Police raided two ‘restaurants’ in Pattaya for allegedly violating the current legal closing time for alcohol serving venues of 11:00 P.M.
A team from the Pattaya City Police led by the Police Chief Colonel Kunlachart Kunlachai raided two ‘restaurants’ in Soi LK Metro Buakhao. Legally, bars and nightclubs are still closed in Thailand as part of Covid-19 measures but have been allowed to temporarily open as converted restaurants since December.
The first venue raided police alleged most customers were foreigners found drinking alcohol well past the legal closing time with many staffers in sexy dresses and enjoying loud music.
The second restaurant was also allegedly full of customers who were drinking alcohol past the legal time limit.
Police said both owners will be called to the Pattaya Police Station for further legal action. Customers were not charged and were released.
The current 11 P.M. closing time is a nationwide direction from the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration for “BLUE†zones that are allowed to sell alcohol at “restaurantsâ€. The focus is primarily on venues that are former bars or entertainment venues and have been given permission to convert to “restaurantsâ€.
