Madness and brainless... death toll will rise, people will get more stressed by less good sleep, workers are getting overworked and don't get a social life anymore...and many more reasons.. Maybe they should let the people who decide this work after midnight. at least than they are doing something.. and the police?? they will be nowhere to be seen as they only work from 8 to 17.00 ...

 

Quite the exaggeration there...   An extra two hours is going to cause the workers at late night venues to get stressed...

What about all other other businesses that operate at night ?

do they use alcohol and drugs in those businesses too?? 

... and then start replying to their own posts ??  

 

You think people working in the late night entertainment industry are more stressed because the 'customers' use alcohol and drugs ?

 

Will they get paid more for the extra hours ???... that could ease a financial burden and generate less stress.

Or... it may give late night staff (restaurants / hotel staff / shift workers etc) an outlet to enjoy themselves. 

 

There are so many variables... looking at this matter  though the singular lens of negative myopia shown above is perhaps 'brainless'.

Research is not exactly clear on this - but here's some interesting reading - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9545209/

 

In particular "Extensions in closing hours in populous municipalities decrease accidents, whereas the opposite is true for rural municipalities"

That is good news. Well, I am way past my clubbing years. But who knows, I might hang out till 3 or 4, not at a club but at a pub or bar a few times. Also, it will be good for tourism and also for locals and foreign residents to enjoy nightlife more.

I wonder if all the miserable old b*ggers moaning on this topic ever enjoyed late nights out in their younger days... or were always this miserable?

I imagine that most of us here - well me anyway - did not go out drinking and partying to 4 am as they were sensible with the money that has allowed them to retire here in Thailand ! This is aimed at those who never want to own a house, have a good pension, a house and retire early !

Thailand just needs to sort a few more things out such as removing dual pricing, sorting out the hassle with beach vendor,s deck-chair operators, jet-ski scammers, taxi / tuk-tuk scammers etc... 

They have not really proven themselves capable in that respect. They just employ police who effectively add to that list. What these later licensing times do to the benefit or detriment overall... well we will have to see.
