PHUKET: A Department of Special Investigations team seized 10 karaoke jukeboxes from 10 Phuket karaokes in a crackdown on pirate music last night.
The jukeboxes were carried to Phuket Provincial Hall in Phuket City so the media could note the scale of the operation, if not actually hear the music.
The DSI raiders were from Region 8 headquarters, not members of the DSI team from Bangkok now in the process of establishing a Crime Crisis Centre on Phuket.
Nine of the karaokes were in Phuket City and one was in Kathu.
The karaoke clubs were named as Som-O Karaoke, Soifar Karaoke, Nong Mark Karaoke, Sila Karaoke,
Nong Joy Karaoke, Meayai Karaoke, Nampung Karaoke, Lomnur Karaoke, and Green Karaoke in Phuket City and a no-name karaoke in Kathu.
The raid was led by Udom Peachakud, the diregtor of the DSI in Region 8.

How long have these places been operating and why did the LOCAL authorities not do their jobs before the DSI team turned up, when will they be hitting Patong that is the real tester to see if they mean business
