Mobi Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 A cop just came round the bars on Lake Mabprachan and told them that they all had to shut until 25th May (Sunday) Has anyone else heard about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JesseFrank Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I think it's only you because you were showing sky news yesterday after the curfew time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss1960 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Mulligan on Beach Road - just one example - is open right now, will close 8pm to allow the employees to reach home before curfew - so the answer to your question is obiviously no, the Pattaya bars are NOT closed today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well we've only just been told but it is rather peculiar, as there is nothing in the news or on twitter about bar closures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) The reality is that the specified Pattaya zones for licenced bars or entertainment venues do not include parts of Nongprue or Pong districts and they are subject to the whims of local police or municipal authorities. That's why the term "bar" is frowned upon in some of those areas. Edited May 23, 2014 by petercool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya46 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Don't know for this area, but on Walking Street some agogos are already opened ! and many will open along the afternoon knowing they will have to close early... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobi Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well cop No. 1 said close now. Cop No. 2 said to close at 7 p.m!!! As Peter said, it may be a local thing and not affect Pattaya proper. We will try to obtain a definitive ruling from Nong Prue council officials..... but don't hold your breath.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) MIsleading thread topic*; darkside isn't Pattaya. On Thursday night, most places of revelry in Pattaya self-policed and closed around 10pm with the police making rounds to ensure it happened. Last night, the Pattaya gogo bar I was in had been told by the police that it was 'probably OK' to close at midnight. It was still rocking and rolling when I left at 11.30pm but the waitstaff had started getting customers to check bin. * george must be loving the hit count though.

Barefoot Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Many Pattaya Walking Street go-go bars opened/closed early from 5-10PM last night and did a booming business. Everything closed promptly at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaii69 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Watched cam from LK Metro and Soi Buakauw and saw vacant business/streets at 11p.m. A lot of people mulling around Nongprue next to the police station so gatherings not enforced?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 In the end we turned the lights down at around 8.30 and shut up shop around 9.30. No sign of any cops. I don't know where anyone gets the idea it will be back to normal today. I haven't heard anything. I think the curfew will be in force for a few days yet - this lot mean business.

No matter how much might pay for it, ten different answers for same same simple question to the whodunnits', wheresitsats' and the heckaweys' , until after awhile it becomes clear. The truth is kept so secret that none really know wherein it lies, or how to tell it if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The bars will be allowed to open as normal when the military lift or change the curfew, I doubt any local cop would be in the know. It will come as broadcast statement as everything else so far, maybe at short notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will come as broadcast statement as everything else so far, maybe at short notice No. I doesn't work like that. There are no military in Pattaya, so bar owners do what the local police tell them they can do. Last night police came in WS say that agogos could stay open until midnight, as long as they switch their signs off. Problem is they said that at about 10pm when most agogos were already closing. A few of them though stayed open until midnight, and I bet most (all?) of them will stay open until midnight tonight Edited May 24, 2014 by Pattaya46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya46 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Did you miss the news about the Thai Navy taking over soi9 police station? No, I saw it, but it was yesterday morning, "long time" ago... I may be wrong, but the few navy guys who came there must still be in the station. I didn't see any military of navy guy in town, neither yesterday nor today. The only "true" police on WS yesterday were these 2 officers at about 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
