ukrules Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 It shouldn't matter if a police officer owns or part owns a bar / entertainment business. If they actually did their job and got rid of low level corruption it would not matter at all. What's next ? Banning share ownership in certain publicly traded companies ?

ttrd Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 RE - Police prohibited from bar connections If this law will be enforced similar to other laws in Thailand then the distance between every police (station/bar) will be shorter than between every 7-eleven...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucjoker Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 the new Rage is "party -houses" Almost broke farangs with huge houses for sale for years, rent out their house with swimmingpool to "hordes " of Thai people , in a party-house they have complete privacy and can drink and smoke and..... After 2 days they go back home completely exhausted and happy. Not so happy are the neighbors , witch have sleepless nights due to the mega bass sounds on the party. But useless to complain , police is perfectly taken care off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to decode your comments then you mean the army will in future be collecting the monthly "insurance' premiums and other miscellaneous money grubbing schemes? I don't think the army have the expertise to organise collections, competently manage a distribution list and see the money gets back to those who count. Won't happen.

That's not surprising, as chandeliers cost a lot of money. Judging by the fact that there are no visible farangs in the picture, and the appearance of the customers, I'd guess that this nightclub / bar is in an upmarket Thai area where the customers go to engage in consensual text and SMS.

I can assure you, that at least in Bangkok this has been going on since 1 month after the removal of the previous government. I can assure you that 1 month after the takeover, those little beer carts in Sukhumvit had their "rental" of the sidewalk go from 3,000 baht to 5,000 baht in a month. This was prior to the "bad boys out, tour busses in" policy the current government has taken a liking to, which has ruined (IMO) Bangkok nightlife. People I know that work in night entertainment are earning considerably less than they used to, customers are spending less because doors close earlier and prices have gone up too ensure any brown baht fat ones stay thicker than Kim Kardashian. I am also aware of rumours that although the Police run the show still in Pattaya, they only exert so much influence, as once the Army is in town it takes more paper in envelopes to keep places open than even the most cashed up establishments earn to stay open. I believe only 2 WS clubs would qualify and 2 bars that woukd "meet the mark set" that I know of. I am not suggesting this is sanctioned activity, but at some level allegedly takes place. As another poster mentioned, if Police had a different reputation things may be different - however I believe this is a power play to squeeze the head of the fish and see what comes out from the other end. Sad times for all those who love the nightlife here in Thailand.

Sad times for all those who love the nightlife here in Thailand. I don't doubt you. I was tongue in cheek before but Prayut and the army are now in full control and have cranked up the system to take the money away from the RTP and put it in the pockets of the RTM. New military distribution lists will be organised. The RTP will be pi**ed off and the boys will be some explaining to do at home when the income dries up. Army officers will be rubbing their hands.

Wonder nevertheless, how and if, the law will be enforced? And for the cops currently involved in such business ventures, what steps will be taken? good question!!! on our island and Phuket, they are either major investors or silent partners in many bars, and many they aren't involved with, they collect monthly or seasonal envelopes from bars holding parties and/or selling drugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they collect their dividends on a nightly basis. I suppose those could now be reinvested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker9000 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 This could prove interesting. 'Supposedly and publicly an end to police ownership, but I suspect it's more likely the beginning of something and a continuation of other things, but probably not an actual ending to anything.
