Dim the lights, lock the doors, brown envelope, problem solved. You could even market it as an attraction - experience ye olde English pubbe lock-in.

long term foreign residents who don't get out until 8 or 9pm so they only have 2 or 3 hours to enjoy a beverage.

The owners present called for the state to increase closing time by 2 to three hours. They noted that

They noted that it takes nearer 5 hours for the customer to get drunk enough to stump up a bar fine.

They are using foreigner complaints as leverage. If they stay open longer they can make more money and have a better chance at recovering losses. Also girls that work the bar have a chance at more drinks which means more money they have a chance to send home

I agree.. and to a large degree, I think (my opinion only) is that this foreigner complaints “card” is their biggest and best card to play.

 

That said, I think they’d have a stronger hand if they could (or would) show the trickle down impact that reduced hours creates; ie lower staff tips = reduced spending on X, Y and Z... 

 

i myself certainly wouldn’t try to trod out the Pattaya is a world-class resort “card” as I think that one is very questionable at best... plus, I think if you’re trying to move feelings /actions, you’re always better off to put it into terms of a person that another individual can relate to or visualize... a world-class resort is, to me, a hard to grasp and questionable visualization at best

Today it's a 'plea' yesterday it was a 'demand'

 

Blame the "quality" of the "journalism".

Why shouldn't Pattaya beer bar owners dictate government health policy?  ????

They've toned it down from a couple of days ago when there were 'demands' for later opening from bars....

Are they ever "off duty?"   Even when the farang boyfriend / husband is sending over money to keep the bar open.  ????
