Pattaya —
At 1:36 AM on June 15th, 2024, Pattaya City police, along with more than 100 officers from relevant agencies, conducted a comprehensive inspection of entertainment venues in Pattaya.

The operation aimed to deter criminal activities, particularly focusing on illegal firearms, illicit substances, and minors’ access, as well as to ensure the safety of tourists.
During the inspection at “Differ” pub, which had been inspected the previous week, officers found no illegal activities, substances, or objects. This indicated compliance with regulations and the absence of criminal behavior at that venue.
However, at “FinUp” pub, officers discovered a group of visitors outside the venue who allegedly possessed illicit substances, including ketamine and ecstasy. Initial drug tests conducted on the individuals revealed that five tested positive for drug use.
These weekly inspections by Pattaya City authorities are part of ongoing efforts to maintain a safe environment at entertainment venues, ensuring they are free from illegal activities and substances, according to police.
