pushing the consumption of the worst drug in the world is not what Thailand needs, they need less not more alcohol addled pinheads running around the streets..

Let people choose how they want to live, and you choose your way to live, that nanny state thinking should be left back in the nannystate.

The RTP Bar and Club Owners Association must be feeling the pinch and applying a bit of pressure.

May one wonder if longer opening times will attract the preferred Chinese and Indian rich?

The western people won't come back for longer opening times.

Maybe try to lure the Iranian, Turkish and Arab tourists into the bars?

The closing time for pubs and bars is 2am.

 

Phiphat said he believed that if closing is extended to 4 am, tourists will spend 25 per cent more on eating and drinking.

Talk about a chicken with it's head cut off this government cannot make it's mind up on anything, it was recently in the news that all bars (Farang only of course) must adhere to the closing hours or else, now anything goes no wonder the Thai people are confused of the various laws....!!! This new recommendation of course takes safety into account - NOT...!!

Yea but what about the Indians .. Trying to get half a dozen to buy more than one Coke during waking hrs is hard enough anyway .. 

and the Russians are usually well caned by that time so the chances of getting a few more out of those is remote ..

good for you for many don't, and if they extend the hours they'll end up with more behind the wheel..

Then put them in jail, but that would need the police to actually do their work.

And that's the main issue thailand has.

It took many years to attempt clean up the police forces around the world. Some of the solutions employed by other nations were paying a livable wage, raising educational standards and increasing penalties. That improved police forces in many of countries but if you research it, many western countries are still having a lot of problems even with the advantages they have.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_corruption

Perhaps they could bring Chiang Mai into the fold and stop enforcing midnight closing. Extend it out til 2am to be in line with the rest of Thailand. 

Very true that SammyT....????

Hey, Hon - Let's do vaca in Thailand this year because there we can drink ourselves until we're totally sh*tfaced in a club until 4 AM. Then we can catch a taxi back to the hotel and have some real fun talking to the driver on the way!

Or we could walk back totally wasted! What do you think?:stoner:

And probably increase drunk driving accidents/deaths by a similar amount, as there is near zero enforcement of drunk driving laws in the wee hours. 

and spend all day in bed therefore not buying anything (aspirins maybe)
