Since December 15, when the Surat Thani province’s law permitting pubs, bars, and entertainment venues in specific areas of Bangkok, Phuket, Chonburi, Chiang Mai, and Koh Samui to stay open until 4am went into effect, the public has filed 5,785 complaints regarding noise.
As per a Government House source, the Interior Ministry has been directed by the cabinet to devise strategies to address these disturbances and submit an update to the Office of the Prime Minister on a quarterly basis.
Although national hotel regulations allow services within hotels to run until 4am, any entertainment venues that stay open past that time must strictly abide by the law, particularly the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act and the Entertainment Places Act.
It is against the law to sell alcoholic beverages to anyone under the age of twenty-one or to someone who passes out after drinking.
In fiscal year 2023, 57,399 complaints were filed, down from 67,919 in fiscal year 2022, according to the Office of the Prime Minister.
The majority of complaints were about noisy restaurants, entertainment centers, and festival gatherings. 5,607 out of the 5,785 cases have been settled.
Other complaints from the public included issues with electricity at 3,575. These included requests for more lights to be installed in pedestrian areas, a reduction in electricity bills, and an evaluation of the methodology used to calculate electricity.
With 2,355 cases, political complaints ranked third and included complaints about the general election, the campaign, the formation of the government, and the platforms of political parties.
