Bars open to 4am

[Random Hangman]

I was down town last night and ws told by several bar bosses that there had been a big meeting in the afternoon with the bars and the police.:beurk:

The out come is that the police have told the Bangla bars that they can now stay open to 4am.:love3: :

I am not sure if this is town wide or only the Bangla entertainment zone but I did hang around last night to check out the Bangla theory.Sure enough - all bars open till 4am.:rules:

This means that when I close at 2am I can still get a decent drink or two down town without rushing it.:info:

Incidently - me and Bobby Suks left the last bar in broad daylight at 7am.:love3:

I LOVE THIS JOB

Oh that helps my headaches!!!

Wonder if this will be a big trade down turn for Safari, because I used to only go there in days of old because when the bars shut at 2 I could carry on there til daylight, no need now.

Is this more than likely to be a 'low season' measure to help businesses along?

I'm still going to leave at 2 am in protest to the new rules...................Probably!

When am I supposed to bloody sleep! Tch! I dunno! :bad:

There's a new Police Superintendent in town apparently. I also heard him say that he's going to be concentrating on underage drinking and kids frequenting nightclubs. I guess if anything outside bangla is open past 2am then they can close them down.

Trying to monitor the underage drinking while assisting the tourism increase...

i'm sure the other discotheques will not be to happy either, ie tai pan, seduction

At least there be able to see the underage drinks because im sure there be alot less frangs in them.

The new police boss also talked about young girls working, that girls should be 20+. tourists should be able to get a temporary driver license instead of being fined, and that bars should respect closing times in their areas etc.

He dont seem to know too much, people with a national driver license havent been fined for a long time althought by law an int driver license/permit is required by law.

The new police boss do seems to have tourists in mind, so overall the new boss care about tourists and tourism businesses.

4am closing..it doesnt really affect me these days I dont think I would last that long even if I was drinking water all night,good news for the guys that like to kick on to the wee hours of the morning.

 

[Jessica]

Are you serious there Flop.....I recall you drinking til 4 on the morning of a fishing boat trip!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Roger M]

regarding the clubs - heard a few will be allowed to open until 6 and safari will be closed or will die a death anyhow

 

[Pompal 09.]

Good to see Crusty and Nicke - looks like common sense prevailing and I dont have a problem with them targeting the u/age element.

Good luck to the new police boss.

 

[Pompal 09.]

you gotta get your a55 down to patts, the place never closes !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr.noitall]

Not much happening in Pattaya after 2am IMO.. I have given it a few tries now. You can always find somewhere to drink, but most of the action seems to end too early for me there.

Bash Pattaya :intello:

 

[umad???]

really?
when i use to go to Pattaya, i found plenty of discos open real late
those Marine disco near Coyotees were always open late

 

[mandm68]

Erik, you just head out earlier.

It works in BKK & Pattaya............No reason it cannot work in Phuket.

 

[PaulKnorr]

I prefer Bars

 

[oweaponx]

I think its more about what you are into.....if you like go-go-bars and discos, you go t Patts, if you like beer-bars you go somewhere else.........
Got some interesting input lately from first or second-timers that tell me the same thing........Been to Bangkok, ok for a few nights, never to Patts, but I will try to get the time to have a look for myself.....what Ive heard so far, I dont think I would like it.......But its probably worth a try

There is a piece for everybody. I dont like Pattaya personally but sure a lot of people do. I found Phuket to be slightly more upmarket and have more decent people than pattaya. IMHO.

I havent been to Pattaya for many years so I dont know the current situation...
