I guess that is easier than writing a letter to all the other places: It's time to pay, or else.

So…..closed for sixty days then reopening after the envelopes pass hands?

Possibly a lot sooner depending on how heavy the envelope is.

So the pop up bar (on the sidewalk in front of the construction) on Soi 22 was not closed.  Must be paying off the cops.  Doesn't seem worth it to open.  In the times I have been in Soi 22 there are little to no one drinking there.

Is this serious? You can't stand or sit next to someone you go to a bar with? That you have to shout across a table to? Really?

Some of thousands of venues without permits/licenses.... yet rent money was being collected on time each month.

These as others have been paying I'm sure... so wonder why the closure?

Maybe a rent increase.

Obviously from time to time the police have to show that they do something.

And normally they inform all the paying places when the raids happen.
