Pattaya-
Police raided an illegal nightclub in Pattaya which had been just raided a week before and seven people tested positive for illegal drugs.
More than 50 officers from the Pattaya City Police and the Chonburi Provincial Police raided the ‘Posh 69’ nightclub in Soi Bongkot in South Pattaya early this morning around the legal closing time of 2:00 A.M (December 3rd).
The Chonburi Provincial Police Deputy Commander Colonel Jakkapan Kittisiriphonkun told the Pattaya News “More than 100 partygoers were found drinking alcohol and dancing. Seven people tested positive for illegal drugs which were four men and three women. The raid this time followed a previous raid on November 28th.”

“This time, the nightclub had invited customers to join a birthday party via their Facebook page. Seven people who tested positive for illegal drugs and a person who claimed they were the manager but we do not believe is the real manager or owner was taken to the Pattaya Police Station,” Colonel Jakkapan explained.
“The so-called manager is facing charges of illegally opening entertainment venues, selling alcohol without permission, and allowing illegal drug use in the venue. We will propose to the Chonburi governor to shut down the venue for at least the five years permitted by law,” Colonel Jakkapan added.
The Pattaya News noted names of those arrested were not identified by police and that law enforcement had also said in the previous raid last week that they were also petitioning the governor to shut the venue for five years.
