Thailand Nightlife Update

GOOD NEWS FOR A BOOZE CRUISE

Tiger Beer In ThailandFollowing the recent dry spell across Thailand, we are now green for go!Β  Tonight marks the return of alcohol and more importantly the tourist areas can open their bars.Β  Pattaya Police in particular, took harsh measures by immediately closing any go-go bar that attempted to open on Friday night.Β  As one established Pattaya go-go bar owner said to me, β€œThe Pattaya go-go bar owners will lose five nights takings this December.”  This is a crushing blow to some bars in Pattaya that are quite clearly struggling.Β  Not to mention all the poor farangs who have flown across the world to party in Thailand.Β  Anyway, the bars right across Thailand will be open and serving alcohol from tonight (December 16th).Β  All together now lads, β€œHOORAY!” 

There is a catch to this though.Β  Officially speaking, alcohol is NOT supposed to be served until 10:00pm tonight.Β  Let us hope that the boys in brown will let the β€œbooze cruise” kick off earlier at around 9:00pm.

REMINDER FOR DECEMBER 22nd AND DECEMBER 23rd

Angelwitch Go-Go Bar - Nana Plaza - ThailandSorry to say that next week on December 22nd and December 23rd, these are most likely to be β€œNO ALCOHOL” nights.Β  December 23rd is the BIG ONE because this is the day of the Thai Elections.Β  Thank the Lord when all this nonsense is over!Β  As you know, millions of people from all corners of the globe fly to Thailand.Β  Not surprisingly, all of us farangs are totally baffled, because we know we cannot vote.Β  Furthermore, most of us would have no intentions to vote even if we could.Β  Why should Westerners have to suffer the ban on alcohol?Β  The Thai authorities really dropped a clanger this year.Β 

BATTLE OF THE TITANS

Moving on to a much more exciting subject than politics; tonight there are two HUGE English Premier League football matches.Β  It is the Battle Of The Titans!Β  The mighty reds both face off in another epic encounter, as the English Premiership Champions Manchester United take on Liverpool at Anfield.Β  Meanwhile in the capital there is a London derby match where Premier League leaders Arsenal host Chelsea.Β  Both of these matches have the potential to be full of end-to-end electrifying action…
