Thailand Pass welcomes you all to the best holiday destination with the atmospheric night life never to be forgotten.

A night in the police cells and likely a 10,000 baht fine for daring to try to enjoy yourself...

That is the kind of public relation to lure more tourist...

I was considering December....possibly January now...I'll stay in Europe until they come to their senses - getting arrested for drinking = big disincentive to come.

Is that the Lisa TAT wanted to invite for New Year ?  Perhaps this was  just an audition then and the punters thought she was so bad it drove them to drink perhaps.

The way it's going, I'd guess the tourists will be booking a holiday in Afghanistan.

Will the customers also be arrested in the future because the pub owner does not pay his taxes or lets stuff work without papers?

After cracking down on sharing and producing porn online, now they will catch someone named Lisa in the middle of doing it on the beach?

"Chon Buri Communicable Disease Committee is developing a plan to reopen bars and nightclubs."

 

No need a useless made up plan, just say you can open the bars and nightclubs it is that simple... 

[HolyCowCm]

It’s almost like their own sharia thai law.

Request denied...that's what happen when they are impatience, cannot wait until Dec 1. So as of now, it's closed forever until further notice or else another outbreak coming up.

They asked 40,000b from each farang not to go to jail, they said no. In the morning they were each fined 2500b

Its the corrupt RTP that should go to jail, along with the state leaders who support them in their criminal activity.

40k per person (farang) could be a business model

If that ever happened (within a million years) it would be a five-star prison with room service.
