There's nothing much happening before midnight that appeals to the die-hard 'clubber' . Not even in Pattaya. Yep, midnight is usually the earliest the crowds start hitting up the clubs. Any earlier and you will have the whole club for yourself & 5 other peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 lots of these gogos at WS have no title deeds and are buildt on Beach Land, so why u think they should be allowed to be open?Why would that concern me? I doubt most tourists or expats care one way or another about the title deeds of the club they're having fun in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the fun is over already..as i said why raid bars with proper paperwork while there are lots of joints without any paperwork?ps: i like parks and beaches much more then these annoying joints at WS.

JGV Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I wish the dear police and military would devote as much time to preventing mayhem and death on the roads as they do trying to curb activities that generally only affect the participants and usually the experience is positive and I am not talking about guns Total hypocrisy and humbug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooo Upto Me Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 On 2017-6-21 at 2:48 PM, Seismic said: Pattaya can never be a family friendly resort as long as there is so little parking, polluted beaches and water, terrible traffic, flooding , constant road works, scams and rip-offs. While they are trying to paper over the 'farang visited' bars, they dont seem to have done much about the numerous karaoke and thai bars that also feature prostitution. There is plenty of parking at Central Plaza & Royal Garden Plaza. So Wots the problem? Try parking in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 so LK Metro business is going to be booming, as well a Drinking street, and a few other Soiss?Well it's still low season. I doubt a 3am closing time will have much effect on any bar or gogo. Maybe the nightclubs (Lucifer, Insomnia, 808, Marine etc.) will be affected, if it is being applied to them.

gk10002000 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I don't mind a 3 am closing. But in the past it was always fun to be able to go to the hotel, take a long nap and then if bored hop on a baht bus or take a stroll down to a few of the places on walking street that were open until sunrise. Especially the places that were semi outdoors. I recall meeting a few people there after hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The Chinese tourists do not seem to have much interest in prostitution, other than the tours of sin city. So, they are cleaning up the country, to please them. Whatever the Chinese want, they get. Whether it be a high speed railway, at the cost of nearly 700,000,000 baht per km. Or less in the way of racy entertainment. Just ask, and you shall receive. Eliminating prostitution in Thailand is a tall order. But, they have been working hard to reduce it's influence in Phuket, Samui, and Chiang Mai. Fortunately for many, Bangkok, Hua Hin, and until now, Pattaya, have been holding their own. Phuket and Samui have been doing a nosedive for many years now, in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is apparent, all over the nation. And it has been for at least the past 5 years. The industry is in a dire state of decline on Phuket, and Samui. Less bars, less clubs, less action. Same with CM. The little bit of action that they used to have, is all but gone. Even in Bangkok, and Pattaya, a case could be made that it is not what it once was, though those areas do seem to be holding their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raids on those that break the law are nothing unusual. As prostitution is part of Thai culture, I doubt very much it could be eliminated, even if the authorities wanted this, which I see no sign of being the case.
