In response to a tragic incident, over 50 officers from the Chonburi Provincial Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) and Pattaya City Police conducted a comprehensive inspection of entertainment venues along Soi LK in Bua Khao Street, South Pattaya. The operation aimed to curb illegal activities and enhance safety for tourists and residents alike.
Authorities sealed off the area to conduct thorough inspections. Officers meticulously checked the identification of employees and customers, conducted drug screenings, and verified the weaponry and security measures employed by venue staff. No illegal items were discovered during the operation.
The inspection brought attention to an unfortunate altercation at the Tuk Tuk Club, where a dispute between a bar employee and a waiter escalated. In an attempt to intervene, the manager suffered a fatal stab wound to the abdomen. The venue promptly closed following the tragic incident.
Authorities emphasized the importance of responsible conduct among establishment staff, urging vigilance against intoxication and prioritizing patron safety. They also encouraged employees to promptly report any illegal activities to nearby authorities to prevent similar incidents in the future.
