At 1:30 a.m. on November 1, 2026, Bueng Kan Deputy Governor Warapan Chamniyan, Mueang Bueng Kan District Chief Wutthichai Chaiphumin, Bueng Kan Provincial Police Deputy Commander Pol. Lt. Col. Pankrit Wichayachiwin, and Bueng Kan Provincial Prevention Officer Danudech Chaisri led a team of administrative officials and Mueang Bueng Kan police officers to inspect the Rich Club entertainment venue in Moo 10, Bueng Kan Subdistrict, Mueang District, Bueng Kan Province.
The inspection found the establishment selling food, alcohol, and beverages with live music and DJ entertainment until 3:00 a.m., qualifying as an entertainment venue under the law but operating without a license. Officials also discovered 36 children and youths under 20 years old using the service, the youngest being only 12 years old.
Additionally, officers found objects resembling narcotics on the floor and conducted urine tests on staff and patrons for drugs; all tests returned negative.
Authorities initially arrested the manager and caretakers, charging them with operating an entertainment venue without a license, illegally selling and advertising alcoholic beverages, selling alcohol beyond permitted hours, selling alcohol to children and persons under 20, and other related offenses. The suspects and evidence were transferred to Mueang Bueng Kan police investigators for legal proceedings, while evidence will be compiled for the Bueng Kan governor to consider a five-year closure order for the venue.
