Pattaya —The Pattaya City Council urged the mayor to broaden the legal operating zone for nightlife venues to include those outside the zone in order to cope with new possible legal opening hours.

The proposal was raised by a member of the Pattaya City Council, Damrongkiat Pinitkan, during the council’s 5th meeting on Friday, September 23rd, urging the mayor to revise the legal operating zone for nightlife venues, which has remained unchanged since 2002 or 20 years ago.

 

Damrongkiat cited that there were many venues outside the current zones that aspired to operate fully legally, and their sole obstacle was this obsolete rule. According to him, the rule only allowed operators to run entertainment businesses on the right side of Pattaya Third Road down to Bali Hai Pier. But in reality, many businesses popped up on the left side as well as Jomtien and Naklua, and they all wished to receive a proper license.

 

“When these venues are in the legal operating zones, they will benefit from the extension of the legal opening hours too,” Damrongkiat said in the meeting.

But what about all the people who bought or rented property in these areas for just that reason so they could have a decent night's sleep, probably the Pattaya City Council members do not have to suffer the noise from these late night venues 

Looks like the new mayor wants to stand out by wearing a T-Shirt to try to show he is one of them!

In the end, it is looking more and more settling in on his job those brown envelope must be coming in pretty fast!????

New venues popped up in otherwise non commercial designated areas who now wish to move the goal posts.
