The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has found 83 entertainment places with safety issues, some with inadequate emergency exits for patrons, but most of them continue to operate.
City deputy governor Wisanu Sapsompol said on Monday that City Hall inspected 494 nightspots in the capital, and found 83 of them had safety issues.
Mr Wissanu said the BMA had sent written orders to 12 of these places, requiring immediate changes.
Three places were ordered to close and improve their entrances/exits within seven days. Two venues were facing legal action, and four had already made the needed changes.
