snoop1130 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 PHOTO: Prachachat Patong and tourism cities including Pattaya need ‘special zoning’ with nightlife venues open until 4 AM but nightlife business operators need to pay more tax, according to ‘Prab Keesin’, a prominent Patong businessman. Preechavude ‘Prab Keesin’ is the Chairman of the Pisona Group, Chief of the Patong Development Foundation, and a former advisor president of the Patong Entertainment Business Association (PEBA).

We need these areas to be a special zone which has different legal closing times for nightlife venues.” Full Story: https://thepattayanews.com/2022/05/10/patong-and-tourism-cities-including-pattaya-need-special-zoning-with-nightlife-venues-open-till-4am-but-need-to-pay-more-tax-suggests-prab-keesin-patong-businessm/ -- © Copyright The Pattaya News 2022-05-10 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Lemonltr Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Spare a thought for the bar girls who normally start around 4 or 5 pm on salary (if lucky) around half the legal minimum. Many are only freelance and get income from tips/lady drinks only. At 4 am surely desperate to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
