I guess once the policeman was involved in the investment he got them all trained up properly which would preclude them needing to be raided
it the other clubs that don't have properly trained personnel that need raiding
Q-Bar I can't explain though

Burn lead singer is scapegoat :Justice Ministry
By Piyanuch Thamnukasetchai
Kwanhathai Malakarn
The Nation
Published on February 3, 2009
Justice Minister Pirapan Salirathavibhaga yesterday showed the press video footage to prove that the Burn's lead singer, Saravuth Ariya, was a scapegoat.
The 28-year-old was earlier charged of setting off fireworks on stage that set the santika Pub ablaze killing 66 partygoers.
Pirapan told the press yesterday that his ministry's investigation team has found faults in the police reports and would therefore tell the Department of Special Investigation take it up as a special case on February 11. The minister said the findings would also be submitted to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva today.
Things don't match
Reporters were yesterday shown security-camera footage within the club and images of forensics chief Porntip Rojanasunan conducting a test on the fireworks believed to have been used.
The security-camera footage, which the ministry's panel reportedly obtained three days after the fire, contradicted witness testimonies that Saravuth had lit fireworks on stage. The footage shows balls of fire falling from the ceiling 2.57 minutes after the pyrotechnics were lit, and Saravuth is seen leaving the stage. There were no images of the singer lighting the fireworks.
Pirapan said experiments showed that fireworks take a while to spark a blaze. However, security footage shows that the fire spread in a couple of minutes, probably because the ceiling was made of flammable materials.
He has urged witnesses to carefully review their accounts, adding that many of the surviving partygoers could no longer be contacted at the numbers they had provided.
In a separate occasion, Abhisit yesterday said he agreed with the idea of having the DSI look into the club's fire because the case was too complicated, adding that the Justice Ministry and the police work hand in hand and exchange any information and evidence they may have.
Traces of drugs discovered
Pirapan revealed that traces of heroin and cocaine had been found in staff and musicians' dressing rooms, and it was suspected that drugs freely changed hands inside the venue. The panel has told the Office of the Narcotics Control Board to further investigate.
The Anti-Money Laundering Office was also instructed to look into the Bt20-million transfer into the club's bank account supposedly from an alcohol company. The firm denied making any such transaction.
The team is also questioning why the police stopped raiding the premises after a certain individual bought shares in the White and Brothers on September 17, 2006. This was despite the 47 arrests police had made previously for unauthorised opening of the venue and selling booze at prohibited times.
Pirapan also revealed that Suriya Ritrabeu, managing director of White and Brothers, had a history of drug abuse and further investigation showed that santika Pub had paid no excise taxes throughout its five years of operation.
In addition, documents were found containing forged signatures of an architect and a construction-supervisory engineer, which might have been part of an illegal ruse to issue forged construction permits. The engineer's name was used in 33 applications for construction permits, he said. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration has been urged to look into this aspect of the case because it goes against the Building Control Act.
Meanwhile, the police continues to stand by its claim that Saravuth is to be blamed for the blaze.
"We have clear evidence or else the court would have not approved the arrest warrant," Pol Colonel Kachornsak Pansakorn said.

By the way, why an inflammable material is one that is flammable?
English 101. (s'okay if you're ESL, or unfamiliar with Google)
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/flammable
Usage Note: Historically, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. However, the presence of the prefix in- has misled many people into assuming that inflammable means "not flammable" or "noncombustible." The prefix -in in inflammable is not, however, the Latin negative prefix -in, which is related to the English -un and appears in such words as indecent and inglorious. Rather, this -in is an intensive prefix derived from the Latin preposition in. This prefix also appears in the word enflame. But many people are not aware of this derivation, and for clarity's sake it is advisable to use only flammable to give warnings.

On the surface perhaps, but I would bet that it's more likely a large enough bribe has not been paid to make it go away, someone at the top has demanded a big payoff and the guilty are playing hardball, now the guy at the top is reminding the guilty of what could happen if he doesn't cough up. Perhaps overly synical, but perhaps right on the nail.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Tuesday 22 December 2009 :-
Police: No pub fireworks
=================
Entertainment venues in Bangkok will not be allowed to use fireworks for Christmas and New Year`s Eve celebrations to ensure there is no repeat of the Santika pub fire tragedy last year, Metropolitan Police commissioner Santhan Chayanont said on Tuesday.
On New Year's Eve last year, the fire at Santika pub in Bangkok's Thong Lor area was caused by fireworks. The blaze claimed 66 lives and left more more than 200 people with scars and other injuries.
Pol Lt Gen Santhan said city police would enforce the 'December 2009' operation plan to maintain order and security during Christmas and New Year`s Eve.
Police would focus on overseeing shopping malls and places where many foreigners gather during the celebrations, he said.
Each police station in Bangkok would train volunteers in how to detect and inspect suspicious objects and in methods to remember the features of wrongdoers.

==========================
The Central Administrative Court on Wednesday ruled the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration liable for 20% of the compensation for 12 relatives of those killed and and seriously injured in the Santika Pub fire during the New Year celebration on Jan 1, 2009.
The nightclub owners are liable to the rest of the compensation payment.
The lawsuit against the BMA was filed by 12 relatives, led by Esther Yean Chen, of those killed and seriously injured in the tragedy.
The plaintiffs argued in their lawsuit that the BMA was negligent in its supervision and control of the structure as well as related systems and equipment of the nightclub as required by the Building Control Act of 1979, leading to the fire that caused mutiple death and injuries.
The court ordered the BMA to pay 20% of the compensation, along with the owners of the Santika Pub.
