After the postponement of the final decision last month, most of us had thought that the current hours won't be changed...alas, we were wrong.

Some questions though :

1. OPENING hours have NOT been changed, have they ? There had been talk of having all the venues to open at 6 pm, instead of 1 pm.

2. How about 'restaurant' type of places (those with no music) outside the zones ? As we know, there are so many of those, most of them outdoors. I hope at least they will be permitted to stay open till 2 am.

3. Snooker clubs ?

4. There has been no change to the hours for selling/serving alcohol, right ? I mean one can still get beer from 7-11 after midnight or one can still get beer at a restaurant after midnight, right ? I am asking this because somewhere I read about someone going to a 7-11 and being told that he cannot purchase beer, as it is past midnight.

Assuming the opening hours have not been changed, I feel that the owners will have their venues (yes, even the dance clubs) open at a much earlier hour. But for instance, how many customers will feel like going to a danceclub around, say, 7 or even 8 pm ?

For drinkers and bar/pub-goers, they will simply start drinking 1-2 hours earlier. Of course for people who work, till, say, 6-6.30 pm, they might have to start immediately after work !

Whatever the answers to the above questions are, the 'easy-going' and 'fun' atmosphere of the nightlife will certainly be ruined. Sad

I was denied buying a beer after midnight at 7-11 on Sukhumvit soi 23 yesterday, they even had brown paper covering the cooler.
