Troops raided a pub in Bangkok’s Lat Phrao district early Friday and found some drugs and six drug abusers as well as two underage pub-goers.

The Kik Bar 2 on Soi Pukkasawek off Prasert Manoonkit Road was raided at 2.30am by 20 troops, led by Colonel Noppasit Sitthisophon, commander of the First Cavalry Regiment, and Banthit Leelapata, an officer from the Office of the Narcotics Control Board.

The troops found some 200 pub-goers still dancing when they raided the bar. Two of those in the pub were aged under 20 and six others tested positive for drugs, Noppasit said. They also found eight undocumented migrants.

A small quantity of ketamine wrapped in a Bt20 note was found on the floor.

Noppasit said he conducted the raid after his task force received complaints from the public that the pub violated the 2am closing-hour rule.

The officials also found that the pub did not have a licence.

The pub manger, Supawut Namkrut, 32, was arrested and charged with operating an entertainment place without a licence, violating the closing-hour rule, and selling alcoholic drinks outside the legal hours. The undocumented migrants were charged with entering the Kingdom without proper documents.

Seriously i didn't know there is this 2am law? does it apply to every pub and club?
