Pattaya police continued to wage war against entertainment venues that allegedly opened past the legal closing time of 2 AM.

 

Law enforcement officials led by Banglamung district chief Mr. Phisit Sirisawatdinukul went on a tour around Pattaya at 3:30 AM this morning, January 11th, to maintain the peace and ensure all venues were compliant with the legal closing hours.

 

Still, Mr. Phisit revealed to The Pattaya News that certain venues were still open and had tourists drinking and enjoying themselves. He said he had to bring in more forces to investigate the venues but did not find any other violations other than that the venues operated and sold alcoholic beverages past the legal times.

well we couldn't have that could we, how ### awful - imagine people coming to Thailand and enjoying themselves......................outrageous, throw them all in jail how dare they

The Banglamung district chief added that even though Pattaya was a tourism area, people still should not drink till late because they could feel drowsy and intoxicated, which might lead to traffic accidents.

Some venues just can't help themselves and stay within the law.

Obviously the penalties are not severe enough. If they are still making a profit despite the fines, they don't care and will continue like this. And others will do the same. 

So as I understand the article, there were so many premises still open at 03.30 that reinforcements had to be drafted in to deal with them ?

 

I have no real objection to places staying open all night, provided they keep the noise down.  There is somewhere about half a mile away from me (in Pattaya) that is banging out drum and bass until 03.00 most mornings.  Most bars turn it down at midnight but this one just keeps it going.
