ukrules Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Does anyone know why the bars are being forced to close at 1am all over Hua Hin? This has been going on for about 10 days now by the looks of it. I've seen the police driving down a road full of bars and ordering them all closed at exactly 1am several times now. This includes the karaoke area next to the hilton hotel, the nightlife is currently ending at 1am, party no more if you like to go out late and stay out even later !!!

KittenKong Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Sounds good to me. If I could be sure that it was permanent it would encourage me to move there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrendsd Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Nothing new - the bar closure times have varied between 12 1 and 2am for years Usual reasons are someone big from the Government or Royal Family in town New HH Police Chief "negotiating" the Tea Money required for the bars to stay open past the permitted time which in HH is 12 am I was in a bar on Friday on Soi 94 which closed at 2am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkcanuck8 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I actually thought the law actually requires bars to close at 1am -- or at least stop serving... and that police have not fully enforced it... if that is so then actually enforcing the law seems quite reasonable and actually proper. (not saying anything on whether I agree with the law or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacuum Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 One would think that 8 hours of drinking (5pm to 1am) should be enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Along Soi 94 it is still 2 A.M. at the moment. P.C. Plod drives past at about 1.45 and waves to put the shutters up. That is the last we see of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alant Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Does Hua Hin have special resort status for serving alcohol that allows late opening. Here in Chiang Mai we are told the 12 midnight deadline is national law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Its probably to start the drunken road killing early to ease the A+E congestion???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Just the first round in negotiating the new tea money rate. The chief of police now has everyone's attention and everyone please send a representative to a meeting to find out what the new rates are.

HHTel Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Soi 80 and 94 don't seem affected and still open at 2am. Last night (Saturday) was no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everywhere except some specific entertainment zones of which there are only a handful in the country, where it is 1. As is usual with unpopular (or profitable for the police) laws its been ignored for decades except in rare cases (chiang mai post coup, police shakedowns, royal visits, etc) instead of actually having a sensible debate deciding a law and implementing it.

zhounan Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hut hin is the royal family residence. Probably in these days there is an important person visiting the Hua Hin roads. You know Thailand is a theater...they like positive social image, appearance, and reputation. Moralists without morality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally3220 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 As a Bar owner in Hua Hin I can confirm that we all received a letter saying that there had been noise complaints and we were to shut at 1 am. That seems to have been lifted for now and yes we have to pay extra tea money to stay open for the extra hour (2 am) A lot of the bars do play Thai music at full blast so the noise complaint is plausible.
