Police in Pattaya are recommending the closure of a popular nightclub, Flexx Club, after reportedly violating legal operating hours on the district’s Walking Street numerous times. The club has been raided on multiple occasions by the authorities and has continued to operate without a valid licence. During its recent raid, 50 Thai and foreign customers were present in the club and the club manager was charged with operating a venue without a valid licence, staying open beyond the permitted hours and selling alcoholic drinks. Similarly, Dragon Man Club was also found to be operating without a permit and beyond the permitted opening hours, with 15 people testing positive for drugs on the premises. As a result of this, the district chief has recommended the closure of the club for five years.
