craigt3365 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 With a significantly higher increase of TEA MONEY. I would think the tea money would go away as it would now be legal to be open until the wee hours....as opposed to now having to pay for that. Maybe this is a good thing?

doggie888888 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Does anyone know exactly where this 24/7 entertainment zone is? Just so we don't accidentally buy an apartment next to it! Or if it extends anywhere near me, I am selling fast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not making it worse. Just licensing what is already a fact. Agreed, and all for greed too. The largest parts of Walking street are would be the largest likely location for 24/7 One benefit is it brings the punters away from the other 2am venues more easily. Rather than just hang illegally in other areas, they will go where the action is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david555 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 With a significantly higher increase of TEA MONEY. and not forget the "special 24 HOURS LISCENCE tax"......more money for the bosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the tea money would go away as it would now be legal to be open until the wee hours....as opposed to now having to pay for that. Maybe this is a good thing? I would not go that far. The cost of license and having it issued could be a nice lump sum upfront, instead of monthly payments Also license could be canceled for some reason or suspended and yearly renewal. If anything its more like legalizing the tea money Edited November 25, 2010 by kuffki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKASA Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 So 7/11 will also be open 24/7 to report crimes and pay fines? or even refill your phone card - Pattaya the hub of conveniences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchholz Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Also under discussion were three rules to be implemented throughout the city’s entertainment areas - no admission to those under age 18 No more tourists with their children on Walking Street? *edit to just add that the other two are no-brainers... no drugs and no guns.

The cost of license and having it issued could be a nice lump sum upfront, instead of monthly payments Also license could be canceled for some reason or suspended and yearly renewal. If anything its more like legalizing the tea money Understood. But this could be a really good thing. No more money to the "beat" cops, but paid at the head office with receipts? Even that would help a bit. But how different is that from other countries where you pay for a biz license? So 7/11 will also be open 24/7 to report crimes and pay fines? or even refill your phone card - Pattaya the hub of conveniences That actually would be fantastic. I got zapped by the gun a few months ago near Don Muang. Cop asked for my license and said I had to pay 500B at the station and could come back and get my license after that. Wifey asked if there was another way? He shuffled, leaned on the car, and said. OK, 250B now. If I could have just paid at the 7/11 and kept my license, I would have gladly done that. Just to avoid putting 250B into some crooked cops pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine some might be annoyed being stuck in a dead bar at 3 am even with OT I was being a bit tongue in cheek. Annoyed? Looking at their thousand mile stares at 8.00 pm is hardly enticing. Beer goggles and dingy lighting will no longer be an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking at this from a farang point of view. Beer bars are being torn down for new hotels and malls. I was in central Pattaya today....lots of new construction. Pattaya is growing for sure.

kuffki Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Nothing wil change at all. The only difference now would be instead of bars paying monthly, they will be paying yearly. Bars will operate same hours as now, some open till 8am, some open 24 hours. There are bars that have been doing 24 hours for the past few years.

Why would property rise if there is more new development? Would not perspective buyer buy brand new? or may be a large number of offerings will be reducing the price rather then increasing it? Thats how property market works in the West, do not know why it would be any different in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
