Nightlife Reviews: Comeback...

Miami A-GoGo opened on Soi 13/2 (Soi Post Office). The venue was previously that used by Hot & Cold before it moved

I stopped by in the early evening and it was all very disappointing.

The bar is quite traditionally laid out with a smallish central stage. There is comfortable bench seating to the right, a little bench seating to the left, but for the most part there is a long bar counter with a few swivel stools.

The bar looks a little incomplete as there is a large unused space behind the central stage. Perhaps space for a Jacuzzi stage or something later. But in the meantime it leaves a lot of the back right bench seating overlooking exactly nothing.

There were just 2 dancers taking turns and each were dancing for 3 songs. Topless was the dress code. The dancers were below average. There were however 2 other bikini clad girls who were excused dancing for some reason. One was below below average, but the other was attractive. However she was enjoying a chat with her friend rather than doing anything that may improve customer experience in the bar.

Draft beer was 50 Baht but that has already been reduced from the 60 Baht reported at the opening, a few days ago.

All very dreadful but at least its bound to better next time.

Card Gamblers Nabbed While Watching Soap Opera - Pattaya People

 

On Monday night, Pattaya Police Deputy Suppression Inspector Pol. Lt. Pallop Ring-rod received a report of a group of card gamblers playing in a rented room, near Rock Sound Music Store, on Tepprasit Road. A team of police approached the scene and found 7 women gamblers having fun while watching a famous soap opera on Channel 3, as it was the last show in the series. As the series hotted up, the card game also hotted up, causing the ladies to forgot to look over each others’ shoulders, causing the gals to be apprehended by the police with evidence of a set of cards, a table cloth and cash. 4 of them pleaded guilty to gambling, but 3 said they were there just to watch the series. However, just being in the vicinity of gambling led them to being charged with associating with the gamblers, therefore, all 7 offenders were taken for legal proceedings to the Pattaya Police Station.

Shot in the Leg, Snatcher Surrenders - Pattaya People

 

 

On Monday night, the Banglamung Police Suppressing Inspector Pol. Lt. Col. Supachat Piammanat were called to track down snatchers who had fled the scene of their crime. The snatching happened on Soi Porn-pra-pa-ni-mit 6 on the Nongprue side.

At the scene, the victim Miss Parichat Pontai, aged 26 was waiting for the police. She stated that she was attacked by 2 men on a motorcycle while driving her red-black Yamaha Nuvo motorcycle home, which was about 100 meters down the road. The 2 men kicked her motorbike until it fell over, then kicked her once more, before snatching her silver-gold-copper necklace with a Buddha image. The creeps then jumped on their motorcycle and proceeded to flee the scene.

Luckily, an off duty Pattaya tourist police officer witnessed the incident, and chased the motorcycle while radioing for backup. The snatcher jumped off the bike seat and ran into a bushy area nearby, while the driver took off and hi-tailed it away from the scene. A bit later, a resident informed the police that the suspect was climbing up the roof of a house, trying to hide. So the off duty tourist police chased the thief, and shot 1 bullet into the suspect’s leg, causing him to surrender. The suspect, identified as Mr. Arahn Pumisang, aged 22, was sent to Banglamung Hospital, while the police started tracing his associate to bring him to justice, and find the evidence to return to Miss Parichat.

There was a real emergency at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya on Thursday morning when a fire was discovered near the Emergency Room.   The fire alarms went off and all patients being treated in Emergency and major equipment were immediately evacuated as the fire brigade and Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team were called for assistance.  As 5 fire trucks arrived, thick black smoke was seen billowing near the building’s electricity control room about 30 meters from the Emergency Room.  Thankfully, the firefighters with the help of medical staff had the blaze under control within minutes.  The primary assumption was that it started from a short circuit.  Later that afternoon, the Director of the hospital, Dr. Pichit Gangwoengit announced that even though the hospital has a high standard of safety the fire probably began from a burnt out light bulb, near the control room, which had overheated after been left on for a long time.  The director also thanked all concerned, including medical staff, for conducting their duties professionally during the incident, because they all regularly take part in fire drills at the hospital to be ready in case of emergencies.

Huge Drug Production Operation uncovered by Police in East Pattaya

Posted on November 29, 2012

Following the arrest of three Iranians thought to be involved with a well-organized drug production facility in East Pattaya on Thursday Morning, Police conducted a further raid of a warehouse located close-by on Thursday afternoon which leads them to believe they have uncovered one of the largest ever foreign-operated illegal drug making operations ever seen in Thailand.

Officers from Banglamung Police and the Narcotics Suppression Bureau conducted a raid on a warehouse located in Soi Chayapornviti 12 in East Pattaya following information gained from the three Iranian suspects. Upon their arrival they were met by a security guard and the owner of the building, Khun Tiraboon aged 25, who were both unaware of what would be found by Police inside.

The locks on the front steel shutters were broken and officers entered to find many boxes full of imported furniture and 20 air compressors. Much of the furniture had been cut open, suggesting something had been concealed inside and was removed inside the warehouse as evidence of a white power was seen on the floor. Police also found the same Nail Polish Remover Liquid they found in the earlier raid of the house in Chockchai Village 7 in Soi Kao Noi. Also found in the warehouse were ceramic items which were found to be concealing a white power which is thought to be an ingredient used to produce narcotics.

The owner revealed the renter of the warehouse was a British National, originally from Iran, Mr. Manocheher Eskandari aged 40. He was paying 15,000 Baht rent per month and had rented the warehouse for over 1 year. His whereabouts is currently unknown. Khun Tiraboon further revealed how, at least twice a month, a truck would take items from the warehouse.

The investigation continues as Police fear they have only seen a small part of the operation so far.

Illegal Slot Machines seized in Central Pattaya

Posted on November 30, 2012

Five slot machines which pay out money to those that win were seized by Police from a small area behind a Cabaret Show located on Pattaya Second Road early on Friday Morning.

In Thailand, the use of slot machines is not permitted and contravenes Thailand’s strict gambling legislation.

The owner of the Cabaret Show claimed she rented out the space and was not aware of the slot machines and she also did not know the name of the person the area was rented to.

A Police informant tipped-off Police of the presence of the machines but before officers arrived, the apparent owner of the machines fled.

Investigations are on-going as Police are determined to catch the slot machine operator and bring him to justice.

Pattaya International Fireworks Festival 2012 begins

Pattaya Beach Road parade for World AIDS Day

Posted on December 1, 2012

There should be plenty of safe sex taking place around Pattaya City over the weekend and beyond as the city celebrated World AIDS Day by distributing thousands of free condoms during a Beach Road parade on Saturday afternoon.

World AIDS Day is held every year on 1st December and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988. Thailand has a long way to go to ensure the entire country can learn more about the deadly virus and how to prevent its spread. Official figures show that over half a million people in Thailand are currently HIV positive but the true figure is expected to be much higher as many who have contracted the virus are either unwilling or lacking funds to receive medical assistance or are unaware they have contracted the virus.

In Pattaya, Khun Itipon the Mayor of Pattaya, led the parade which began at the front of Royal Garden Plaza. This year they particularly wanted to raise awareness of the virus to foreign tourists and decided the best way to do this was to apply body paint to semi-naked men and women and as expected it had the desired effect.

Although the event was light-hearted, featuring young people dressed as condoms, the serious message of HIV/AIDS prevention was put across to the hundreds who turned-out to watch the parade.

Police arrived, in front of the Giti Car Care Center in Naklua and arrested Khun Apichart aged 37, Khun Wasuporn aged 34, Khun Langsan aged 62 and Khun Wanongnapat aged 30.

Evidence including a small quantity of money, dice and an empty medicine box used to shuffle and then roll the dice, were confiscated. The four individuals were taken to Pattaya Police Station where Khun Apichart confessed to organizing the gambling event.
All were charged with the offence of gambling. We would like to remind you that Thailand is one of a handful of countries where gambling is illegal.

British Tourist drowns following fight at South Pattaya all-night Disco

Posted on December 2, 2012

A 28 year old British man from Cambridge in Eastern England who had travelled to Thailand with his two friends to celebrate his recent release from Prison in UK, drowned as he and his two friends jumped into the sea to escape a group of angry Thai men they had encountered in an all-night discotheque.

Police and Sea Rescue Services were called to Pattaya Beach at the location of the old pier close to the Entrance of Walking Street early on Sunday afternoon to deal with the incident.

The body of Mr. Patrick Lawrence Molloy aged 28 had been recovered from the sea by a Speed Boat operator who was in the area and assisted sea rescue units. Mr. Molloy’s friends named as Mr. James Louis Wills aged 29 and Mr. Jerry Robson aged 30 had managed to swim to a nearby pleasure boat. It is thought the deceased man attempted to swim to a banana boat attached to a speed boat located 500 meters from the shore but went under the water before he could reach the inflatable.

Mr. Molloy had been released early from an 18 week prison term handed-down for a violent assault outside a bar in Newmarket in the United Kingdom. He is known to have a string of offences against his name, relating to violent incidents he is alleged to have been involved in around Central and Eastern England.

The men are believed to have entered into an altercation in the Marine 2 Discotheque with a group of 5 to 6 Thai men who chased them out of the club and down Walking Street. The three Brits were seen to run through Tankay Seafood Restaurant which is on the beach-side of the street and jump into the water, all swimming away in separate directions.

Police are yet to locate the Thai men who are believed to have chased the three Brits through Walking Street. The British Embassy in Bangkok have been made aware of the incident. Mr. Wills and Mr. Robson are helping Police with their enquiries.

Disco doormen surrender to Police following Brit Drowning incident off Pattaya Bay

Posted on December 4, 2012

Three Security Guards working at the Marine Discotheque behind Walking Street where three British men were thought to have been involved in an altercation before being chased through Walking Street who were then seen jumping off the end of a restaurant extension into Pattaya Bay leading to the death of one of them, have handed themselves into Police who are currently investigating the incident.

On Sunday afternoon the three British men were seen to jump off the end of Tankay Seafood Restaurant into the sea. Mr. Patrick Lawrence Molloy aged 28 lost his life after he got into difficulties as he attempted to reach a banana boat situated 500 meters off the coast. The other two men whose names have been confirmed as Mr. James Louis Wilks aged 29 and Mr. Jerry Robson aged 30 survived after they were able to reach pleasure boats moored in the bay.

The three Security Guards who work at the Marine Hotel Discotheque (not the Marine 2 Discotheque as previously reported) which is open from the early hours of the morning until Midday were named as Khun Sompot aged 43, Khun Pramaert aged 23 and Khun Somkit aged 37 who described to Police how the three men were allegedly seen to touch a female in an inappropriate manner which angered the guards who approached the three men to ask them to stop.

It was mentioned that all three men were heavily intoxicated and joining the three Disco Guards was a Security Guard stationed in the Hotel Lobby, Khun Yonyut aged 50, who was allegedly kicked in the leg. At this point the confrontation became violent as the three men were suddenly outnumbered and ran out of the Hotel in the direction of Walking Street, followed by the four guards. There was no mention of the guards being armed even though Police suspect they were.

It was decided by Police to issue the three men with fines for public order offences after CCTV evidence was presented to Police which showed the incident inside the Disco. The fine relates to their admission they chased the men down to Walking Street thus causing a public disturbance. There was no accusation made against either of the men to suggest they were directly involved in the death of Mr. Molloy.

Although they have been released the three men may be called back to the Police Station depending on the progress of the investigation which is pointing towards a death by misadventure conclusion at this time.
