Not sure if you guys have remembered the date today . . .

It's a good job this news came out on April 1st. Otherwise, i'd be worried.

....yes shameless farangs.......I am paying 1.5M income tax per year.........

but cool I am only drinking beer..........

lucky me.....

good point, got me good

The problem with this April fools-day stuff is, that no matter how outragous it may sound, anything is possible in the land of nob and could be believed

How stupid. Just another way to rip off foreigners. Most of the local expats who live in Pattaya dont even go out during Songkran....they stay home or many of them leave the city. Why? They afraid of the drunks.....mostly Thais. Who has the most problems with alcohol related injuries during Songkran.....the Thais. Better to ban alcohol sales to Thias during Songkran!!

I posted a reply but it was deleted by a moderator - perhaps it was full of expletives (ha ha). So now I will just have to stockpile on booze to go around this mess. What is it about April that makes people so crazy?

ANY CHANCE THIS IS JUST A WELL PLAYED JOKE ON 1ST OF APRIL?

1 post calling someone a fool deleted. Please keep it civil.

Wasn't someone called April was it?

FOOL'S DAY, nice try guys............

Happy April fools day everybody.

1160 topic readers!!!!

Nice one TV

Has no one noticed the date today?

Many Weng farang here.

Nice April's Fool joke, with a good score on people who fell for it.

The danger however is that the Thai authorities might consider it a genuine good idea!

Similar things happen every year on the same date.

It's a first of April joke..hehe

I think the main strets will be okay, but definately a ban on the soi's and yaak's could prove beneficial

Should that happen in another country, my 1st guess would be "Happy April fool day", but we're in Thailand, so who know what could happen.

Wow

Guess more people will avoid Pattaya for this Song Kran, way to go for a Tourist city. Then wanting to hit foreigners extra, that is brilliant, I mean these terrible people bring in extremely needed foreign currency to Thailand, currency which help keep the Nation out of bankruptcy.

It's not good enough to have dual prices at every park, let's hit them with yet another racist tax on beverage. Let's do it in a city entirely dependent on their visit to survive, let's do it in Pattaya.

Way to go Pattaya... When they manage to get rid of enough thai and foreign tourists in Pattaya, the police will not be busy, that sounds like the idea here. Maybe they manage to get Pattaya even emptier than it is, maybe they ruin enough to get gone as a tourist destination. Who knows? Why don't they just proclaim there real intentions? Do they want to keep thai and foreign tourist away for Song Kran? Later on do they want to avoid foreign tourists?

I see no reason to go to Pattaya anymore, there are other places in Thailand with same scene, less hassle and now definitely lower prices.

Com eon boys and girls,do you know what day it is today
