Hua Hin bars closing at midnight
Re: Hua Hin bars closing at midnight
From my recollection, closing bars on the King's birthday is a thing of the past. They were open last year and will be open this year. The king himself said in his birthday speech (I think 2005) that he didn't want entertainment venues closed for his birthday.

On 80 they said they would close at midnight tonight......but open midnight tomorrow
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!
Re: Hua Hin bars closing at midnight
Then they are closing out of Paranoia. I actually made a visit to the cop shop today and asked the COP. He told me that there are no plans to close bars tomorrow.
Re: Hua Hin bars closing at midnight
Just to follow up on this paranoia (none of the paranoids have), I had a drive around this afternoon. I'd say at least half the bars in Soi 80 are open and serving drinks openly. I had a drink in Soi 94 and a couple of BIB were also having a drink. I asked them why so many bars have closed. Their answer "Up to them. Maybe they're Thai and enjoy the King's birthday"
I'm sure that most of the bars closed today have done so because they thought they had to. Or maybe I'm wrong and they closed voluntarily to celebrate his majesty's birthday.

Re: Hua Hin bars closing at midnight
the Royal Thai Police yesterday stating that there would be no formal ban in the kingdom
So the closing of bars was a request only.Mr Chiraphat explained that the request is not an official ban and though businesses who choose not to comply with the request would not be subject to criminal charges under Thai law, police "may visit the business to have a talk".

A few bars was closed last night, but for most it was business as usual.

We closed so our girls could join in with the celebrations around the King's Palace etc.

I really like this forum because there are no personal attacks. All the members contribute in a positive way to my posts.

Re: Hua Hin bars closing at midnight
Easy to find bars open to atleast 3 am, sometimes with the door closed but still open..
