Khun Komsan, the Deputy Governor of Chonburi chaired the meeting which detailed new licensing regulations. Over 500 business operators attended the meeting which set-out the current licensing laws which must be adhered to. Discussions relating to the responsibility of bar owners relating to drug use and underage workers and patrons also took place.
