Police raids on nightlife venues in Bangkok’s Wang Thonglang area as clandestine foreign control grows

Bangkok police have opened a new front against Wang Thonglang’s hidden nightlife, raiding 17 venues across three entertainment zones. Two karaoke bars were caught selling alcohol after hours, but police were hunting bigger targets. Prostitution, trafficking, drugs, firearms and illegal nominee businesses were all in their sights. The raids brought 29 venue inspections in six days across a district with a history of clandestine nightlife. Police have previously smashed a Chinese-linked gambling den and an illegal Myanmar karaoke operation. Eight years ago, the giant Victoria’s Secret massage parlour also became the centre of a major trafficking scandal. Now investigators are following foreign-linked payments to establish who really controls businesses inside this little-known Bangkok nightlife belt.

Bangkok police have launched a sweeping crackdown across a lesser-known nightlife belt after raiding 17 Wang Thonglang entertainment venues. Two karaoke bars were caught selling alcohol after hours. Yet officers were hunting for much more. Their targets included prostitution, trafficking, drugs, firearms and illegal nominee businesses.

For foreign readers, Wang Thonglang sits well outside Bangkok’s familiar international nightlife circuit. The district lies northeast of central Bangkok and east of the main tourist entertainment belt. Nana, Soi Cowboy and Patpong are a different world. Wang Thonglang is overwhelmingly residential and commercial, with nightlife scattered through busy local neighbourhoods.

Still, several sizeable entertainment pockets have grown inside the district. Lat Phrao Road provides one major corridor. Town in Town and nearby Sri Vara contain restaurants, pubs and late-night businesses. Farther north, Soi Mahadthai around Lat Phrao 122 has another concentration of entertainment venues.

Local Thai nightlife hides foreign-linked networks as police target trafficking, prostitution and nominees

Unlike lower Sukhumvit, these are not compact streets packed with foreign tourists. Instead, clubs and karaoke businesses sit among restaurants, shops, housing and other commercial premises. Live-music venues, bars and late-night establishments add to the mix. Most cater principally to Thai customers.

Behind that local scene, however, police have uncovered a different nightlife economy. Recent cases have involved secret foreign customer networks and businesses operating outside conventional tourist circuits. Chinese and Myanmar nationals have featured prominently. Police have also begun examining foreign-linked payments and possible nominee ownership structures.

Prostitution provides another significant strand in Wang Thonglang’s enforcement history. In 2018, the district became notorious for the Victoria’s Secret massage parlour investigation. Officials identified 113 people there as potential trafficking victims. Most came from neighbouring countries.

Against that backdrop, police moved into the district again at 11.30 pm on September 11. Pol Col Jesada Yangnok, superintendent of Wang Thonglang Police Station, commanded the operation. Metropolitan Police Division 4 SWAT officers joined the force.

Alongside him were senior patrol and investigation officers from Wang Thonglang Police Station. They included Pol Lt Col Pavee Manmuang, deputy superintendent responsible for patrol duties. Pol Lt Col Somchai Kongkanon, deputy superintendent for investigations, also joined the raid.

In parallel, patrol inspector Pol Lt Col Wisarut Phithiphatphong joined investigation inspector Pol Lt Col Apichat Unphong. The combined force then split into three teams. Each moved into one of the targeted nightlife zones.

Altogether, officers inspected 17 businesses across Lat Phrao, Soi Mahadthai and Town in Town. The list showed the breadth of Wang Thonglang’s night-time economy.

Police entered Rong Lao Mahadthai, Say Yes, Lamoe 90, Johnny Chill House and K Khaeng Bar. They also inspected Lang Sao Bar, Bang Bar, Wake Up, Hongsamut and Tasty Bar.

Elsewhere, teams checked Loft Two Bar, First Class, Venita and Dote Club. Officers even inspected a prawn-fishing establishment on Lat Phrao 80. Finally, they moved into Sema Karaoke and Ton Khoon Karaoke.

Those final two businesses produced the night’s only announced offences. Both were caught selling alcoholic beverages beyond permitted hours. Sema Karaoke and Ton Khoon Karaoke now face prosecution.

Police widen Wang Thonglang checks to prostitution, trafficking, drugs, firearms and nominee businesses

The operation, however, was far more extensive than a licensing check. Officers inspected identification documents belonging to employees and customers. They also randomly urine-tested 98 people. Every test returned negative for illegal drugs.

At the same time, police examined operating licences, permits and business documentation. Payment arrangements also came under scrutiny. Officers checked money-transfer information for possible evidence of illegal nominee operations.

Notably, the enforcement checklist specifically included prostitution. Human trafficking was another target. Firearms, other weapons and illegal drugs were also prohibited inside the venues.

Additionally, operators were warned against admitting customers aged under 20. Businesses had to obey legal closing times and alcohol-sale periods. Police also targeted indecent activities and fighting inside or outside venues.

Even loudspeaker regulations formed part of the checks. Consequently, officers were examining almost every aspect of the businesses’ operations.

Pol Col Jesada said police had received information about possible breaches in the district. In particular, reports concerned businesses selling alcohol beyond permitted hours. The information covered karaoke bars and other establishments.

Second Wang Thonglang sweep in six days targets weekend nightlife after tip-offs over illegal activity

In response, police increased an enforcement campaign already operating across Wang Thonglang. Friday and Saturday nights will receive especially close attention. Those periods attract the largest customer numbers.

Police also said tourists use entertainment businesses in the area. The campaign operates under the “Wang Thonglang Safe” policy. Metropolitan Police Bureau and Metropolitan Police Division 4 directives underpin the operation.

Six days earlier, another large police force had already descended on the same nightlife belt. More than 30 officers inspected 12 establishments on September 5. Soi Mahadthai and Town in Town were again at the centre of the operation.

One raid came deep into the night. Police entered Rong Lao Mahadthai at approximately 3.18 am. Music was still being performed, while customers remained inside.

Significantly, most customers encountered there were young Thais. That snapshot reinforces the district’s predominantly domestic nightlife profile. Nevertheless, the inspection again extended far beyond customer identification.

Across the operation, police urine-tested 76 people. None tested positive. Officers then moved on to business records and physical safety requirements.

Police examine foreign-linked payments and nominee structures after 29 venue inspections within six days

Separately, licences, fire exits and tax matters were inspected. Police also examined how businesses received money. Foreign-linked payment applications attracted particular attention.

Those transactions were checked for possible nominee arrangements. No offences were announced from the 12 establishments. However, the ownership scrutiny marked an important expansion of routine nightlife enforcement.

Within six days, police had therefore entered 29 entertainment establishments. They had also conducted 174 drug tests without recording one positive result. Only the two after-hours alcohol cases emerged from the second operation.

The nominee checks, though, connect with a different history inside Wang Thonglang. Previous police operations have uncovered clandestine businesses built around particular foreign communities.

One major case surfaced in November 2024. Police discovered a secret gambling den catering primarily to Chinese customers.

Twenty-one people were arrested. Thirteen were Chinese nationals, while four were Taiwanese. The remaining four were Thai.

Chinese-only gambling den exposes clandestine foreign network operating inside Wang Thonglang nightlife

Crucially, police said the gambling operation depended heavily on Chinese connections. Its restricted customer network made detection difficult for local officers. This was not an openly advertised casino drawing passing tourists.

Rather, customers were linked through a narrower foreign network. The operation functioned inside a Bangkok district rarely associated internationally with gambling or foreign nightlife.

At the time, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Pol Lt Gen Thiti Saengsawang highlighted a broader development. He identified Wang Thonglang among Bangkok districts experiencing increased foreign investment.

Huai Khwang and Sutthisan were also named. Police said such investment could create opportunities for illicit operations. The gambling den demonstrated how one clandestine business had embedded itself within a foreign network.

On another front, Wang Thonglang produced a strikingly different foreign-linked case in August 2025. Police raided an unlicensed karaoke-style establishment in Phlab Phla.

The location placed the operation inside the wider district containing much of today’s nightlife activity. Yet its customer profile was completely different from Bangkok’s conventional tourist trade.

Chinese case leads into Myanmar-linked karaoke raid as foreign networks surface in Wang Thonglang

Around 60 people were attending what police described as a private party. Officers drug-tested everyone present. The results transformed the raid.

Forty-one people tested positive. All were Myanmar nationals. They comprised 26 men and 15 women.

Furthermore, police found alcohol being sold without a licence. Officers recovered cartridges containing liquid suspected of holding controlled psychoactive substances. The Thai manager admitted the establishment lacked the required entertainment licence.

Unlike the Chinese gambling den, this was an illegal karaoke-style operation. Nevertheless, both businesses shared one defining feature. Each catered heavily to a specific foreign community away from Bangkok’s tourist nightlife.

The Myanmar raid also showed how extensive such an operation could become. More than two-thirds of those tested returned positive drug results. Yet the establishment operated in a predominantly Thai district rather than an international entertainment zone.

Earlier still, Wang Thonglang had become the centre of a far bigger prostitution and trafficking investigation. The Victoria’s Secret massage parlour case broke in January 2018.

The Department of Special Investigation joined the Department of Provincial Administration for the raid. An undercover investigation into suspected sexual trafficking had preceded the operation.

Inside, officials identified 113 people as potential victims. Foreign nationals accounted for almost all of them.

Myanmar nationals formed the overwhelming majority, numbering 96. Another 11 were Lao nationals. Four Thais and two Chinese nationals completed the group.

More seriously for local law enforcement, investigators found records referring to police and government officials. Those records reportedly concerned benefits received or services used at the establishment.

The fallout reached Wang Thonglang Police Station. Five senior officers were temporarily transferred while the matter was investigated.

The Victoria’s Secret case predates the latest raids by more than eight years. No connection has been reported with Friday’s 17 inspected establishments. Nor did police report prostitution during the latest sweep.

Victoria’s Secret raid finds 113 potential trafficking victims and puts five senior police under scrutiny

Even so, the old case remains central to the district’s enforcement history. It explains why prostitution and trafficking feature explicitly in current nightlife inspections.

As part of this continuing scrutiny, officials have repeatedly returned to local pubs, bars and karaoke establishments. One 2022 operation covered six businesses.

Among them were The Pimp, Bar in Town, Share and Fuzzy. Further official inspections followed during 2025. Pubs, bars and karaoke businesses remained under examination.

By September 2026, however, police were scrutinising more than traditional nightlife offences. The latest operations added payment systems and suspected nominee structures to the enforcement net.

That change matters because Wang Thonglang’s previous cases involved businesses hidden behind closed customer networks. The Chinese gambling operation depended on Chinese connections. The Myanmar karaoke venue served an overwhelmingly Myanmar crowd.

Meanwhile, police are now checking whether foreign-linked payment arrangements point towards concealed business control. No nominee offence emerged from either September sweep. Still, those checks are now part of frontline nightlife policing.

Geography helps explain why these businesses can remain unfamiliar to international visitors. Wang Thonglang sits beyond Bangkok’s principal tourist corridor. Its entertainment venues are dispersed rather than concentrated along famous nightlife streets.

Town in Town is a well-established local destination. Nearby Sri Vara contains restaurants and entertainment businesses. Soi Mahadthai adds another busy late-night cluster around Lat Phrao.

For comparison, lower Sukhumvit depends heavily on international visitors and passing foot traffic. Wang Thonglang does not. Customers commonly arrive specifically for individual businesses.

As a result, its entertainment scene can operate with little international visibility. Most venues remain part of Bangkok’s domestic nightlife market. Some previous cases, however, reveal businesses serving tightly defined foreign groups.

This pattern has produced sharply different police operations. In one case, investigators smashed a Chinese-oriented gambling den. In another, they found 41 Myanmar nationals testing positive for drugs.

Old trafficking case drives wider Wang Thonglang checks as police target nominee business control

Years earlier, Victoria’s Secret brought prostitution and suspected trafficking into the same jurisdiction. That investigation involved 113 potential victims and temporarily displaced five senior local police officers.

Now the enforcement focus has broadened again. Business permits sit alongside money transfers on police checklists. Nominee structures are being examined alongside closing times and alcohol licences.

At street level, the September campaign has so far produced limited prosecutions. The September 5 sweep uncovered no reported offences. Friday’s operation caught only two karaoke establishments selling alcohol after hours.

Yet the scale of the police mobilisation was substantial. SWAT officers joined local police. Three teams simultaneously entered separate nightlife zones.

Moreover, officers checked customers, employees, permits and payment systems. They tested 98 people for drugs. They searched for prostitution, trafficking, firearms and other illegal activity.

For Sema Karaoke and Ton Khoon Karaoke, the consequences were immediate. Both face prosecution over their alcohol sales.

Weekend crackdown intensifies as Wang Thonglang police target foreign networks and illegal businesses

For Wang Thonglang’s wider nightlife industry, weekend scrutiny is set to intensify. Pol Col Jesada has identified Friday and Saturday nights as priority periods.

Future teams will return to a district unlike Bangkok’s famous tourist entertainment strips. Its nightlife is more local, dispersed and less visible to outsiders.

Yet its police files reveal another side. Chinese-linked gambling, Myanmar-oriented illegal entertainment and a major trafficking investigation have all surfaced there.

The newest element is financial. Officers are now following payment channels while checking who stands behind entertainment businesses. Police are no longer looking only at what happens inside the venues. They are also examining how those businesses operate and receive their money.

犯罪、生活、泰国

曼谷警方对旺通朗区隐秘的夜生活展开新一轮打击，突击搜查了三个娱乐区的17家场所。两家卡拉OK酒吧因超时售酒被查获，但警方此举意在追查更大的目标。卖淫、人口贩运、毒品、枪支和非法挂名经营等问题均在警方的打击范围之内。此次突击行动历时六天，对这个长期以来以地下夜生活闻名的地区进行了29次场所检查。此前，警方曾捣毁一家与中国有关的赌场和一家非法缅甸卡拉OK场所。八年前，维多利亚的秘密按摩院也曾卷入一起重大的人口贩运丑闻。如今，调查人员正在追踪与境外相关的资金流向，以查明究竟是谁在幕后操控着这个鲜为人知的曼谷夜生活区。

曼谷警方突击搜查了旺通朗区17家娱乐场所，对鲜为人知的夜生活区展开了大规模打击行动。其中两家卡拉OK酒吧被发现超时售酒。但警方的行动远不止于此，他们的目标还包括卖淫、人口贩运、毒品、枪支和非法代持营业场所。

对于外国读者来说，旺通朗区位于曼谷熟悉的国际夜生活圈之外。该区位于曼谷市中心东北部，主要旅游娱乐带以东。娜娜区、牛仔街和帕蓬区则截然不同。旺通朗区以住宅和商业为主，夜生活场所零星分布在热闹的当地居民区中。

尽管如此，该区内仍涌现出几个规模可观的娱乐区。拉抛路是其中一条主要通道。“城中城”和附近的斯里瓦拉 (Sri Vara) 聚集着众多餐厅、酒吧和夜间营业场所。再往北，拉抛路122号附近的玛哈泰巷 (Soi Mahadthai) 也集中了不少娱乐场所。

泰国当地夜生活场所隐藏着与外国势力勾结的网络，警方正着力打击人口贩运、卖淫和非法入境活动。

与素坤逸路下段不同，这里并非挤满外国游客的狭窄街道。相反，夜总会和卡拉OK场所与餐厅、商店、住宅和其他商业场所交错分布。现场音乐表演场所、酒吧和夜店也为这里增添了更多选择。大多数场所主要服务于泰国顾客。

然而，在当地夜生活表象之下，警方却发现了一个截然不同的夜生活经济体系。近期案件涉及秘密的外国客户网络和在传统旅游线路之外运营的商家。中国和缅甸公民在其中扮演了重要角色。警方也已开始调查与外国相关的支付行为以及可能的代理人所有权结构。

卖淫是王通朗执法史上另一条重要的线索。2018年，该区因维多利亚的秘密按摩院案而臭名昭著。警方在该按摩院确认了113名潜在的人口贩运受害者，其中大部分来自邻国。

在此背景下，警方于9月11日晚11点30分再次进入该地区。王通朗警察局局长杰萨达·杨诺克警上校指挥了此次行动。首都警署第四分局特警队员也加入了行动。

警方三个小组突击搜查了王通朗地区的17家场所，两家卡拉OK酒吧因涉嫌售卖酒精饮品面临起诉。

与他一同参与行动的还有旺通朗警察局的高级巡逻和调查警官，其中包括负责巡逻工作的副警司帕维·曼芒中校，以及负责调查工作的副警司颂猜·孔卡农中校。

与此同时，巡逻督察维萨鲁·皮提帕蓬中校与调查督察阿彼察·翁蓬中校会合。随后，联合部队分成三个小组，分别前往三个目标夜生活区域。

执法人员共检查了拉抛街、玛哈泰巷和城中城一带的17家商户。这份名单展现了旺通朗夜间经济的繁荣景象。

警方进入了 Rong Lao Mahadthai、Say Yes、Lamoe 90、Johnny Chill House 和 K Khaeng Bar。他们还检查了 Lang Sao Bar、Bang Bar、Wake Up、Hongsamut 和 Tasty Bar。

此外，检查小组还检查了 Loft Two 酒吧、First Class 酒吧、Venita 酒吧和 Dote Club 俱乐部。执法人员甚至还检查了 Lat Phrao 80 街上的一家捕虾场。最后，他们进入了 Sema Karaoke 和 Ton Khoon Karaoke 卡拉OK厅。

当晚仅有的两起违规事件发生在这两家场所。两家场所均因超时售卖酒精饮品而被查获。Sema Karaoke 和 Ton Khoon Karaoke 目前面临起诉。

警方扩大王通朗检查范围，涵盖卖淫、人口贩运、毒品、枪支和幌子公司等。

然而，这次行动远不止是简单的执照检查。执法人员检查了员工和顾客的身份证明文件，并随机抽取了98人进行尿检。所有检测结果均为阴性，未发现非法药物。

与此同时，警方检查了营业执照、许可证和商业文件，并对支付安排进行了审查。警员核查了汇款信息，以寻找非法代持操作的证据。

值得注意的是，执法清单中明确列出了卖淫活动。人口贩运也是打击目标之一。此外，场所内也禁止携带枪支、其他武器和非法毒品。

此外，经营者被警告不得接待20岁以下的顾客。商家必须遵守法定的关门时间和酒类销售时间。警方还严厉打击场所内外发生的猥亵行为和斗殴事件。

就连扩音器使用规定也纳入了检查范围。因此，执法人员几乎检查了企业运营的方方面面。

杰萨达警官表示，警方已收到有关该地区可能存在违规行为的举报。特别是，举报涉及一些商家在规定时间之外售卖酒类饮品。举报内容涵盖卡拉OK酒吧和其他一些场所。

王通朗六天内第二次整治行动，目标是周末夜生活场所，起因是接到举报称存在非法活动。

为此，警方加大了在旺通朗地区已开展的执法力度。周五和周六晚间将是重点关注时段，因为这两个时段顾客最多。

警方还表示，游客会光顾该地区的娱乐场所。此次行动以“王通朗安全”政策为指导，由伦敦警察厅和伦敦警察厅第四分局负责指挥。

六天前，另一支庞大的警力已经突击搜查了同一片夜生活区。9月5日，30多名警员检查了12家商铺。Soi Mahadthai和Town in Town再次成为行动的重点区域。

其中一次突袭发生在深夜。警方于凌晨3点18分左右进入荣老玛哈泰酒吧。当时酒吧内仍在演奏音乐，顾客也仍在酒吧内。

值得注意的是，那里遇到的顾客大多是年轻的泰国人。这一现象进一步印证了该地区夜生活以泰国本土人士为主的现状。然而，此次调查的范围远不止于识别顾客。

在整个行动中，警方对76人进行了尿检，结果均为阴性。随后，警员们开始检查企业记录和核查人身安全要求。

警方在六天内对29个场所进行检查后，开始调查与境外有关的支付和代理人结构。

此外，警方还检查了营业执照、消防通道和税务问题。他们还调查了企业的资金来源，其中涉及境外支付的申请尤其受到关注。

对这些交易进行了检查，以排查是否存在代理人安排。这12家场所均未发现违规行为。然而，此次对所有权的审查标志着夜生活场所日常监管力度的重大提升。

因此，六天内，警方共查处了29家娱乐场所，并进行了174次毒品检测，无一例阳性结果。第二次行动中仅发现了两起夜间饮酒案件。

然而，被提名人的支票却与王通朗的另一段历史有关。此前警方的行动曾揭露过围绕特定外国人社区建立的秘密商业活动。

2024 年 11 月，一起重大案件浮出水面。警方发现了一个主要服务于中国顾客的秘密赌场。

共有21人被捕。其中13人为中国籍，4人为台湾籍，其余4人为泰国籍。

王通朗夜总会内一家仅限华人入内的赌场揭露了其内部隐藏的外国赌博网络。

至关重要的是，警方表示，该赌博活动严重依赖中国的关系网络。其客户网络范围狭窄，使得当地警方难以侦破。这并非一家公开招揽游客的赌场。

相反，顾客是通过一个范围较小的海外网络联系的。该赌博场所位于曼谷一个鲜少与赌博或外国夜生活联系在一起的区域。

当时，曼谷警察局长提提·桑萨旺中将强调了更广泛的发展趋势。他指出，曼谷的旺通朗区是外商投资增长最快的地区之一。

怀邝和苏提桑也被点名。警方表示，此类投资可能为非法活动创造机会。这家赌场表明，一个秘密企业是如何融入外国犯罪网络的。

另一方面，王通朗在 2025 年 8 月提出了一个截然不同的涉外案件。警方突袭了 Phlab Phla 的一家无证卡拉 OK 场所。

该店选址位于如今夜生活活动最为集中的区域内。然而，其客户群体与曼谷传统的游客群体截然不同。

中国案件引发缅甸方面牵涉的卡拉OK突袭行动，外国犯罪网络在王通朗浮出水面。

当时约有60人参加了一场警方所称的私人聚会。警员对所有在场人员进行了毒品检测。检测结果改变了此次突袭行动的方向。

共有41人检测结果呈阳性，全部为缅甸公民，其中男性26人，女性15人。

此外，警方还发现该场所无证售卖酒类饮品。警员查获了装有疑似含有管制精神活性物质液体的烟弹。泰国籍经理承认该场所缺乏必要的娱乐许可证。

与中国赌场不同，这家店是一家非法卡拉OK式场所。然而，这两家店有一个共同点：它们都主要服务于远离曼谷旅游夜生活场所的特定外国社群。

缅甸的这次突袭行动也表明，此类行动的规模可能非常庞大。超过三分之二的受检者毒品检测呈阳性。然而，该场所并非位于国际娱乐区，而是在以泰国人为主的地区运作。

更早之前，王通朗就曾卷入一起规模更大的卖淫和人口贩卖调查。维多利亚的秘密按摩院案于2018年1月曝光。

继2018年维多利亚的秘密按摩院丑闻之后，缅甸一家卡拉OK店遭突击搜查，发现41人毒品检测呈阳性。

特别调查局与省行政部门联合开展了此次突袭行动。此前，一项针对涉嫌性交易的卧底调查已在行动前进行。

现场人员确认113人为潜在遇难者，其中几乎全部是外国公民。

缅甸公民占绝大多数，共96人。另有11名老挝公民。泰国公民4人，中国公民2人，构成了该团体的其余部分。

对当地执法部门而言，更严重的是，调查人员发现了涉及警方和政府官员的记录。据报道，这些记录涉及在该机构获得的利益或使用的服务。

事件的影响波及到了王通朗派出所。五名高级警官被暂时调离岗位，接受调查。

维多利亚的秘密案件比最近的突击搜查早了八年多。目前尚未有报告称该案件与周五接受检查的17家店铺有任何关联。警方在最近的突击搜查中也没有发现卖淫活动。

维多利亚的秘密门店突击搜查发现113名潜在的人口贩卖受害者，五名高级警官因此受到调查。

即便如此，这起旧案在该地区执法史上仍然占据核心地位。它解释了为什么卖淫和人口贩运问题在目前的夜生活场所检查中被明确列为重点。

作为持续审查的一部分，官员们多次走访当地的酒吧、酒馆和卡拉OK场所。2022年的一次行动就涵盖了六家商户。

其中包括The Pimp、Bar in Town、Share和Fuzzy。2025年期间，官方进行了进一步检查。酒吧、酒馆和卡拉OK场所仍处于审查之下。

然而，到了2026年9月，警方审查的范围已不再局限于传统的夜生活犯罪。最新的行动将支付系统和涉嫌代理人组织也纳入了执法范围。

这一变化至关重要，因为王通朗此前经手的案件都涉及隐藏在封闭客户网络背后的企业。这家中国赌博公司依赖于中国的关系网络。而这家缅甸卡拉OK场所的顾客绝大多数是缅甸人。

与此同时，警方正在核查与境外相关的支付安排是否指向隐瞒的商业控制权。9月份的两次突击检查均未发现代理人犯罪。尽管如此，这些核查现在已成为夜生活场所一线警务工作的一部分。

地理位置有助于解释为什么这些场所对国际游客来说比较陌生。旺通朗位于曼谷主要旅游走廊之外，其娱乐场所分散分布，而非集中在著名的夜生活街区。

Town in Town 是一个颇具人气的本地热门去处。附近的 Sri Vara 聚集了众多餐厅和娱乐场所。Soi Mahadthai 则为 Lat Phrao 附近增添了另一个热闹的夜生活聚集区。

相比之下，素坤逸路下段严重依赖国际游客和过路人流，而旺通朗路则不然。顾客通常是专程前来光顾特定商户。

因此，曼谷的娱乐场所国际知名度较低。大多数场所仍然属于曼谷国内夜生活市场的一部分。然而，此前的一些案例表明，有些商家专门服务于特定类型的外国群体。

这种模式导致了截然不同的警方行动。其中一起案件中，调查人员捣毁了一个面向华人的赌博窝点。另一起案件中，他们发现41名缅甸公民的毒品检测呈阳性。

一起旧贩卖人口案件促使警方扩大王通朗的调查范围，重点关注名义上的商业控制人。

多年前，维多利亚的秘密将卖淫和疑似人口贩卖问题纳入同一司法管辖区。那次调查涉及113名潜在受害者，并导致五名当地高级警官暂时离职。

现在执法重点再次扩大。营业执照与汇款记录一起被列入警方检查清单。代理机构的经营情况也与营业时间、酒类许可证一起接受审查。

就街头层面而言，9月份的整治行动迄今为止收效甚微。9月5日的突击检查未发现任何违法行为。周五的行动也只查获了两家在营业时间外售卖酒水的卡拉OK场所。

然而，警方的动员规模相当庞大。特警队员与当地警察并肩作战。三个小组同时进入不同的夜生活区域。

此外，执法人员还检查了顾客、员工、许可证和支付系统。他们对98人进行了毒品检测，并搜查了卖淫、人口贩运、枪支和其他非法活动。

对于Sema Karaoke和Ton Khoon Karaoke来说，后果立竿见影。两家店都因售卖酒类饮品而面临起诉。

王通朗警方周末加大打击力度，重点打击境外网络和非法企业。

对于王通朗地区的夜生活产业而言，周末的监管力度势必加大。杰萨达警官已将周五和周六晚间列为重点监管时段。

未来的球队将回到一个与曼谷著名的旅游娱乐区截然不同的区域。这里的夜生活更具本地特色，更加分散，也更不容易被外人注意到。

然而，其警方档案却揭示了另一面。与中国有关的赌博活动、面向缅甸的非法娱乐活动以及一起重大人口贩运调查都浮出水面。

最新加入的重点是财务方面。警方现在不仅关注娱乐场所内部的活动，还会追踪支付渠道，调查幕后老板是谁。警方不再仅仅关注场所内部的情况，还会调查这些企业的运营方式和资金来源。

尽管内阁已将相关事宜提交审议，普吉岛旅游计划仍将继续推进，泰国旅游局的目标是到2021年底吸引300万游客。

泰国仍计划在2021年最后一个季度吸引外国游客，目标是吸引400万游客。
