Police in Huai Khwang launched a crackdown on high-risk entertainment venues, karaoke bars and suspected nominee businesses, checking licences, IDs, passports, drug tests and illegal migrant workers. Police said legitimate operators were not the target, and no violations were found at the venues checked. 577 Club stays closed under an order from Aug 29. If you run a venue or hire foreign staff in Bangkok, keep licences, work permits and staff documents ready for inspection, and make sure your ownership arrangements are genuine rather than nominee-based.
