THE CABINET yesterday (Aug. 29) approved a draft royal decree setting up an entertainment zone within the Eastern Aviation City being built around U-Tapao Airport in eastern Rayong province where nightclubs will be allowed to stay open all 24 hours and no restriction imposed on sale of alcohol, Matichon newspaper said.

 

Ms. Traisulee Trisoranakul, deputy spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, said this is to ensure that the entertainment zone is established in an systematic manner to maintain peace and order for Rayong people and is in line with Eastern Economic Corridor Policy Committee permitting privileges to promote the Eastern Aviation City.

 

The entertainment zone is to take up 2,662 rai of land from a total 6,500 rai set aside for the city. While alcohol will flow freely without restriction, tight control will be maintained.

I have a great idea.

 

Why don't they give unrestricted licenses to places that already have the infrastructure and the tourist numbers just down the road?

Tourists will be wanting to party 24/7 before and after flights.? ???? Righto.

 

Just the Thai military in that area trying to get another revenue stream in motion.

 

Actually providing more than just a handful of daily flights from a supposed "International Airport" might increase footfall, but doubtless they'll get paid regardless..
