PHUKET:-- Phuket Vice Governor Snith Sriwihok has confirmed that the legal closing time for entertainment venues outside of the entertainment zones in Patong and Karon is midnight, despite an open admission from local nightlife venue operators last week that they continued to trade until 1am.

 

The oddity presented itself when a group of nightlife venue operators from throughout Muang District – encompassing Phuket Town, Chalong, Rawai, Kata and Karon – submitted a petition addressed to Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong last Wednesday (Aug 2).

 

The petition called for the government to “extend” nightlife trading hours “from 1am to 3:30am”.

Not a smart move, this could easily lead to reinforcement of the midnight closing time.

More idiots in administration!

every large city in Thailand should have barbed wire fenced in section called a "free fire zone".

 

 

The vice-governor looks confused.

 

That is a very slim brown envelope.

How many Baht does that brown letter contain ....

isn't it nice to have it confirmed that there is a Vice governor, lol. nice to see someone is in charge of it.

Submitting a petition to break a law that you are already breaking?
