Last night.. Beer republic niman.. they came round with the bill, unasked for at 11:40.. With some protest we managed to get them to add another round to the bill (they wanted us to have plastic 'to go' glasses but we promised to drink it speedily) and the staff said they have 'to be closed' by 12, not closing.. so the way they see it is not last orders at 11.55, rather closed by 12.

Warm up heaving with people, and yes served at 12 or 12:15 but only small beers no larges and we couldnt get a second by 12:15 or 12:30.. Also damn they have a big crowd in there.. Seemed like 100s spilling out for a wed.. dont these people have work ??

12:30 maybe 12:45 outside spicy the road was teeming with people all kicked out.. Even my usual lock in was done and dusted.

If you add up those 100s of people all trying to spend money and not being able to.. The cumulative losses to the local economy are just mind blowing.

Got no figures as does every one else. But I bet the 7/11s add more to the economy. According to another Decent English speaking news paper in Bangkok the 300 meter law will not include existing business.
