Vice panel's plan creates fun zones for adults
Published on Feb 7, 2004
Entertainment venues in designated areas across the country will be allowed to stay open an hour or two longer than those outside the zones if the Cabinet endorses yesterday's decision by a high-level government committee.
Deputy Prime Minister Purachai Piumsombun's committee in charge of combating vice at entertainment venues agreed yesterday to set different closing hours for night spots in different zones, according a source who attended the meeting.
Some areas would be zoned for adult-oriented entertainment.
Purachai's panel decided that in designated zones, entertainment places with hostesses should be allowed to stay open until 2am, while those outside would have to close by midnight.
It was also agreed that massage parlours inside the zones should be allowed to operate from 4pm to midnight, opening two hours earlier than those outside the zones.
In Bangkok, the zones would cover the Patpong area and New Phetchaburi and Ratchadaphisek roads.
The panel believes that longer operating hours would encourage owners to shift their nightspots into the designated zones, said the source.
Yesterday's decision will be forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration on Tuesday.
The new rules, if endorsed, would be included in an Interior Ministry regulation to be imposed under the Entertainment Venue Act, which came into effect early last month. The new law sets no specific hours for entertainment venues.
Yesterday's decision appeared to be a compromise between the Interior Ministry, which previously proposed a midnight closure, and entertainment-venue operators, who want their businesses to stay open after the current closing time of 2am.
At a meeting early last month, the Cabinet resolved that the midnight-closure proposal submitted by Deputy Interior Minister Pracha Maleenont be referred for review to Purachai's panel.
Pracha cited the need to keep young people away from drugs and other vices as a reason for shutting bars at midnight.
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra at the time questioned the rationale of a blanket closing time.
Purachai reportedly told those who attended yesterday's meeting not to speak about the decision. Pracha was absent from the session. He is on a trip to Europe and sent one of his advisers, Surapol Kiatchaiyakorn, on his behalf.

SURPRISE!...the cabinets gone and endorsed the damn proposals:
CABINET DECISION: Anger over midnight closing time
Published on Feb 11, 2004
The Cabinet yesterday endorsed a new regulation for a midnight closing time for most entertainment venues, while allowing nightspots in designated zones to stay open two hours longer.
After a brief discussion on the proposed regulation, the Cabinet agreed to an earlier decision by a government committee which called for different closing hours for nightspots in different zones, Deputy Interior Minister Pracha Maleenont told reporters yesterday.
Owners of night entertainment venues yesterday denounced the decision, labelling it a death sentence for businesses and bad news for tourism.
Deputy Prime Minister Purachai Piumsombun’s committee in charge of combating vice at entertainment venues proposed the different closing times on Friday. The new closing times come into effect on March 1.
All entertainment venues outside the designated areas, including food shops selling liquor and music, will now have to close at midnight instead of the current 2am.
In the designated zones, nightclubs and bars can stay open until 2am, while pubs and discotheques are required to close at 1am.
Shops selling khao tom (rice porridge) can stay open all night as they are not covered by the new law, Pracha said.
However, the shops must comply with relevant laws, such as the smoking ban at all food outlets.
In Bangkok, the zones designated for entertainment venues cover the Patpong area and New Phetchaburi and Ratchadaphisek Roads. The Interior Ministry regulation will be imposed under the Entertainment Venue Act, which came into effect early last month but sets no specific hours for entertainment venues.
Pracha voiced concern, however, that entertainmentvenue operators could take legal action against the Cabinet for breach of their constitutional rights.
But Purachai told the Cabinet he had no such worry, he said.
The deputy interior minister said that personally he believed the same service hours should be applied to all night entertainment venues to allow easier supervision and enforcement for authorities. But the ministry was ready to follow the decision.
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra told the Cabinet yesterday that efficiency of enforcement rather than a possible violation of the Charter should be the main concern, the source said.
Somyos Suthangkoon, who heads an association of entertainmentvenue operators, said the early closing time would have a severe impact on most nightspots.
Allowing nightclubs and bars to stay open for only three hours a day was “strange”, compared to eight hours for massage parlours. “Everybody knows massage parlours is the front for what,” Somyos added.
Praphan Pumchaosuan, leader of entertainmentplace owners in the Patpong area, said yesterday that shorter service hours would drive away foreign tourists.
The new regulation will take effect in all provinces, except Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Samut Prakan and Uttaradit, where the zones for entertainment places have yet to be designated, deputy government spokeswoman Sansanee Nakapong said yesterday. In the four provinces, the current opening hours will be retained.
Praphan Pumchaosuan, leader of bar owners in Patpong, said yesterday shorter service hours would drive away foreign tourists.
The new rules will take effect nationwide, except in Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Samut Prakan and Uttaradit, where entertainment zones have yet to be designated.

News of the curfew ban on under 18s also made breaking news on BBC.
Under 18s going out with their parents after 10pm will be deemed inappropriate??? I often visit Spain were the bars are open till 5 in the morning and the kids sometimes stay up to well beyong midnight with their parents. It doesnt do them any harm?does it?
Thailands Land of Smiles title just doesnt seem appropriate!

A Thai has just told me that they have had a genuine problem with teenage gangs for some time. Whether this is the right way to solve it remains to be seen?

I am sort of lost for words, they say they are doing it to protect there children, but we all know its to kill or try to break down the p4p scene.
Opening bars at 6, is going to kill loads of jobs, like my fav bar on Soi 22 will loose its entire day shift as they finish at 6.
History has proved that reducing opening hours just means that people drink quicker, even the UK is looking at increasing its opening hours to combat binge drinking.....
As I have np prob not drinking to 6 and going home with a TGF at 12, I am pissed off that I will not be able to have lunch and chill playing pool in the afternoon...........
Just imagine no GT for lunch.............. No Bamboo for breakfast........ no NewBlueWave for playing pool in the afternoon................... or will they get round the rules by opening early and not serving beer etc............
I am back in April and I honestly believe that the normal suspects will still be open late into the eve.......... how can they stop my mates bar in Pattya shutting the music off at 12 and then we nip to the 7:11 get some thai whiskey and beer in and sit, chill play pool until the sun comes up.
Well I bloddy hope not
