snoop1130 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 The Thai Cabinet has approved, in principle, the extension of operating hours for entertainment venues, Karom Phonphonklang, Deputy Spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office, announced on Tuesday, October 24th. However, the official duration and areas where it will take effect is still waiting for a final decision by the Ministry of Interior, which is set to meet tomorrow, October 25th. The current proposal is to extend the closing hours by 2 hours, shifting from the original 2 AM to 4 AM. The new operating time will likely be applied to areas popular with tourists such as Pattaya and Phuket.

dinsdale Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) BIB will not be happy in the areas that get extended hours. Less brown paper bags = more traffic fines coming in those areas. Edited October 24, 2023 by dinsdale 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikke1959 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 The land of the unknowing.... Lonher openinghours means more alcohol consumption and drugs results will be more accidents, people more stressed by the noise of karaoke bars and other music pollution, and the people who work n the bars a far worse health, because they don't have a living anymore, as they have to sleep during daytime...And the worst part is the selling of alcohol during daytime to prevent accidents and at night when they are tired and drugged you can drink as much as you want... and for the tourists?? People who are in the bar the whole night are not the quality tourists they wnatto have and as long as there still underaged people found in the entertainment venues , it is more time to control and that than extend the openingshours 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Thanakorn, who is also a member of the government coalition, emphasized the need for rigorous enforcement of laws by police and administrative officers to ensure the safety of customers at entertainment venues.
