Police raid Patpong - July 25, 2008 Friday, 21:37: Police are conducting a massive crackdown on vendors with fake brand-name products on Soi Patpong in downtown Bangkok. Patpong, known for its many go-go bars, is one of the protected entertainment areas thought to be immune from normal standards of law enforcement. Reports indicate that vendors are angrily challenging police efforts to confiscate their goods.
It happens from time to time - usually when Thailand needs a favour from the US. Lets hope it doesn't put the prices of fake watches up too much for my holiday in two weeks time!
