Top Cop in Chiang Rai Transferred After 325 Teens Caught in Night Club Raid

In the early hours of Saturday, authorities in Chiang Rai raided the Par Club and found over 300 underage drinkers partying and dancing inside. All three fire exit doors were locked.

At around 2am, officials from the Department of Provincial Administration (DPA) and Department of Juvenile Observation and Protection (DJOP) stormed the Par Club in Chiang Rai city.

A large number of teenagers waiting to enter the pub fled on motorcycles as soon as they saw the officials. Upon entering, the team found a room packed with young people drinking and dancing. Staff at the pub were ordered to turn off the music and turn on the lights.

According to DPA’s law enforcement operations center, all three fire exit doors were locked.

Pub operator was initially charged with serving alcoholic drinks to underage customers and operating beyond legal hours.

In response to the raid, Chiang Rai district police station superintendent Pol Col Kittipong Sukwattanapan has been transferred to an inactive post at the provincial police operations centre.

Pol Maj Gen Chinawich Wichaithanapat, chief of Chiang Rai police, signed the order on Saturday afternoon.

Saturday’s raid came just over a month after a fire at Mountain B nightclub in Chon Buri’s Sattahip district killed 23 people. Like the Par Club all the pub fire exits were blocked.
