Purple Pee Patrol Arrest 20 in Pattaya’s Gay Zone

Published : February 04, 2011 :: 1303


Continuing their current policy of mass checks for drugs, underage sex workers and other illegal activities, police troops closed the go-go gay and transvestite street off Beach Rd. Pattaya, finding many male and females intoxicated or possessing drugs.

3rd February 2011[PDN] At 21.00 Police General Nantawut Suwnalaorng, Police Station Pattaya, led a troop of over 100 men associated with Office of the Narcotics Control Board to close 13/4 Soi Pattaya, Moo 9 Nongphrue, Banglamung, Chonburi. Following the plan of crime and drug clearance, the officers investigated for any illegalities or drug abuse of the workers in the entertainment venue, which mostly consists of gay bars or tranvestite beer bars.



The officers blocked the soi, closing it from 2nd Rd Pattaya, to its end at Pattaya Beach Rd. The soi is an entertainment venue made up of go-go bars and beer bars for homosexuals and the third sex. The police had 50 set goals for the investigation. Checking each bar’s background and its workers urine for drug abuse, they found 20 workers proved positive for drugs. These were immediately brought to the police stations for further prosecution.

The current “no tolerance” policy concerning drug abuse in adult entertainment centres is now becoming a part of Pattaya’s night life. Further such zone raids are to be expected soon.
