but the entertainment venue, motorcycles with their racing motors, cars with advertising speakers are all allowed?? as the hotel maybe thinks there  no guests sleeping in daytime?

I asked a very successful foreign bar owner what impact this 4am closing will have on his business. He's a numbers guy, so knows revenue vs costs, plus what his staff likes.

 

His answer: "Maybe during the high season we'll stay open until 4am on Fridays and Saturdays, but otherwise it isn't profitable."

 

Elsewhere, it seems the government is admitting two things:

 

1) Even those "dirty farangs" count as quality tourists, and tourism is one of the few things we think we can affect right now to boost the economy (4am closings, legal weed, visa-free for Indians, russkis get 90 days)

 

2) Though we have no prostitution in Thailand, woman accepting tributes for supplying sexual favors is an important part of Thailand's tourism appeal (put another way: "Beer goggles" will be the norm by 4am, so even the fatties from Isaan will get barfined and be able to send money back home)

It is true, not much will be earned on weekdays, but as Thai culture they don't care... Walked many times around and than a woman is screaming in the microphone and nobody is listening or even in the neighbourhood of the stand, but she pretends there a few hundreds watching and listening..So will be the same in the entertainment industry.. even if there are no guests the singers will sing and perform although nobody is there, but the shop must be open as it is allowed...

... and then start replying to their own posts ??  

 

You think people working in the late night entertainment industry are more stressed because the 'customers' use alcohol and drugs ?

 

Will they get paid more for the extra hours ???... that could ease a financial burden and generate less stress.

Or... it may give late night staff (restaurants / hotel staff / shift workers etc) an outlet to enjoy themselves. 

 

There are so many variables... looking at this matter  though the singular lens of negative myopia shown above is perhaps 'brainless'.

 

 

 

 

you have experience in night work it seems

Why worry?? the night entertainment will be open too till 4 am...if that is allowed the airport has to be open too to let the millions of tourists who want to join the nightlife in Thailand come in.

outdated habits for people who don't deserve it... Is there never a update in this ridiculous show?? Respect has to be earned and can be showed in many other different ways

To help you understand, brake failure in Thailand is known elsewhere as driving too fast for the conditions. But drivers who do that in Thailand find it impossible to admit the real reason for an accident - their incompetence - as they would lose face.

Thank you for the explanation, I know, but it is still a very weak excuse, just as something happened that they could not help... Losing face in Thailand is bad, but if the reporters would stop with this kind excuses  it would be much pleasant to read news... so much things are covered up

Strange action.. Maybe people don't want to leave  and who is Anutin to push them to leave the country??Thailand has to learn that they can't control everybody all over the world. In their own country they do it, but that works not in other countries

And why should they listen to THailand????

It has nothing to do with sucking up to America.

If this government cared about sucking up to America, it wouldn't be neutral on the Israel Hamas war, and it wouldn't have invited Putin to visit Thailand.

not worth to comment on Americans.. They are people who think they own the world, but have a lot of problems inside their country that they can't solve such as racism, shooting because the law of gun posession, orthodox religions, and so on, but they like to comment on other countries or push to adapt their standards...

Of course they are not normal....by definition a small 5% or so people who are homosexuals are not normal.....it is the 95% who are normal. Maybe its an age thing but I'm a two gender person and won't be forced by others to call deviants 'normal'.

 

Tell me wowser, are pedophiles normal people? 

It shows how educated you are with this post...respect for other people is not in your dictionary

And Thailand wants to becme greener and invest mor in EV's???? how is this to explain? Oh yeah Thailand is the land of contradictions... left hand doesn't know/car what the right hand is doing..

Gay marriage is boosting economies all over the world in the countries that have accepted it.. Thailand however could have accepted a long time already but deays it year after year.. A bid for the World  pride in 2028 is too early I think as the country has to show that the LGBTQ+ movement is fully accepted with equal rights for several years... So start with the Gay Marriage asap 

And the 1st of January everybody has to travel home, but it is normal a family day... Why not  a day of on the 2nd of January instead of the 29th December??

They still don't have a clue about tourists and how to manage a tourist industry. 

At night time no problems as the entertainment venues will open till 4 am.. 

The land of the unknowing.... Lonher openinghours means more alcohol consumption and drugs results will be more accidents, people more stressed by the noise of karaoke bars and other music pollution, and the people who work n the bars a far worse health, because they don't have a living anymore, as they have to sleep during daytime...And the worst part is the selling of alcohol during daytime to prevent accidents and at night when they are tired and drugged you can drink as much as you want... and for the tourists?? People who are in the bar the whole night are not the quality tourists they wnatto have and as long as there still underaged people found in the entertainment venues , it is more time to control and that than extend the openingshours

Probably another calender than I have as 30 December is Saturday and Sunday 31 Dece,ber brings us to Monday 1 January, which is a family day and with no extra days anymore everybody has to travel on the family day.. Probably there will 1 day added
