Tourism is a huge driving force.

But it is not Thailand's main industry as claimed by the poster to whom I specifically responded.   Seems that I actually do know quite a bit of "squat".

I would not be too quick to praise him, He is a well known Xenophobic Racist that hates Foreigners in His Country. God help us if he ever gets the top position.

One may think that his hatred of foreigners in general i.e. anybody non-thai,  is a regretful mentality amongst many Thai's and mainly those wearing some sort of uniform should it be the hotel bellboy or other.

9 pm to 4 am gives you 7 consecutive hours to party. how much more do you need?

 

why do you need to stay up all night? are you a vampire? 

 

 

Rather short sighted. What if you finish work at 11pm, take 1 hour to get home, 1 hour to get ready and 30 minutes to get to the "nightlife". Your 7 hours is now down to 2.5 hours tops.

You've got a lot to learn about Thailand.

How about extending the crackdown on illegality to the government...

They are above the law, and we all know the very, very sad reason why.

Id love to see the minority Ultra right wing Bhuddist puritans   getting a bill through that bans all Nightlife ,, that would be so funny   ,,,,  Like prohibition in USA  or Iran, the Taliban  ,, just imagine Thailand blacked out   ,,, totally hilarious and  it would be so toxic ha ha

Same happens at the other end.... not much time to get ready for work for 7am if you only left the bar at 4am.

We live in a 24/7 world .

Why should the entertainment industry be any different.

 

Oh forgot,  old grumpy farts need to up early for there blue rinse appointment.

In which case you don't stay out until 4am by your own choice, not because someone else took that choice away from you. It's really not that difficult.

Bull<deleted>, over 50% of Thailand's economy is black. Most of that is tourism related.

From where did you pull that uncorroborated "statistic".   If what I posted was indeed "BS", back your assertion with something empirical.

I tend to agree. However, I personally have noticed it more since the covidiocy spamdemic, especially when we were branded as dirty Farangs by the individual we have been discussing. He wears a uniform, thereby, according to the Thai education brainwashing system, he must be right.

If one lives in approximate vicinity to nightlife the choice of getting a nights sleep has been taken away from you. Let's not have any idiotic suggestions about moving or knowingly living in a bar area... this latest situation has been sprung on them. Even hotel residents may be subjected to drunks at very late hours.... some tourists get up early.

It is what it is and we shall see how it pans out....
