We were in the bar last night when 5 guys in a sort of uniform (not police or military) came in, walked straight to the girl behind the bar and told her that ALL bars must close at midnight on orders from the governor in Prachuap. I tried questioning them, but none of them spoke any English. 3 Thai customers, including a policeman asked what it was about, and were told the governor had ordered all bars to shut early because they were girly bars or karaoke, playing music far too loud. When the policeman pointed out that this was not a girly bar, and not a karaoke, but we were playing pool and watching the F A cup, they said OK this rule or law? did not apply.
Thats right, they know that both the police and tourist-police are getting paid, so I guess they
think they deserve some as well. I`ve been told there has been a couple of meetings during the
past week, and now its lights out at midnight and doors closed at 1 AM.
Somebody needs a new computer etc..
