Bangkok's 'Cave' raided

[Maricella Sierra]

According to today's Bkk Post, Bangkok's 1st ever (afaik) S&M club was raided shortly after midnight by the police led by deputy interior minister Pracha Maleenond. Under the new entertainment venue law, the bar can be closed for up to 90 days and the owner jailed for up to a year and/or fined up to 60,000 baht.
There was an S&M show going on in which punters could whip or pour candle wax on caged women or have the women do it to them. The upper floor seems to have been used as a knocking shop.

I have a nasty feeling this is just the 1st and all too soon all the more 'unusual' nightlife will be banned and there'll be nothing but bog-standard girlie bars. Even if S&M's not your scene, I think you still have to regard this as worrying.
