Thread: Pattaya Club at Risk of Permanent Closure for Repeatedly Violating Closing Time

A nightclub on Pattaya’s walking street is at risk of being shut down permanently due to reportedly having no license and staying open beyond legal closing times multiple times, say police.

Pattaya Police raided the Flexx Club on Walking Street at 4:30 AM today, March 28th, following a tip-off from concerned citizens that the venue was staying open past the 2 AM legal closing times.


Police stormed the place and found about 50 domestic and foreign tourists dancing to music. While blocking the exits, the officers told the venue’s operators to mute the songs and turn on the lights. They then seperated pub goers by gender and then checked each individual’s ID card to look for minors. There were no reports of any underage customers being found in the club, The Pattaya News noted.

The unnamed club manager was detained and charged with allegedly operating the venue without a license and staying open and selling alcoholic drinks after hours. The officers revealed that they would also pursue a permanent closure of this club as it had been raided many times in the part and reopened without a license.
