SPACE CLUB
A Pattaya Mail report published 5 February 2025 records a Third Road inspection and says officers found no violations at Space. It does not state the year of the reported 3 January inspection and does not establish a 2026 schedule.

AFTER
HOURS
Licensed entertainment venues in Chon Buri may extend opening until 04:00 under a national rule effective since 15 December 2023. That ceiling does not prove any named venue's closing time, so this guide separates the rule from the schedules we could not verify.

// STATUS CHECK — 1 AUGUST 2026
WHAT THE SOURCES DO NOT PROVE
OSCAR PATTAYA
No dependable current operator schedule survived the 1 August 2026 review. Do not build a late route around an old directory time.
CASINO CLUB
No dependable current operator schedule survived the review. Its former listing is not evidence that it now opens or closes at a specific hour.
86 CLUB
No dependable current operator schedule survived the review. A prior midnight-to-five label has therefore been withdrawn.
TUNNEL CLUB
The evidence set does not contain a dependable current operator schedule. Directory data and network affiliation do not establish today's doors or closing time.
LATEST-CLOSING CLAIM
The review cannot name a “last room standing.” That comparison requires current, first-party schedules for every plausible candidate; those schedules were not available.
// WHEN THE VERIFIED STOP ENDS
RIDE-HOME SEQUENCE
01
CHECK THE DESTINATION
Before leaving a verified stop, open the destination's current operator channel or call it. A directory time or an old event post is not enough.
02
BOOK IN THE APP
Keep the trip recorded. Confirm the driver's name and vehicle registration against the booking before getting in.
03
SHARE THE LIVE TRIP
Grab and Bolt both publish trip-sharing tools. Send the link to a trusted contact before the vehicle moves.
04
KEEP OFFICIAL NUMBERS READY
Tourist Police publishes 1155; official and operator guidance identifies 191 for general emergencies, 199 for fire, accidents and rescue, and 1669 for emergency medical help.
// HOW TO RUN IT
AFTER-HOURS RULES
№ 01
04:00 is a ceiling
The Tourism Authority of Thailand says licensed entertainment venues in Chon Buri may extend opening until 04:00. It does not say every venue is eligible or stays open that late.
№ 02
Move by app, verifiably
Keep the booking in the app, match the registration at pickup and share the live trip link so someone you trust can follow the ride.
№ 03
Know which fare applies
A Pattaya Mail report says shared songthaew fares became THB 15 for 1–10 km and no more than THB 20 for longer routes from 10 April 2026. That does not price a private or app-booked trip.
№ 04
Keep official numbers ready
Tourist Police: 1155. General emergency: 191. Fire, accidents and rescue: 199. Emergency medical help: 1669.
Make the ride verifiable, not just booked. After the main circuit disperses, the practical problem is no longer finding another room; it is moving between scattered stops with a verifiable ride. Grab lets a passenger share the driver and trip details with a trusted contact, and Bolt’s equivalent link includes the car make, model, registration number and live location while the trip itself remains tracked. Send that link before the car moves, then check the registration against the app at pickup.
Both services also publish escalation tools. Bolt says its in-app Emergency Assist alerts an emergency-response team and prompts an immediate welfare call from its safety team, and it advertises support through the app or by phone at any hour. These features belong in the plan before a problem develops: keep the app open, preserve the trip record and avoid switching to an unrecorded ride midway through the route.
For outside help, use the current official numbers rather than an old screenshot: Thailand’s Tourist Police publishes 1155 as its hotline, and its app offers immediate help, translation and visitor information. The bureau lists 199 for fire, accidents and rescue, and 1669 for emergency medical help; Grab’s own Thailand guidance identifies 191 as the country’s general emergency hotline. More in the night-safety guide.
// QUICK ANSWERS
ASKED & ANSWERED
What is open in Pattaya after 4 AM?
This review found no dependable current operator schedule for Space, Oscar, Casino or 86 Club, so it does not name a venue as open after 04:00. Check the operator directly on the same night and plan the ride home before leaving a verified stop.
Why is 4 AM important for Pattaya venues?
The Tourism Authority of Thailand says licensed entertainment venues in Chon Buri may extend opening until 04:00 under the rule effective 15 December 2023. That is a ceiling for eligible licensed venues, not a promise that every venue stays open until then.
What is the latest-closing club in Pattaya?
The sources reviewed on 1 August 2026 do not establish a current citywide answer. Historical reports or directory hours are not enough to declare a latest-closing venue.
How should I arrange a late ride in Pattaya?
Book through the app, match the registration at pickup and share the live trip link with someone you trust. Keep Tourist Police 1155 and general emergency 191 available.

“Starting from today, the Thai government officially allows entertainment venues in ... Chon Buri ... to extend opening hours until 4 am. Only on New Year's Eve ... until 6 am of New Year's Day. Entertainment venues must have a licence to operate.”

Sources disagree — the police number shown on Grab's emergency-button page
Grab Thailand says The Grab page says its button keys 999. Tourist Police Bureau says The Tourist Police Bureau lists Royal Thai Police at 191, and Grab's own page separately calls 191 Thailand's general emergency hotline.
Editorial lead: Tourist Police Bureau. The current official police page is the authority for emergency contact information. The undated Grab wording is internally inconsistent and should not be repeated as visitor guidance.
What we could not confirm: Current operator-published hours for Space, Oscar, Casino, 86 and Tunnel — No dependable current operator schedules survived this pass. Whether the January 2025 Space inspection establishes a current 2026 opening schedule — It establishes historical operation and inspection outcome only, not present hours. Reliable late-night fare estimates between the listed rooms — App prices are dynamic and no bounded, reproducible quote was available.
