24 hour licenses proposed for Pattaya Bars during the high season months

 

25th November 2010

 

 

Pattaya Bar owners are becoming excited following news that venues in some areas may be allowed to open 24 hours a day during the High Season months. A meeting led by Khun Itipon, the Mayor of Pattaya, of local bar owners was held at Pattaya City Hall on Wednesday Afternoon. He explained that rules governing the operating of bars had to be strictly adhered to, such as no admittance for patrons under 20 and no employees could be under the age of 18. Better control of drugs and weapons within licensed establishments must take place. A letter is now being prepared and will be sent to the Interior Ministry to ask for a special zone to be created for Pattaya where bars can open 24 hours a day. For now the licensing only permits bars to be open until 2am, however most bars are being allowed to open later. It is hoped the new 24 hour license will stop some of the alleged corruption involving local government officials and Police Officers which was highlighted by delegates during the meeting.

New Bar Opening Times announced by Pattaya Mayor

 

2nd December 2010

 

 

A protest of over 200 bar workers from around Pattaya took place at Pattaya City Hall on Wednesday Evening. The workers, with placards demanding action from the City to extend bar opening times met Khun Itipon, the Mayor of Pattaya and his administration. He used the opportunity announce new and bar opening times for bars within the main entertainment zone and for those outside. He announced that bars within the zone will now be permitted to open until 04.30 and those outside the zone will be able to open until 03.00. There were conditions attached to the new times and the Mayor stated that unless Bar owners ran their businesses in accordance with Thai Law, the new opening times would be withdrawn immediately. He also mentioned that plans for 24 hour opening were still being discussed and a further meeting is planed on Friday. The protesters went away happy and will now wait for news on the proposed 24 hour licenses.

"unless Bar owners ran their businesses in accordance with Thai Law,"

 

So some bars are running their businesses in accordance with other than Thai Law?

 

Which other Laws? TAJIKISTAN Law?

 

This suggests to me that these bars are not owned by Thais, how could this be? I thought all Thai public officials ensured that the businesses and people in their realm, were Thai law abiding and honest.

 

Transpires that they may not be doing their job and even the Mayor alludes to this in speeches.

 

 

Oh dear!
