Kanlaya (2012) stated that an entertainment is a source of happiness where people go in order to, decrease the tensions of their daily life, compete with the time, and rest due to exhaustion after work. Because of these mentioned, entertainment venues can increase the income as well as become successful and has expanded continuously. Entertainment industry is one of important components of the tourism of Thailand, which is growing rapidly and enormous income has positive effect to Thai economy as the important source of revenue in Thailand (Danu, 2007). Maha Sarakham Province is a large province in Northeastern (Isaan), Thailand and dubbed to be the educational center of the Northeastern region apart from being the province with growing investment in many aspects simultaneously, especially in real estate located next to educational institutions, including the bypass zone called Maha Sarakham Municipality - Roi Et, Teenanont Road, and also Srisawat Damnoen Road or Na Pai Road. There are 955,644 people living in Maha Sarakham and 154,254 people living in Maha Sarakham Municipality (Department of Government, Ministry of Defense, Online, 2013). Maha Sarakham is considered as a significant area for business owners when comparing to the numbers of visitors. Therefore, the government organizations fully support with tourism development policies of Tourism Authorities of Thailand (TAT) and Department of Business Administration (Jarinee, 2003). Apart from local people in the area of Maha Sarakham Municipality, there are people from different areas who visit during festivals in various tourist seasons. Maha Sarakham Provincial Statistical Office obviously revealed that in 2014, there were 282, 862 visitors and the revenue from tourism rose up totaling million baht. As mentioned, it is initially obvious that there is a large number of customers of entertainment spots in Maha Sarakham Province with popularity of using services of various types of entertainment venues continuously. วารสารว ชาการศร ปท ม ชลบ ร 153

3 Furthermore, the results of the surveying household economic and social conditions in 2014 revealed the comparison of household expenses in years , that is to say expenditures on food, beverages and tobacco accounting for 34.1 percent in 2012 and 33.9 percent in 2014 (National Statistical Office, Online, 2014 b). This is obvious from the total figures of selling liquor and beer of Area Excise Office Maha Sarakham in only Municipality of Maha Sarakham neighborhood, which have increased continuously. SkyscraperCity (Online, 2013) website stated that in year 2011, the total sales were 14,331, liters and rose to 17,075, liters in During the first 7 months of this year, the total sales rose up to 10,769, liters. There are total sales of about 1 million liters or more each month. Another results of surveying social, cultural and mental health conditions in 2008 of the National Statistical Office, 28.0 percent of adolescents aged years have the behavior of hanging out at night and 15.2 percent of adolescents aged years is found as going to entertainment venues (National Statistical Office, Online, 2014 a). Besides, there is the key business zone in the city center of Maha Sarakham Municipality. Currently the road along Somthavil Canal with an approximate distance of 3,850 meters actively becomes an area of investment in entertainment business, restaurants, and apartments throughout the two canal banks. (SkyscraperCity.com, Online, 2013). Eventually, it is classified as a new hang-out zone in Maha Sarakham Province. The business survey revealed that, in addition to being a source of restaurants of various styles, Somthavil canal is considered as the center of entertainment business that there are more than 11 shops recently situated. Most entrepreneurs come from different localities by renting land to operate new businesses. Various types of entertainment business, including live music restaurants, discotheques, karaoke bars, and beer bars are now booming along Somthavil Canal, Maha Sarakham Municipality. Meanwhile, the new investments stand at the beachhead area on the right next to the road along the canal, which was previously housing. Recently, this area has been revamped and changed from apartments for rental to restaurants and commercial buildings. Now the prices of land trading are considered to be much higher than ever when compared to over the last 10 years (SkyscraperCity.com, Online, 2013).

RECOMMENDATIONS The public sector has the means to limit the entertainment business, and many times it wants to do it to reduce the problem caused by alcohol. Public sector can limit the amount of places where alcohol is sold, influenced by the price by taxation and limit the hours when alcohol can be served. As long as we admit that people will use alcohol anyway no matter what the limitations are, it is better than they do it under controlled situations. The author would recommend that the licensing to be the tool to control the usage of alcohol. By the amount of licenses, the public sector can control the entertainment venues. The licenses are admitted to respond the entrepreneurs who commit to follow the regulations. They are expected to control the age of customer, the hours of serving, and the condition of the customers. Public sector can inspect this by putting inspectors to visit the venues and check how regulations are followed. วารสารว ชาการศร ปท ม ชลบ ร 163

13 Licensing can give the venues a chance to flourish without letting the problems of alcohol increase too much. It is the uncontrolled usage of alcohol that causes most of the social problems like violence. The inspectors can control the hygienic situation of restaurants, kitchens, and processes of making food. Based on the results of this research, the private sector would be recommended according to marketing mix factors namely place, physical environment, and process that had impacts towards customers decisions on choosing entertainment venues. Place The parking lot should be adjusted and organized to be comfortable and enough to service customers. Indoor and outdoor waiting areas should be provided appropriately and spacious. Physical environment Views and atmosphere conditions are both important that should be focused because they are significant factors for customers visiting so called first impression. Process Entertainment standardization should be managed in order to service customers. Also the correctness of billing should be improved and carefully checked because reliability is very important that can risk the customers return. The more correct bills, the more customers trust in. Entertainment venues industry is a large sector and high competition. New competitors are trying to get involved the market share even more. Nevertheless, social media has an impact in our lifetime. It offers opportunities for connecting globally. Professionals use social media to enhance their careers and business prospects. In the fact that owners of entertainment venues can use this opportunity to promote the venues through internet as one of effective distribution channels. REFERENCES Cochran, W. G. (1977).
