Spreaders of Conspiracy Theories: Unmasking the Motivations Behind the Lies

[bartender100]

All bars closed last night at 3am by police, heard the same for tonight

[Thailaw]

Gee, that's a shame. I will only have been asleep for 2 hours when they shut it all down..... Really, is closing at 3:00 am a problem for 99.456% of the population, even in Pattaya?

[manarak]

it is really not worth it paying for longtime if you are still in the bars at 3 am...

haha. made me laugh out loud that

[Spoonman]

I thought they had to close at 2am, good news they got a 1 hr extension.

[kuffki]

i was also trying to find some info on the matter. I get sms from Insomnia saying 2am.

Last night some guys in soi 7 mentioned that the other night there were lots of fights so the street was closed early-do not know how reliable that information is.

There is no info anywhere on the matter and the reasons for it.

The only thing can think of possibly is a change of chief of police or may be a visit from BKK.

So lets hope when all the jokers on this forum go to bed, people with some information might be able to shed some light on the matter.

[kuffki]

Just an update to what i manged to get. No one has any definitive information but appears BKK police are in town. It may all blow over by tomorrow, because if it does not, this high season may end up being little low season for Pattaya anyway. Places like insomnia and Mixxx or Marine do not get going until 2am

[spiderleghead]

not fair!!! mum said i could stay out till 4 tonight

[Thailaw]

Three hours and twenty-four minutes, and counting....... make that 23 minutes, and counting......

5 hours for me...the earlier the better...Pattaya is now a "family resort."

[Tokay]

My grandma used to tell my sister, "the only thing open past midnight is your legs."

Always got a kick out of that. Though, I somehow don't think old granny knew anything about Pattaya when making such a statement.

To us guys who like to stop out till 7am yes this is a problem

2am on Saturday night. Marine 2 is open though the crowd is farely sparse. Beer bars and pool centres open too though with the lights dimmed.

Agree with comment about long times should be taken out early unless you get them to stay until late afternoon.

A bar owner in the LK Metro area told me that it's a 5 day crackdown by Bangkok Police, nothing the Pattaya cops can do about it. Bars in that area (Club Blu was mentioned) had also been raided, so it's not specific to Walking Street. He said they are enforcing 2:00 AM closing. So expect this to continue for 3 more nights, though it's possible they may get bored and clear off early back to the smoke and grime in Bangkok.

Yeah thats what i gathered also, i think by Monday all will be back to normal(lets hope so)so all of us the bad people who do not go to sleep at 9pm can go out and have some fun

[contemplating]

Seems that Pattaya police are not highly regarded by their comrades in BKK. Or maybe the BKK police have already cleaned up BKK, so now they have time for Pattaya. Or................

[kuffki]

Bill Clinton is also in the country, so possibly they want to make Pattaya look "nice" if he decided to drop by for an oral check ups

[Tokay]

Shame the BKK police doesn't do anything about the jet ski scams. Easier to target hookers and boozers I guess.

[phaethon]

...nothing the Pattaya cops can do about it.

Well... they could offer a refund....

Yearly excursion of the BKK Police to Pattays, nothing special.

[geriatrickid]

What happened to the clean approach and enforcement of regulations from the new Pattaya police chief? Didn't he start off by raiding the pervert gathering points first and have those famous perp walks? Don't tell me that this champion of law enforcement has gone over to the darkside?

How else would he pay for his new position?

That could be good news - maybe they'll reopen Clinton Plaza?

Definitely a more worthy contribution to solving poverty issues than all that touchy-feely Clinton Foundation stuff :lol:

Something tells me that Clinton wouldn't venture within 100 km of Pattaya -- imagine what the media would do with that! (flashing between pictures of him, Lewinski's bar and .....) I am sure that he can find all he needs (or someone can find it for him) in the City of Angels. There is most definitely another (better) explanation for the "early" forced closings....

and that explanation would be ????

How was last night (Sunday)? i never ventured out, but all the Thai places nere my condo were silent by 2am, normally at least 4am, so i am guessing things are still being controlled.

You make it sound like Bangkok police were getting bored and decided to do some policiing in Pattaya. It must be some higher authority task force that are stationed in Bangkok, not Bangkok police.
