It happened to my friend Rick: While he was away from his bar one afternoon, the brother of one of the cashiers (the only fellow in the place at the time... no customers) was bored and decided to listen to some Thai music on the stereo.In an instant, Thai police swooped in, and fined Rick's bar 50,000 baht for playing Thai music without a license. Non-Thai music? That's another license... and no matter what license you are trying to obtain, it's expensive.
Apparently Rick isn't the only one fed up with this licensing system. The Beer Bar Owners Association recently petitioned City Hall to make licensing easier and less expensive.
