The inspections, ordered by Kathu District Chief Siwat Rawarangkul, were led by Patong Police Chief Col Sujin Nilabadee.
Named as joining the safety-enforcement party were Kathu District Deputy Chief Phipop Sudkhao and Chirawat Namart, the district secretary in charge of the Territorial Defense Volunteers for Kathu District 2.
The inspections began at 9pm, with the officers engaging with venue operators to “emphasise the safety of tourists participating in the activities”, said a report of the inspections.
Each venue must clearly show the entrance and exits. Searches for weapons and drugs should be conducted before allowing tourists to use the service at the venue, the report added.
If any suspicious objects are found, venue operators are to inform the police or relevant agencies immediately, operators were told.
The report made no mention of any infringements discovered by the law-enforcement sortie.
The inspections follow the disastrous Mountain B fire in Chon Buri in August, which has now claimed 26 lives, and the crowd crush in Seoul on Saturday night which killed 156 people.
