Pattaya – The mayoral candidate from the Pattaya Ruamjai team Sinchai discussed legal opening times, sobriety checkpoints, and more yesterday with nightlife business owners in Jomtien.

On April 7th, Mr. Sinchai Watthanasathon led the Pattaya Ruamjai team to discuss several matters raised by nightlife operators at Lisa’s Guesthouse, Jomtien, Chonburi. One of the operators was Ms. Lamphueng “Lisa” Hamilton, the chairwoman of the entertainment venue operators club who sought a new mayor to be competent in coordinating with the Thai government as well as an extension of the legal opening time to accommodate tourists.

The current legal time for closing alcohol serving venues in Pattaya (and Thailand) is 11:00 P.M. Business owners have been urging the government for months to ease this restriction, however the restriction is technically set by the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration or CCSA in Bangkok.

Clear to see you only get Covid from a bar after 11 pm, until then the magic of the bottle keeps it a bay.

So you advocate closing the bars completely? 

" Competent in coordinating " ????

From what I just read ???? it is going to be the same ride with a new driver????

Continue flooding,  continue road construction with the same roads being rip up again and again,  continue pot holes, continue Soi dogs everywhere, continue wires hanging everyone, continue trash everywhere,  list goes on........................... and traffic will be the same accidents each day with death rising and of course government leaders will continue to get rich on the misery of their people and there will continue bashing each other here? ????

In the article I noticed this part "...and create a bad image for the city", seems like I've a misunderstood impression of Pattaya's image...

That's what I meant! It is already getting bad on the weekends with the tourist wait until the buses arrive then maybe that would be a good sign I start to see some tit and ass?????

sobriety checkpoints; anyone found sober will be heavily fined.

Someone needs to tell the bars/restaurants that are full to the gills some with live music or dj's playing until way past midnight/1am in the open bars around Pattaya Tai that they are supposed to be closed.

Poor old Jacko. If you close the bars completely you won't get the magic of the bottle to keep covid away until 11 pm.
