webfact Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Phuket is set to extend the operating hours of its pubs and bars till 4am, with the new timing being tentatively scheduled to start on December 15. This decision was reached following a public hearing conducted by the Phuket Provincial Administration Office. The new operating hours are to be implemented in six zones on Bangla Road in the Patong area of Kathu district. In addition, 106 out of 229 entertainment venues located in the outer zones will also have their operating hours extended. The projected result of this extension includes a 30 to 50% increase in venue earnings and a 20 to 30% boost in employment rates. The decision came as a response to the observation that many tourists tend to explore the area from early evening, contributing to the island’s economy. In addition to this, six safety measures will be put in place concurrently with the extension of operating hours. The first measure involves installing CCTV cameras in the designated zones, which will be monitored by a special administrative unit and various agencies. by Mitch Connor Picture courtesy of Achadthaya Chuenniran Full story: The Thaiger 2023-12-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
