Police want to close two pubs in Pattaya for repeated breaches of Covid-19 restrictions after raids early Thursday morning.
Both pubs were on Pattaya Sai Sam Road in Bang Lamung district.
A least 50 customers were idancing to music or drinking alcohol when police entered the Apollo pub around 12.30am.
At the Jacky Karaoke pub, many customers were drinking alcohol and nobody was wearing a face mask, police said.
Police said they would recommend the closure of the two pubs for repeated offences.
Authorities earlier eased alcohol restrictions to allow eateries in Pattaya to serve drinks under safe standards.
However, the two pubs were crowded and had poor ventilation, which increased the risk of coronavirus transmission, police said.
