YUUHI - Criminal Beach Club and KaraokeBar in Phuket

YUUHI IS OPERATING WITHOUT THE REQUIRED LICENSES.
AND SOMEONE IS MAKING SURE IT CONTINUES.

This is not rumor. This is not exaggeration.

If you live in Bang Tao Beach, you already know the noise. If you've been there at 3 AM, you already know the truth.

YUUHI is not operating within the law. It is operating around it — with a license that doesn't match what it actually does, in a zone where what it does isn't allowed, under the protection of officials who should have shut it down long ago.

A RESTAURANT LICENSE COVERING A NIGHTCLUB

Under Thailand's Entertainment Place Act B.E. 2509, any venue offering music, dancing, or amplified entertainment for customers must hold an entertainment venue license (ใบอนุญาตประกอบกิจการสถานบริการ). That license requires the venue to be located inside a legally designated entertainment zone. It requires compliance with operating-hour limits, building-safety standards, and noise regulations.

YUUHI does not hold an entertainment venue license.

It holds a restaurant license — a food-service permit that carries none of those restrictions, none of those zoning requirements, and none of those safeguards. On paper, YUUHI is a place that serves food. In reality, it is a nightclub operating under a license meant for something else entirely.

This is not a gray area. Under Thai law, the moment a venue offers live or amplified entertainment — a DJ, a sound system aimed at a dance floor, bottle service, event nights — it crosses into regulated territory. It requires an entertainment license. It requires an entertainment zone.

YUUHI has neither.

A restaurant license does not authorize:

  • Nightclub-style events with DJs and sound systems
  • High-capacity late-night gatherings
  • Continuous alcohol service into early-morning hours
  • Amplified entertainment in a residential neighborhood
And yet — every weekend, and increasingly every day — YUUHI becomes exactly that.
Lights. Bass. Crowds. Alcohol. Until 4 AM. Sometimes 5.

Every week. Without the license the law demands.

WRONG LICENSE. WRONG ZONE. NO ENFORCEMENT.

legal violations run through every night YUUHI operates:
The license is fake in practice. A restaurant license cannot cover a nightclub. The Entertainment Place Act is explicit: venues offering entertainment must hold an entertainment license. YUUHI uses a food-service permit as cover for an operation that has nothing to do with food.

The location is illegal for this operation. Even if YUUHI held the correct entertainment license, it still couldn't legally operate where it does. Under Ministerial Regulations on Entertainment Place Zones and Phuket's own provincial orders, entertainment venues are restricted to designated zones — primarily the Bangla Road corridor in Patong, portions of Kata and Karon, and select streets in Phuket Town. Bang Tao Beach is a residential area. Nightclubs do not belong here. The law says so.

PERMIT LIMITS — IGNORED

Under local regulations:
Businesses in residential zones must follow strict closing times

  • Alcohol service is restricted and controlledc
  • Noise levels are legally capped
  • YUUHI exceeds all of these—consistently.

This is not a one-time violation.
This is an operating model.

THIS REQUIRES MORE THAN JUST INTENT

For a business to repeatedly:

  • Operate outside its licensed category
  • Operate outside its permitted zone
  • Extend alcohol service beyond legal hours
  • Exceeding permitted noise levels
  • Avoid meaningful shutdowns or penalties

…it requires more than disregard for the law.

It requires absence of enforcement.

WHERE IS THE ENFORCEMENT?

Complaints have been submitted.
Evidence has been recorded.
Activity is visible and ongoing.

And still:
- No sustained intervention
- No operational suspension
- No correction of licensing violations


This raises a necessary question:
Who is responsible for allowing this to continue?

TWO SYSTEMS. SAME SILENCE.

There are only two authorities responsible for stopping this:
-Local administrative offices — responsible for permits, zoning, and licensing compliance
-Law enforcement — responsible for public order and legal enforcement

Both are aware.

Neither has acted effectively.
A venue operating with a restaurant license while functioning as a nightclub, in a residential zone where entertainment venues are prohibited, continuing night after night without consequence — that doesn't happen by accident.

Someone signed that license. Someone inspects — or doesn't inspect — that venue. Someone decides whether a noise complaint at 3 AM warrants a response. Every night YUUHI stays open is a night someone in authority chose not to act.

TO THE AUTHORITIES

If the permits are valid — show them.
If the operation is legal — explain it.
If enforcement exists — apply it.

Until then, the situation speaks for itself.
