I do not understand that comment. Nothing is mandated as of today. What do you mean by “to close at PM”??
Bars (restaurants!) in Pattaya are permitted to sell booze without restriction until Sunday 9 January . Normal closing times apply.
Then they are to stop selling booze after 9 pm. I assume you can drink up, finish your meal, etc until later.
Boyztown bars have been totally closed “for your safety” since 6 January...see goji’s pic below.
I hope someone in the know can explain why they were totally closed 4 days prior to the ‘early closing’ date.
