Opening Time For Bang Chang Bars Slipped To 5.00pm

As Ban Chang is not a tourist area bars there have today been advised that they can only open from 5.00pm to 1.00am daily. In addition, customers can not buy drinks for bar staff.

A deposition of bar owners visited the local police chief to appeal but only got further confirmation that the shortened opening hours will be enforced.

As a key source of income for Bang Chang bars is golfers calling in for food and fun in the afternoons, after a round and before heading home, this ruling is a potential bar killer.

Do you know if this is still happening?

Most of the Ban Chang Bars close at 12 midnight, but there is always one open til late.

The Thai coyote bars like jonny walker and kareoke bars are still open to the early hours!!

Are the bars still closed in the afternoon, haven't been down that way for a while. If they're open, any recommendations for a good bar/girl with ST room?

I'm quite sure that not only is the no-LD rule unenforceable, but it would also face huge opposition from the local citizens.

I was in town last Saturday & bars were open before noon
during the weekday they usually close by 11pm, some 12

the "johnny walker" bar is called Boo Dog, Coyote
there's another hidden on the road behind Lotus called Rout 88 which is also Coyote dancers

this thing about no LDs I've never heard of & we bought plenty of them on Saturday

Bars are opening before 12 on weekends and just after 12 during the week.

Closing time is very flexible, I fell out of Mamas at 3 in the morning last week, only to find that Noot was still open.
