Pattaya: 4 AM opening is great - but pubs must be "socially responsible"

Maybe the better idea is to keep an eye on the customers and anyone who looks worse for wear, give them an escort back to their rooms. (Discount bar fine).

Great for business. 

And gets those poor unfortunate girls who cannot afford too many clothes, a cosy bed for the night.

Excellent news.

But!!! They must stop the overcharging.

It is cheaper to drink in New York, Sydney or London (so I am told)

A friend visiting quickly packed his bags and went to Cambodia because of the ridiculous prices in Thailand.

It is easy to spend a couple of hundred dollars per person for a  night out on drinks. Multiply that by 14 nights add in the cost of food, bar girls drinks, a decent bar girl, taxi, flight and the hotel. It is an expensive holiday (for nothing special) for the average single guy.

I am told this by many single guys who are simply not visiting this fantastic Kingdom any longer.

 You should never tell a drunk person to do anything.

Exactly,i used to own a bar and you know there is going to be a fight when you tell a drunk he is being cut off.

give him another beer and he is happy!!!

Unbelievable - Amazing Thailand! For Thais as well? Can you imagine a boozing tourist, or ex-pat, in a bar playing pool with a Thai lady (I will be polite on this) having to go and check in a "breathalyser' machine every time he wants another beer!

no That would be more honest if it read brothels should be more socially responsible, nobody goes there just to drink beer.

True I go to listen to some very god bands that play there. Hot Tuna bar is a good night put. I take the gf with me so no need for brothel service.

 

What do you have against brothels anyway?

Best thin g to happen apart from 24 hour trading. The worst case is all pubs/clubs closing early and hundreds of people all spilling out on the street at the same time. Recipe for trouble. Some parts of Australia trialled late closing - say 4 am to keep it relevant. BUT you cannot get in after 2am. So if you leave a club after 2 you can't get into another one. You can stay till 4 if you don't leave. The rationale behind this was to avoid the mass crowds all on the street at the same time.

Your wasting your time, a lot of ex Pats have left here who drink in the bars, and living now in social place overseas with less hassels, where there is no BS with the problems we see here. They have done a good job, getting us to leave. Now, lets face it, no chinese, indians go to bars at all. This will be a ghost town very soon here in Pattaya, its almost there now. Good luck to the nob heads that have organised this stiuation.

Licensees should be prosecuted for serving drunken people and drivers for driving with excess alcohol. Both are the job of the police in a civilised country.

I think you be more comfortable in police state Australia. 

Slowly Thailand is becoming “civilised,expensive and westernised “

"Damrongkiat believes that Walking Street is the best place to set up a pilot scheme for extending the opening hours to 4 am. 

 

The area is easy to control safety-wise and is a "landmark" in Pattaya, he said."

 

No problem with the Walking Street until 4. But please not everywhere in Pattaya. All these open air bars create a lot of noise and there are many people who want to sleep - hotel customers, people who have to work, children who have to go to school or simply need to sleep early and many other residents. And only 1 noisy open air bar is enough to disturb hundreds of people.
