Over a hundred Phuket hotel workers gathered at the Patong Bay Hill Resort Hotel in Patong, Phuket, to support hotel owner Preechawut (Prab) Keesin after the hotel was found to be violating legal closing times and was forced to shut down for 15 days.

 

Around 03.30 p.m. yesterday, April 24th, hotel employees from the Patong Bay Hill Resort Hotel gathered to support Prab, the hotel’s owner and former Chairman of the Patong Development Foundation, after a famous Thai lawyer, Sittra Biaengkerd, disclosed the hotel’s violation of legal closing times, resulting in a 15-day shutdown from April 22nd to May 6th. Currently, entertainment venues are converted to temporary restaurants but must stop serving alcohol by 11:00 P.M. On the first of May this changes to midnight.

Prap, however, had to greet the employees via video call because he was in Bangkok for a meeting with the tourism commission, though he expressed gratitude for the support and promised to continue fighting for his hometown Patong.

You might want to check that?

Sounds a lot like, “You shouldn’t suspend my drivers license for speeding. Everybody does it.” 

How are the restricted closing times contributing to the health and well being of the nation? And if these restrictions, and all the completely over the top mask wearing working, why aren't the numbers coming down, when they are in most nations of the world? 

I wonder what's going to happen to the three people in charge of this hotel, Prab, Prap and Parp?

A smack on the wrist with a wet bar receipt, perhaps? ????

"after a famous Thai lawyer, Sittra Biaengkerd, disclosed the hotel’s violation of legal closing times"

 

What a snitch. Sittra needs to get a life 

Reminds me of the throngs of tearful mourners that showed up for a past local official's funeral a few years back. He was well-known to be a ruthless and immensely corrupt individual, and all of the mourners were employed by his various companies.

May be close to the truth. Based on the gossip i hear, I do not believe it will close for the full 15 days ????????????
