The operators of night entertainment venues are renewing their call on the government to allow their businesses to operate until 4am instead of 2am as required by current rules, reasoning the extended opening hours will boost tourism spending and the economy.
Sanga Ruangwattanakul, president of the Khao San Business Association, said allowing night entertainment venues to operate until 4am will boost business earnings by 20-30%.
In a bid to convince the government to allow extended opening hours, Mr Sanga said bar and nightclub operators under his association have pledged to respect the rules.
“The operators are ready to comply with security and safety measures. We want a policy that brings in more income, not restrictions,” he said.
