Pattaya police have had a crackdown on nightlife venues almost every night as a deterrent to venues breaking regulations and violent incidents, despite being very unpopular among tourists. This coincides with Thai Immigration conducting random passport checks on foreigners across the city, which are looking for people who have overstayed their visas as part of a national crackdown campaign.
Pattaya law enforcement and city officials gathered on Pattaya Walking Street at 9 PM yesterday, December 7th, to remind venue operators to comply with the legal closing time at 2 AM and to check if they were operating legally. At the same time, Immigration agents toured Soi 6 and other entertainment zones and randomly asked tourists for proof of their legal status to stay in Thailand.
