BANGKOK — A number of Bangkok venues said they are unsure what measures to take during the national mourning period as no official guidelines for nightlife and entertainment venues have been issued.

Do you really think he's the one making the decisions? 

 

More like the public face of the real power, operating at their pleasure under their silver or lead incentive programs.

They already stated that there will be no changes in the entertainment areas but that’s hard to believe after seeing that Truevision will suspend viewing of movies and entertainment shows during this period. Now it’s hard to imagine Pingpong shows and the like being allowed during this sensitive period. They government should give adequate notice of their true intentions so that business owners and tourists can plan accordingly.

Or maybe trying to make the business profitable?

It is the deliberate ploy not to give advance warning in case it would negatively impact on tourist arrivals...much better to hit them with it once they are here and have no choice!
