The new service, suggested by Dr. Tawatchai Laosirihongtong, director of the research and development department at the King Mongkut Institute of Technology, is part of the local administration’s efforts to ease traffic woes while further research continues into a more permanent solution as to whether Pattaya Second Road remains one-way or reverts back to the former two-way system.

It appears that the only person who understands the new entertainment legislation might be the person who wrote it, and even that is not a sure thing.

By now, most likely everyone who has any interest in the new law is well versed in the changes that have been making headlines, but of late, these changes are being altered. At a recent cabinet meeting Deputy PM Purachai Piumsomboon, head of the committee making the legislation changes, proposed classification for operating times in specific venues, such as bath massage houses and other entertainment venues, by separating operating times according to zoning. He is prosing these new variations due to mounting concern that the populace may try to invoke paragraph 50 of the constitution, which allows “the people” to overturn legislation if they gather enough signatures on a petition.
