After the change of the senior officers at Thong Lor Police last week and the raid on the bar on Soi 23 which was rumoured to have ownership links .... has anyone seen any evidence of a crackdown on places illegally selling booze in that police district?

as a guests in this country, we mind our own business, a good recipe for living in Thailand, don't see, don' know, don't care..

Irrelevant now anyway as its being reported that CCSA just agreed all bars in Bangkok can open on Nov 1 if BMA give the order.

Be at your best behaviour on foreign soil and life's good. 

Without giving out any names, I arrived in Bangkok on Wednesday last week  and a sports bar in the soi I am staying in the Thong Lo area was open in the evenings. Beer was being served in coffee mugs ???? until 11:00 pm.  

Something must have changed because the place was shuttered over the weekend and, although open last night, it promply closed at 9:00 pm

If you want to live dangerously, leave it until all the bars reopen. ????

She's fun.

 

We can hit the clubs for a few hours while the Nanny watches our children.

 

Be good to see the girls getting some work.

 

I definitely don't want to <deleted> her off.

 

I don't want any "fury"!

 

Enjoy your time!
