Pattaya Cheers Potential Easing of Alcohol Sales Restrictions
File photo courtesy: Wikipedia In a progressive step towards boosting tourism and business, the Thai government is considering easing alcohol sales restrictions in Pattaya, much to the delight of tourists and local nightlife businesses. This potential policy shift aligns with the “Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism & Sports Year” campaign, which aims to rejuvenate the tourism sector by year's end. The current restrictions, which prohibit the sale of alcohol on Buddhist holidays and between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, have been viewed as barriers to economic growth. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's review of these laws signals an intention to create a more tourist-friendly environment, crucial for locations like Pattaya, where entertainment is a major draw. Lisa Hamilton, who leads the Pattaya Nightlife Business Association, welcomed the government's move to review these regulations. As she notes, easing the alcohol sales restrictions could significantly impact tourism positively. Pattaya, renowned for its vibrant nightlife, relies heavily on a steady influx of tourists, many of whom seek to immerse themselves fully in the local culture and entertainment. The existing sales bans have often resulted in uncertainty for nightlife operators and confusion for tourists. “Approaching Buddhist holidays, we constantly reminded each other about the alcohol ban. This step hindered our daily operations and cut into our potential earnings," Hamilton explained. "If these restrictions are relaxed, our business activities can flourish without unnecessary interruptions, enabling us to better serve our patrons." Tourists echo this sentiment, frequently finding the current prohibitions perplexing and disruptive. The restrictions often bewilder international visitors, who are unfamiliar with local customs, questioning why such prohibitions are imposed. There is optimism within the business community and among tourists that the revised regulations will be implemented promptly. By smoothing over these regulatory hiccups, Pattaya could enhance its appeal as a lively and inclusive tourist destination, fostering economic growth and local prosperity in a more sustainable and efficient manner. For Pattaya, often seen as a barometer for Thailand's wider tourism health, such policy adaptations not only promise immediate economic benefits but also improve the visitor experience, further cementing its status as a must-visit location on the global tourist map. The community eagerly awaits the official adjustments, hopeful that this forward-thinking approach will revitalize both nightlife businesses and the broader tourism economy, reported Pattaya Mail. -- 2025-02-14 -

Beach Birthday Brawl: Stabbing Shock Scandalizes Pattaya
Sounds like you are being wound up by the writing style, which wasnt done by a Thai. Don’t let it upset you. Watch the morning crime news on thai television. Foreigners hardly get a mention. That should cheer you up a bit. -

Student Hit by Car at School Crossing; Driver Faces Charges
Last time I was in Bangkok I stopped at a zebra crossing where people were already in the road. Cars and motorbikes were driving around me nearly running into those people on the crossing. Ignorant, selfish <deleted> is how I'd describe them. -

Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
You are reading what I post but seem to miss what I say. Either you lack comprehension skills or are such a narcissist that you can only argue with others because it's your nature. I know exactly how traffic accidents happen. I know all about data, as well as probably most others here, and we've known since we first took our tests in high school. I'm thinking you must come from a third world country that didn't have the data available for you, so you only learned this later in life. Those of us learned it as teenagers, with driving instruction from either our parents or professionals, and in classes that we took that were comprehensive, unlike here. AGAIN, and for the last time, we all know all about the data that encompasses accidents and why they happen, and also what could be done to prevent many. STOP REPEATING YOURSELF AND READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT! I DO comprehend all of what's said here. YOU don't. I know what makes a safe vehicle, so don't assume, again, that I don't. You are completely missing my points and I already understood yours before you left puberty. Stop replying because you're like a gnat that just won't go away, but remain annoying because it's what you are. If you don't understand what I'm saying, research what comprehension means and what it takes to achieve it, because skimming only lets you talk,and you're too dense to see there's another side. -

More Thais Staying Single, Impact on Weddings and Florists
Seems the Sinsod is still a factor more and more. Most farang seem attracted to a pre used pre married and a few kids from previous relationships. You throw the bundles of baht in the plate with expectations that it's just for show, and then family have already made plans for spending it. Day one marriage. Day two divorce.
