Thai Visa launch another Crack down

In one of the biggest forum in Thailand you can now see how desperate drinkers crying over Thai Visas April joke. They mixed real news with some “funny” news that some of the alcohol will be sold on certain hours and that all girls that want to work in massage palace must be over 40 years of age.

Here is the full “news” from Thaivisa.com and APRIL APRIL FOOLS DAY

Bars, shops and entertainment centers will closed based on a sliding window. Mondays close at 1:00AM, Tuesday 12:00 Midnight, Wednesday 11:00PM, Thursday 10:00 PM and Fridays at 9:00PM. Saturdays, Sundays and all official holidays, alcoholic beverages will not be allowed to be sold.

“The sliding window will reduce the problems with sudden alcohol withdrawal and allow family members to be able to spend more time with each other. Saturdays and holiday closures will improve Thai tourism and family outings”, says Boonlert Sukaparpraeng, consumption controller at the Department of Culture.

The sliding window could be different in various provinces allowing the creation of many jobs for coach and minibus companies to ferry foreigners around to the correct province to fit in with the well established pattern of Immigration decentralized offices, recently enforced by the Immigration Bureau.

Foreigners holding a valid work permit or residency will still be able to purchase alcohol in so called Mom’n’Pop shops during the prohibited hours.

“This is typical for the Democrat Party”, says Somchai Duemlaukaeng, Deputy chairman at the Consumer Protection board. “Thai people has one of the highest alcohol consumption pattern in the world per capita”. This will only increase the sales of Lao Khao in the provinces.”

Massage parlour minimum age

On April 16, another controversial law is being enforced. After that date, massage parlors can no longer employ anyone under the age of 40, and are required to register all employees as such. This will minimize the request by customers for “extra services” which can cause problems with marriages and minor wives.
