I''m sure that each random police offer is qualified to understand how to interpret a weak positive or false positive as they read those test devices in the dark. There are medications that can cause a false positive result. I would never trust their results. Even worse, a false positive could have bad consequences and I wouldn't trust the results of the confirmation lab. Take a hint: don't let Thais have this much impact on your well being.
Drug testing just for being in a club is fascist. What it really means is the police didn’t receive their weekly paper bag. Stuff like this could ruin that business.
At this point the legal weed in Canada is a major reason why it would be tough to live anywhere else! Canada is literally a pot smokers paradise! I can get a ounce of prime BC kush legally delivered to my door within an hour!
@@philipdupont2308 check out the book " welcome to hell". it's the story of a Irish man who done 8 years in the Bangkok hilton.excellent book.if you read it you will certainly decide NOT to do drugs in Thailand or Indonesia.
The cops know exactly who is dealing and who allows it, they obviously did not get their brown paper bag. As a tourist, dont do anything illegal, not worth the price.
People shouldn't take drugs...but one is sure if they start doing this raids continuously this tourists will not feel safer....they will never come again to Thailand.
Drugs are bad. M'kay. You shouldn't do drugs. M'kay. If you do them you're bad, because drugs are bad. M'kay. It's a bad thing to do drugs, so don't be bad by doing drugs. M'kay. Don't be bad. M'kay.
I've experienced this many times living in Thailand and it's nothing new. Happens all over the world and it won't deter anyone from coming back to this amazing country.
It's deterring me, and I was planning on going there in the beginning of the YEAR and I was just there last year while none of this kind of stuff was taking place😕
@@chicanoonthego I wouldn’t worry about it or let it deter you. This is a news channel, and it’s just one highlighted incident, involving only one nightclub out of thousands throughout Thailand. Statistically, it’s unlikely to happen to you at all. I’ve been here for 11 years and have mostly seen it in Bangkok and Pattaya, but stangely never at clubs owned by cops, of which there are many hmmm. Go and enjoy yourself, just stick to the legal fun. 🤩
This kind of drug testing is not cool, but it’s “legal”, and if you’re caught you might go down pretty hard, as it is more difficult to flash those Baht in the open like that. They started this bullshit all the way back in the early 2000’s..Back then I lived in Bangkok and it was the same , every weekend. You can thank that guy, that guy who is back, again, just hiding behind a family member, another family member this time. …get it 😳😳
Imagine your a tourist who has worked all year long an saved your pennies for a holiday to Thailand, your there an having fun drinking not taking drugs, and then a small army of men in uniforms with guns, turn off the music and surround you for hours, making you sit down and do tests and search you body, and basically ruin your night out that you worked and saved money for at a shitty job, yeah I'm guessing a tourist would probably not look back at that fondly and would probably think of going elsewhere next year. Am I right?
True I wouldn't be happy but I'm in my 50s so I don't like night 🌃 clubs and the music they play I prefer a open air bar with live bands playing rock and roll music 🎶 😊
@@Startingoveragain-d4q Nonsense, methadrine, heroin, fentanyl are just a few that are worse. The negative effects of these drugs happen more quickly and are more severe than alcohol.
Well...the things I've heard about Pattaya police that I have yet to see... With my own eyes. And the things oh man I've seen them do over and over and over in just a span of a few weeks. I've never seen anything like that in any of the 27 oh 26 countries I have been. Thailand is 27. These are not law abiding men who fear any sort of reprimand or punishment of any kind whatsoever. I have proof. Anything else would be lying and I don't do these things because unlike them I think a man should behave with honor even when there is no one looking or if I am above the law. On the other hand. In my four months in Bangkok the opposite is true. Those are great men, I just don't hang out in nana or any clubs or bars so no idea what goes on. Chon Buri immigration good guys. I like. They care about Thailand's reputation. I used to salute police and military wherever I go or see them. I will only look to the floor if I ever see Pattaya again. Great food, great city, great lovely locals as in Bangkok, horrible law and 0 order and 0 safety from police and 0 accountability for their reckless behaviour.

When a club owner refuses to give a brown envelope every month this happens.
We all know there is no prostitution in pattaya....
Makes me not want to travel to Thailand. If the police make a mistake then I’m in Thai prison!.. screw that!

So they will hold people against their will but do nothing about tourists getting beat up on soi 6.
Would make me feel totally unsafe. The cops reasoning is BS!
Thats a STRATOCRACY for you, random DRUG tests😧
What DRUGS were they POSITIVE for? Because WEED is still legal the last I checked🤔
Pattaya, where private security play football with your head and the popo arrest you for it.
No way I’d go there. I’ve smoked so much cannabis I couldn’t pass a drug test if I waited 25 years😂😂😂
I see that I'm not the only one who is a chronic weed user over years
Cannabis is decriminalized and not tested.
😅😅😅😂😂 iv got 30 yrs under mi belt ...God bless maryjane

You can do that here as well. It's decriminalized in Thailand.
Doing drugs or selling drugs in Thailand is a huge No no.A English man got 50 years in prison back in 2009. No sympathy for anyone who tries it.

Prostitution 😂😂😂 What kind of joke is that Thai Police ?
Hi, there is no prostitution in pattaya!
People shouldn't take drugs...but one is sure if they start doing this raids continuously this tourists will not feel safer....they will never come again to Thailand.
Someone is sending a message. What it is, only the recipient knows.
This kind of heavy handed policing makes me feel unsafe.
Yes
Yet alcohol and tobacco , totally fine. Makes my blood 🩸 boil
Grow up!
This has been happening in Thailand for over 20 years. It’s nothing new. Dubai is the same
Dont party in the land of smile. Go some where else.
How about don't do drugs. So, there's that...
Drugs are bad. M'kay. You shouldn't do drugs. M'kay. If you do them you're bad, because drugs are bad. M'kay. It's a bad thing to do drugs, so don't be bad by doing drugs. M'kay. Don't be bad. M'kay.

@@rexpipin08came here to say the same 😂😂😂 Thailand is all good I’ve even partied at undercover clubs during Covid restrictions in Bangkok 😅😅😅
Prostitution 🤔 is this a joke? Prostitution is the life line of Pattaya? Very puzzling 😄!
Sorry to hear you are blind.
Yes I need new glasses 😂🤣👍🏾!
@@skip2it426- I made that answer to guy who said to you, he had never seen prostitution in Pattaya. His message has disappeared.
Okay check then of course he must be blind it’s everywhere in Pattaya. I may need glasses 🤓 so I can see more🤦🏾♂️😂🤣!

What kind of drugs ? Are they talking about hard drugs like cocaine etc
Probably meth, ecstasy.
It won't be for grass. It is legal my guess would be white powders like meth.
Yaba
@@ellocodos exactly what they call it.
Thai tourists in Thailand ?
Lol. What a joke!
On holiday and go get a drug test 😮wtf
Why ? Same would happen anywhere in the world !

Imagine you take only drugs in your country( not in thailand) ,you travel and be positive in thailand 😱

Even more funny is that alcohol is the worse drug you can ever take.

@@USARAY1947 Nobody is taking them in to nightclubs.
👍👍
I'm a farang and these people are pissing me off. I like to stay invisible not easy now!
Is this a joke???
That’s bs
Absolutely it does. They are following a responsible policy re clubs. Maybe some Soi 6 visits might be in order ??

Cancel christmas
Yet, Thailand are looking to allow casinos. Pandering to the Chinese market. What possibly could go wrong there? 😂
Its useless, they could have been drugged by people
Good when you go to another country, you obey their laws - period
hugs , not drugs
nope, think i would have booked ticket to get the hell out the next day...seriously thailand?!?!
Click bait
Safer lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who wants to spend vacation like that 😂 you mine as well not go partying the last 3 or 4 days of your vacation just in case you get pulled in 😂
