The Department of Provincial Administration (DPA) raided a pub in Sukhothai province early on Saturday and detained 154 underage patrons.

Anti-alcohol campaigners, including some 30 members of youth networks, called on Metropolitan Police chief Pol Lt-General Sutthipong Wongpin to check on shops in Bang Sue district’s Soi Wongsawang 11 that are allegedly selling booze to youths under the age of 20. The shops are believed to be near an educational institution, and hence prohibited from selling alcohol.
