No different than Koh Samui with British want to be Gang, Mafia Thugstrer Drug dealers and not just a couple but Many many many...They have become as annoying as the Russians.

Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about. How many people die in England per year in drug related issues and gun related issues. Then look at your own country.

But nothing has changed that will affect them. Not that I think Thailand has ever been a "party haven" other than on Ko Pahgnan.

I've been here fifteen years.When the law changed places closing early, and so on..... Thailand before everywhere was a party paradise! lights, dancing,music, bands, alcohol 24/7. Okay, there are a few places, but out of the way. Before you could walk down the street and there would be something happening. This alcohol law has been implemented, but honest what is it going to do? Nothing that is what .Just another annoyance.

I really don't think this is going to stop people from drinking, Also westerners love to drink when on holiday. They work a 9 to 5 job and they want to go on holiday and have a drink,a good time. Bringing in these rules hurts the tourism industry too. God don't Thai people know we like our drink? Telling us we can't do something at a certain time it's like we are not adult, but children. We're not actually enjoying our holiday to its full potential. No young person in there 20's wants to go on holiday and not drink at certain times. Thailand wants to be getting the backpackers back in again. I was a backpacker once when i came to Thailand and a met many. We stay for a year and then go. I sold my house and spent 4 million baht in one year, also talking to others they spent 250,000 to a million for staying here a for six months to a year. Okay if you have a law because your people have problems, don't take it out on us too. Westerners should be aloud to drink at any time of the day or night, or morning for that matter. Another thing i want to say is most westerners come to Thailand for the beaches the beauty of Thailand, we don't care about politics or people ( some people). Just when Thai go on holiday they talk about the places they went and the things they saw, not too much spoken about the people.Why do they think we are any different? Sure i meat some good people, but i care more about where i'm going and how i'm going to enjoy myself. Drinking is a big part of western nature. Take that away from us and it's like steeling candy from a baby.

The intention of the (old) law was to try to reduce alcohol consumption among Thais. The same reason why alcohol advertising is prohibited on TV. It is nothing to do with tourism, although it does obviously have some effect on expats and tourists who like shopping for booze in the afternoons.

Of course it will have a big impact on the younger people especially those on a year out of college. Those that have not been here before will think it's another negative, and may go somewhere else in the world.Youngsters all they think about is partying an drink. I was never into the go-go seen myself, just sitting on the beach,just chilling and having fun. Obviously i'm older now and counting my pennies, as you do when you get older. Younger people don't care they spend, spend, spend! I know retirees that are so tight they are all budgeting, while the young are spending like their pockets are on fire. I think Thai need to make Thailand a party haven again. Not expat retiree and family orientated.

Somebody mentioned VILLA.

After living here eight years, I have never experienced and problems with buying any booze in Villa, ever. Even on Monk days, in the morning or in the evening any day, etc. etc.

Despite the prices, i like Villa. But why do they get around the law?

Cheers for that, maybe now they know they'll stop them. Nice one!

It's a shame really. Everywhere I go it's like this nowadays. Even paying a bill for True or AIS can be bothersome. The younger Thai really don't seem to care much. Mai care is an often heard word.
