Unbelievable,isn't under 20 year olds drinking alcohol not a licensing irregularity

It's a restaurant not a bar, so while illegal not really a major breach , because under 20 can be in the restaurant

The "shut down Bangkok" movement was not very successful in the recent past. Is this a new attempt?

[Bernard Flint]

Its amazing how thais flaunt the rules of opening and booze license, then play music so loud, they will get complaints, a load of nutters if you ask me

Half of me hopes this is a sign that pattaya will get serious about stopping businesses making unreasonable noise at unreasonable hours near residential areas.

The other half thinks it's just another "for show" performance using a convenient scapegoat who probably did not pay off the correct officer.

Only time will tell which half is correct although my money is on the second scenario.

It depends on the actual music!

Wow! What a nest of vice!

[emilymat]

Raided?. Why not visited. They love their headlines. What were they, a swat team?

If you dont like noise then dont rent near south pattaya rd.

If you dont like noise then dont rent near south pattaya rd.

Unfortunately these noisy establishments can pop up anywhere, overnight. I can point to one or two karaoke places in Jomtien that must make the lives of nearby residents a living hell.

Thailand needs to develop serious rules about zoning, and apply them without exception. This should include banning all noise near existing housing areas or condo buildings.

It`s amazing the amount of places like this about, not sure if it`s this one that`s on the corner of pattaya tai and soi khao pai, althougth there`s more further down the road, I have passed there six in the morning and there`s still loads on the old thai whiskey, aand they leave it like a bomb site until late afternoon to start again,

You pass there at six in the morning. Why not join them? Or are you on your way to a Presbyterian chapel to preach against the sin of fun?
