angsta Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 They were checking the ferang owned bars in Soi Bukhow last week as well when some football games were on. No license/bribe = no selling beer. They didn't seem so concerned about the Thai owned place next door, wierd that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWalkingMan Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Besides the moving goal posts... Does anyone know the step-by-step rules for a bar to become licensed? I would think, and I am usually wrong, that the business license department at city hall would have a check list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauljones Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 What about the police owned bars that operate after hours, run prostitutes, serve on restricted holidays, pay the staff less than minimum wage...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would in interesting to know if anyone knows for a fact how long, after Googling it appears some are saying 30 days not 3 months so I'm not sure. Maybe the closure was due to being being unlicensed for after hours??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
