Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
I don't understand what your issue is. I don't get into necropolitics, I don't get into the attitudes of freakoners, whatever that is, I just know that every time I ride on the roads in Thailand the roads suck, and people drive like maniacs, and you can't read the road signs, and there's all sorts of stuff that jumps out at you like cows and elephants and water buffalo and crazy motorcyclists and I know they drink a lot and I've seen them drive drunk so what's the point. It's not like driving down Route 80 in Montana on a summer day at 6:00 a.m.. Are you claiming that the thais aren't bad drivers and don't drive like maniacs and have perfectly maintained roads and police everywhere? You want to see crazy come to Cambodia. Last time I rode out to the border on a bus, it was 2 hours of non-stop horn blowing. But there was only one dead body on the road so that was better -

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
