ukrules Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Here in Hua Hin we have to make do with the karaoke area which seems to close sometime around 7 or 8 in the morning. I was told by someone that they close at that time because it backs onto some commercial premesis that opens early 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't expect increased earnings due to 4am closing. Except weekends, bar owners expect to close earlier than 4am, due to lack of customers. Tourists has a budget, and they can only drink so much alcohol before they had enough. Just propaganda, to justify later closing time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Since it has now been announced that alcohol sales will not be allowed after 2am that seems unlikely! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakuna Matata Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 If ICE is legalized in Thailand and allowed to be sold in those night venues, it will boost revenue even more! Just sarcastic 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Don't count your chicken ..... just yet. Sweetheart Anutin made it crystal clear, extended opening hours does not imply the sale of alcohol so get ready to stock up on kiddies syrup and Fitné tea to keep the sober customers coming and staying until 4am. You can do such silly things possibly with the local yocals but a tourist, who should spend is hard earned hard currency is definitely old and mature enough to decide if and when too much is too much. Contrary to popular belief and steady hammering by the government - Thailand is not (yet) the centre of the universe 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordblackader Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Now just wait until they find out they can't sell alcohol until 4 a.m. and see what they have to say. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish star Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Who’s going to sit there with no alcohol served after 2:00am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 So the way it works is that alcohol sales stops at 2am. The local gendarme is slobbering at the mouth already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkok19 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Yeah, I'm sure all the ladies are going to be hanging around the bar between 2am and 4am to make up for the non serving of alcohol and keep the customer(s) amused. The novelty will wear off into the New Year (for bar owners) which will leave just a few that will stay open, those few will have to stock up on their supplies of empty brown envelopes.

Hospital revenue will increase 30% probably. It will all make great entertaining reading the next day. I be safe at home waiting on morning news of road deaths and accidental falls from the balconies of condos. 30% revenue increase what a joke.About 80 % people in Thailand asleep. If you said 1% of people awake were in an entertainment venue which is unlikely. Would seem the only people who would have a chance of making a 30% increase on the days trading would be prostitutes. Mind you they would look 30% better to bar flies after 2am.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamnutsak Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Night Venue Operators Say 4 A.M. Closure Will Greatly Boost Revenue How? (with no alcohol sales, although I believe that restriciton will be lifted based on entertainment operator's contributions to various organizations) Are they going to allow gambling from 02:00 to 04:00?
