Vendors of alcoholic beverages and hotel and retail operators are calling for the further relaxation of nightlife entertainment rules and an extension of opening hours until 2-4am as pubs, bars and karaoke lounges struggle to survive.
Thanakorn Kuptajit, executive adviser at the Thai Alcohol Beverage Business Association, said the group was grateful for the government's decision to allow entertainment venues to sell alcohol until midnight, although some regulations remain.
