Does it include the darts fired in go go bars ? Although they fire them at balloons, not a dartboard !

Also the butt darts fired along Dong Tan beach should be examined for compliance. ?

Best Idea ban sex and all the trouble makers will go home, just an idea but it might work

Great idea! Middle East countries do this and it's working great.

Your ideas are purely spectacular.

[gusincebu]

Apparently ,until the availability of licences is resolved , bars can contact the Thai Darts Association, and get registration of the Association Certificate, which will suffice in the meantime .

You stated that venues without an entertainment licence are being targeted implying that an entertainment licence is needed to play darts.  That's not true as is evident in the article.

Regarding 'professional dart players', where is the distinction that they are in face exempt? 

It is true that at least one venue without an entertainment licence was targeted.

 

Do you really think that a country's national team of any sport, that obviously represents that country internationally, is (a) playing in bars in Soi 6 or (b) representing the country illegally?  There is a huge distinction, even if you claim there isn't one

Unbloodybelieveable......whatever next....lunatics are now running the asylum here......

 

 

Honestly, what goes through their heads when they come up with "There is no current dartboard permit, but we are going to confiscate yours till we invent one" 

 

I'd like to see a thousand expats outside city hall, with the media in attendance. That might make them think twice the next time they come up with silly schemes like this, and we know what it's really about.

 

It's no wonder the bars are so empty now with all this sort of thing driving farangs to leave Pattaya.

Will the cops give them back their own dartboard?

no as the cops are practicing on it at the police station 

[thaibeachlovers]

This seems rather appropriate.

Yes lets get rid of all the old pensioners contributing to the economy . Bridge or Darts , we can start there, 

 

[ROGER DUNN]

I think the cops have only taken dart boards from 1 venue .. at least only one "raid " has been reported .

No if we farangs do that we will just get ban from Thailand cause disturb in public places 

Bar's however have been empty before this ban because of bar fin and drinks to high price and I see farangs like sit on the beach drinking beer from 7/11

Myself I have live here over 10years and not go drink in bar's but I am not a sex tourists so I can't say bar's good or bad 

But Thailand do everything for farangs to leave Thailand and only want Chinese short time tourists and meaby this 1 quality Russians tourists too

Honestly, people playing darts and bridge...a dark day indeed for Thailand. You would have thought they have countless more pressing matters. Shakes head in a resigned fashion.

[Thechook]

And who says prayuth and his loonies haven't achieved anything in 4 years.  Do you need a pool table licence?

Yes I agree it does, but this has been going on for 40+ years, it isn't news to those old enough to know, just a reminder to the younger people that history is worth a look at.

Whatever happened to that body builder Chap who yelled outside police station give me back my gold.  If he joins city hall protest you all won't get touched possibly and will get to play Darts without to much hassle.

But I don't play Darts. I bake.
