PHUKET: -- The Patong Police have confirmed they are still raiding and shutting down bars and nightclubs along and near Bangla Rd if they are caught trading past the legal closing times.

 

The news follows Tai Pan, one of the party area’s most popular late-night clubs, being closed for days last week amid silence from the owners. The club reopened last night.

 

“There has not been any special order to crack down on late trading. We are just following the Phuket Governor’s policy by law,” Patong Police Chief Col Chaiwat Uikam told The Phuket News today (Apr 24).

 

However, the order to crack down on late trading in Patong came under the governance of Phuket’s previous Governor, Chockchai Dejamornthan.

 

Gov Chockchai was then transferred to Bangkok by direct order from Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-ocha with immediate effect on April 4.

One word - idiots

It is just amazing. The venues in Entertainment areas are closed down.

Complaints about 20 hour Food and drink and disco activities in Residential areas with too much noise, and rowdiness is completely ignored, even if more then enough evidence is supplied to Patong Municipality, including lots of pictures. I wonder why. If somebody is interested I will supply all available evidence again.

Your forgetting, Money No1

 

Any noise in residential areas you mention are not cash cows, don't bother supplying lots of evidence or pictures, maybe suggest income streams from these activities - you may then get a response.

 

Last Gov'nr was daft enough to ask Bkok for extended hrs for 'The Party zone' making them allowed to open until 4am. Now who would lose the A-hem, (cough) spl payments for these venues if that was to happen, poor Govs feet did not touch on his way out...
