Banglamung Authorities Raid Large Unlicensed Bar in Nongprue Following Noise Complaints
In the early hours of May 16th, 2026, district officials raided a prominent bar in Soi Nong Prue after local residents complained of excessive noise from live concerts. The bar was found to be operating without a valid license, hosting a live concert featuring well-known artists that drew large crowds of tourists. Officials immediately shut down the event, searched for illegal items (none found), and detained the manager. The individual faces charges of selling alcohol outside permitted hours and operating a service business without proper authorization. This follows a pattern of increased enforcement against unlicensed venues across the Banglamung district.
