Pattaya reopens its entertainment venues on October 18 after a temporary prohibition on alcohol sales during the Buddhist holiday of “Ok Phansa” on October 17.

PATTAYA, Thailand – As Pattaya reopens its entertainment venues on October 18 after a temporary prohibition on alcohol sales during the Buddhist holiday of “Ok Phansa” on October 17, police are stepping up enforcement to ensure compliance with standard regulations.

These proactive measures aim to prevent illegal activities, including drug use, underage patronage, possession of unlicensed weapons, and prostitution.

 

Officers performed random checks on entertainment venues serving alcohol, verifying business licenses and staff documents, and ensuring no illegal activities were taking place.

Whew thank god there is no prostitution, I was really concerned about that.

Love the Pic in the full story, many on the beach having a drink, and why not it's a holiday.

I think you are confused again.

They haven’t checked already, they will be checking from today.

All these funny laws, regulations and the interpretation left to the individual "officer" must be accounting for billions and billions of bakshish left right and centre. This whole rannygazoo on alcohol ban due to Buddhism - to take an example - is a Thai-government-made license to extort money by the "enforcers". All other Buddhist countries have no such restriction. Same with alcohol at the beach, no beach chair on Wednesday et al. 
Obviously the powers-to-be do not want to touch/change anything as it would derive them from substantial income - for themselves as well as for all those greedy goons higher up.

Pull my left leg and it rings Jingle Bells, all the way to the bank 😉
