With this incredible surplus of beer bars, the fast majority more staff than customers most of the year, opening another beer bar is like flushing money down the toilet. If sex is on offer on the premises like on Soi 6, and a mamasan that can get you hot resupplies from her Amphoe in Isan, you got a chance to do better than just break even.

Nothing to do with alcohol, it is people congregating that they are trying to stop Nothing to do with alcohol, it is people congregatingthat they are trying to stop. Night market Jomtien still has large bar area open with dj playing music and hundreds of punters drinking dancing as usual but owner has big power so maybe they not congregating just socializing...that would be different I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really believe that keeping the premises free for those that want to buy coffee, food and soft drinks is a sign of confusion, more like good business sense.

That should be enough to deter most. They could also make it really bite by fining the customers as well. That'll get them closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because very few, if any of those drinking in those bars will be unaware of the closure rules that have been imposed.

It has nothing to do with what kind of people you hire, it's about the license. You don't need a full menu to be considered a restaurant, but you must sell food.

Wrong, your point was you thought it clever trying to ridicule the owner trying to protect the business, look closer to home for the confusion. It's a bit annoying when the customers cannot sit down to eat for the drinkers that have lost their usual watering hole. Sensible answer - stop selling alcohol.

Stop worrying about what other people do. Yes it does matter , in US many towns cities are in lockdown if a place is open you know it shouldn't be you both are at fault. Some bars in Boston ,MA where I am from tried to stay open and were closed by police and told if opened again would lose thier liscense for a year. Patrons could also be arrested for violating curfue. If your that much of analcoholic buy at package store and go home and drink don't put others in danger. In article below Brit guy faces 1o,ooo pound fine for not staying in home as ordered. https://www.the-sun.com/news/565614/coronavirus-man-26-becomes-first-in-uk-to-be-arrested-for-refusing-to-self-isolate-and-faces-10000-fine/?utm_medium=browser_notifications&utm_source=pushly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701A Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) the web cam of Soi Buakhao shows no lights at all in the bars, no people and the audio which is usually blasting music this time of night is just sounds of scooters in the distance. same same Hua Hin total shut down all bars and massage.
