In the US, off duty police do private security all the time but not in uniform.

Of course, by the paramedics.

"Owners of so-called girly bars also fine the sex workers heavily if they fail to show up at work for a day or two." So there shouldn't be a penalty if they don't show up for work? If they don't do that, girls will not show up for work half the time! If you can't fine them, then the only option is to fire them and soon you will have no employees. "Sometimes, operators deduct money from the commission the women make on drinks bought for them by customers, hoping they will be too drunk to notice." This is impossible (at least very hard to do). Girls get a commission slip every time they get a drink. Girls watch out for each other and it wouldn't go unnoticed. They should worry more about drunk customers bills being padded. Where is the protection for us??

Reading between the lines. Girl enticed the guy to the bar. He got a drink. They did not want to barfine with him. He doesn't want to pay. He gets his ass whooped.

"left on the floor helpless for 40 minutes until an ambulance finally arrived". You are not supposed to move someone if they might have a broken back.

Their map is not perfect (no map is) especially for out of the way locations. You have to play around with pickup points that avoid the dead end street. As for them not moving. It usually means they are "finishing up a ride." There should be a notice. They can't show you where they are due to privacy reasons. A "hello" let's the know you are waiting.

These two guys go to a bar together on a motorbike. They both get drunk. By default, the less drunk guy drives home. What the police suspect likely happened. They get into a accident. The driver panics. See his friend is OK and bolts for the hills.

You don't see all those motobikes parked all over the side sois of Walking Street?

I was responding to a suggestion about non alcoholic drinks after 2 before closing at 4. Might as well close at 2 if they can't drink liquor because no one will stay.

It looks like a roof overhang without railing.

If you must use a taxi, don't ask how much. Ask them to turn on the meter. If they refuse, get out. They are more likely to turn on the meter during the day than at night. That said I always use rideshare, Grab or Bolt. Bolt is cheaper. Tip.. Don't request the ride at a taxi stop or area with lots of taxis! Walk further down and maybe to a side Soi before you request. Taxi mafia is real and rideshare drivers get threatened. Drivers will drive right on by if they see a lot of taxis.

This one mean people can buy one last bottle before the deadline.

How about no parking in entertainment zones after midnight forcing people to take taxis.

They are going after criminals. If they happen to be Chinese so be it.

This is what happens in in most places in the world. Clubs get raided and everyone searched. So what ends up happening is that the floor gets littered with drugs. However, Thailand is the only country in the world (that I know of) where they make you take a pee test.

Unlikely. You are better off getting a villa.

This applies to immigration in every country though. It is "at their descretion." If there are red flags, think you are trying to circumvent immigration laws, think you can't afford your stay, they can deny you. If I was an immigration officer, getting married back to back is certainly a red flag. He got off lucky.
