Club raid in Bangkok. Everyone detained tested positive to drug use.
Another Bangkok night spot is is being threatened with closure after an early morning raid found it open too late, unlicensed and with patrons stocked up and pumped up with illicit drugs.
Most of the estimated 800 customers headed straight for the back door when the lights went on but police still detained 114 people on suspicion of illicit drug use. ALL later tested positive for drugs.
200 small sealed plastic bags of crystal methamphetamine, 45 of ketamine and 9 of ecstasy were found scattered around the floor in various locations, including in the toilets.
“Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to interrupt your night, but…”
The authorities, under an NCPO decree 22/2558, are now considering shutting the place down for five years.
The owner, whose name has not yet been released, was charged with operating without a licence, selling alcohol beyond legal hours and to persons under 20, advertising alcohol, allowing entry to persons under 20, and allowing drug use on the premises.
