Thaifriends Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 1 hour ago, Burma Bill said: quote:- "pubs and clubs should have alcohol testing stations" 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! Bangkok On Nut Road on Friday night plenty of cops testing breath. In a bar who will test? Increase revenue or harass clients? Your point is clear as it makes no sense of testing alcohol station.

mhortig Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Typical. The government wants to curtail drinking (no alcohol logos on display), and minimize road fatalities, yet they want to make it easier for people drink themselves silly-go figure.

DJ54 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Breathalyzer should be available for those that want to use them. China has a zero tolerance for alcohol and there’s a service for those who drive you can message or the bar usual offers. The person shows up on a bicycle puts the bicycle in your trunk and drives you and home. Charge was less than a taxi and you didn’t have to go get your car the next day. They drivers have ID and are certified by provider. I felt bad I lived out in the middle of no where a new community. The MTR stops at a certain time ...usually the driver would catch that back into town. I asked the driver to stop so he’d be closer to go back, He said no you’ve had to much to drink.

I will resist the temptation to joke about allowing a Chinese person to drive one's car. That sounds like a great system and one that I would definitely use if it was available here.

Benmart Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Is this man aware that social responsibility is an unknown virtue in the bar/money/corruption world in Pattaya? Bars stay open in various areas until the sun comes up; serving booze, with music blarring and intoxicated patrons staggering to their scooters or on foot. What a pathetic situation.

And all the tuktuk driver will park in front and block those area demanding 500 baht per trip. What tuktuk driver? Pattaya does not have tuktuks.

yogi100 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 10 hours ago, RotBenz8888 said: Yes its ridiculous. The whole point of extended opening hours is to make people spend more, so bars should encourage binge drinking. Too true but with the way things are going with the exchange rates most punters are going to be spending less rather than more. Many of us are on a budget as it is and have been for the last few years. The bars can be open 24/7 but punters will still have the same amount of money to spend in 'em.

observer90210 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 In that case better first deploy say 500 extra burly police officers to contain the drunken brawls, the pickpockets, the necklace snatchers and other trouble makers should they be locals or farangs....
