This was the flashest late-night club in the area. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration would appear to be serious about punishing bars and pubs which don't operate according to the new Covid orders.

 

I have mixed feelings about this. It's good to see they are serious about enforcing rules but at the same time, it was a popular bar,

 

Bye-bye, Insanity, it was nice knowing you.

The name probably didn't help their cause.  Maybe a rebrand to Prudence?

Insanity is this governments speciality so probably all down to a copyright infringement ????

Coming soon.  A nightclub called Craziness.   Or Insomnia.

 

Not the same owner at all.  Really...  It's his brother's new place.

Or Insomnia.

 

Back to the future, when it first opened in 2010 (in Soi 12) it was called Insomnia for a while (same mob as Pattaya), rebranded to Insanity when it was sold in 2012 (?) before it moved to Soi 11 in 2017.

Misread the headline:

 

Insanity! -     Sukumvit 11 Ordered Closed For 5 Years

seemed a little extreme......

Maybe C20. ????

Now the owner of Insanity has come out on Facebook and said the news report in The Nation is fake news. I guess brown envelopes may really be capable of magic!

3 places closed for similar looking offences, 2 for 14 days and the third for 5 years.

I would guess 2 have a smallish turnover therefore limited capability to pay a  larger penalty, the third different kettle of fish as they say.

That could explain why the original thread vanished.
