I always thought thats the basic requirement and only reason to play golf.....confused now..

Just a thought.  Golfers.   Not only will you lose your balls but...you play with clubs/irons.

All the many golf clubs here with people walking around hand in their pockets ( more balls ) shouting fore every 30 paces. The country is turning into a Monty Python sketch.

"The existing entertainment license required by bars doesn’t cover playing darts, staff were informed".

 

Darts?? Entertainment????

[Esanlover]

They cant be serious. For how long has dart been played around Pattaya and suddenly a law popped up and a permit are required. Amazing Thailand. It all getting more and more grotesquely and Thailand are gradually one big Cartoon. What about all the bar games these lovely ladies tricking us farang to play with them and mostly for drinks or money. No permit required or what?

Best thing of Thailand is: It's April's fools day every day of the year...

Guessing the people trying to sell the World Darts Championship to be held in Pattaya to promote Thailand now are going to have a hard sell !

Yes, teachers licence, this licence, that licence. The word licence must be the most used English word in Thailand.

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

 

 

Those kind of darts will be fine because they are fired by responsible Thai nationals, not decrepit old foreigners without work permits trying to muscle in on an occupation reserved for Thais.

its not false news or clickbait, my friend has a bar in Pattaya and they cannot play darts now, i think someone with half a brain has seen how stupid this is and are trying to hide their tracks, yep blame someone else, that should deflect the incoming flak

[Dogmatix]

It is interesting that the video of the 2016 raid on the bridge players which is described as a police raid was carried out by men from the Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA) with not a policeman in sight. DOPA is the part of the Interior Ministry that manages district offices and has no powers of arrest.  I guess anything goes in Pattaya and anyone with a civil service uniform can play the local sherrif.

Do police come and nok on my door now because I have dart board at home 

Thailand is becoming a country I don't like anymore meaby it is better to find a new home in another country 

After 15 years here thank you 

Exactly my Scandinavian brother. I have been here 14 years and I äm the <deleted> out of here in two months. I'm done. 

 

This is just the tip of absurdity here not to mention immigration officials at least in Chaeng Wattana are ruder and more uncivilized than ever. I feel like I'm a criminal going to a parole hearing everytime I step foot in that place.

Question:  is a license needed to offer billiards (or any form thereof) as entertainment? What about 4x4?

[Bangkok Barry]

The problem is that the people who take this action are so stupid they don't know how stupid they look. Shouldn't they be wai-ing to the PM to apologise for giving Thailand a bad image before being banished to an inactive post?

I think we know what this all about; a common ploy is to make something legal suddenly illegal so you can extort money and control it.

Chinese are not fond of playing darts, hence, dartboards are no longer needed and wanted here
