Gaybutton Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 The following appears in PATTAYA ONE: _____ District Licensing Officers Raid Two Karaoke Bars in South Pattaya Pattaya, August 8 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : In the early hours of Saturday Morning, a team from the Banglamung Distirct Licensing Unit led by Khun Pongsit, the Deputy Chief of Banglamung District conducted a raid on two Karaoke Bars suspected of opening after their permitted licensed opening hours. The first venue to be checked was the JJ Karaoke Bar in Soi Day Night Hotel, off the South Pattaya Road. The venue was open and alcohol was being sold in the premise. A number of patrons and staff members were urine tested and 3 people failed the test and were sent to Pattaya Police Station and later charged with consuming a class 1 drug. The VA Karaoke Bar was the next on their hit list and was also open for business and selling alcoholic beverages to customers despite the late hour. Two staff members failed urine tests and 1 female customer was found to be under the aged of 20. In addition, three staff members were found to be under the age of 18. They were detained along with the manager of the venue and also sent to the Police Station.

Guest lvdkeyes Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 And how long will it take them to get a new license and reopen in the same place with a new name? I don't know about all of the US, but in Chicago area if you are closed for license violation and it is revoked that owner cannot get another license and that location cannot have a liquor license. All of these raids are really a joke to shakedown the owners. As if this is news to anyone! Quote

I wonder if things were not paid on time? The last time I was there the place was full. I wonder if the crowds have died down those special payments can't be made? Anyone been there recently? Quote
Guest Astrrro Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Anyone been there recently? I often walk by on my way home. I stumbled by late last night, around 2:30 AM and it was open, remember there were a bunch of balloons out front. Tonight I went by shortly before 1AM and can't quite recall if open or closed. Quote
Guest Astrrro Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 And how long will it take them to get a new license and reopen in the same place with a new name? Look Boy's Club has been renamed Playboys. Think it's the same ownership. Quote
Gaybutton Posted August 8, 2009 Author Posted August 8, 2009 Look Boy's Club I always enjoy it when some of these bars are called clubs. Sounds almost as if it's the Boy Scouts or something. Somehow, not many of these 'clubs' are very much like upper-crust British men's clubs or like my mother's Bridge club. Quote

Considering the age of some of the boys in those clubs, there may actually be some Boy Scouts among them. Quote
Gaybutton Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 Considering the age of some of the boys in those clubs, there may actually be some Boy Scouts among them. And I'm sure no difficulty in finding those who would volunteer to be scoutmasters . . . Quote
