd Rd end. Bar closed and owner has gone back to Europe. Doesn't sound good.
