PATTAYA, Thailand – More than 50 officials from Banglamung District, Pattaya Police, Immigration and Tourist Police inspected three entertainment venues in Pattaya on the night of October 19, focusing on public safety and preventing the use of Thai nationals as nominees for foreign business operators. The operation began at 10.06pm under Banglamung District Chief Anusak Piriya-amorn, Pattaya Police Station Superintendent Pol Col Anek Sratongyu and Chonburi Immigration Deputy Inspector Pol Maj Pramote Fueangfung.
Officers checked employees’ identity cards, identification documents held by foreign visitors, and tested for drugs while searching for illegal items. No illegal items or people testing positive for drugs were found. The team also examined business licenses and safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, emergency exit signs, fire alarms and emergency exit doors. All three venues were found to comply with the required standards.
Operators were instructed to conduct thorough checks for weapons and drugs among customers and to prevent underage people from entering their premises. Officials said legal action would be taken without exception if violations were found.
