Only one out of 47 bar staff tested in Patong was found with purple urine (when added to a reagent) in drugs tests conducted in a raid of the party zone last night (Thursday).

Officials from Kathu District Office led by Kathu District Chief Somprach Prabsongkram along with Patong Police and medical staff from Patong Hospital were randomly selecting Patong bar staff for a urine drug test.

There were 47 bar staff from six bars in Patong who were requested to provide urine samples for the ‘purple pee’ test. Only one of them was found with a positive test result.

They were questioned and taken to Patong Police Station to face legal action.
