Yes, exactly this is an important question...... I have a bar, it's licensed, and it's usually occupied by tourists.... does that qualify to sell alcohol on these days of prohibition?
I recently had 2 guys (not Thais) come in to my bar in Chiang Mai asking for beers at 3:00pm. I told them that we are not allowed to serve alcoholic beverages between 2:00pm and 5:00pm - they laughed, then said that they live in Phuket and have never heard of such a law!
My point is that if it is going to come down to the 'local authorities empowerment' then this ridiculous law will continue to be enforced in some places and not in others.
I too fly in on June 25th....it's been booked for months. Why can't they just drop the Thai Pass now? Why does it have to wait until July 1st? What difference does it make? Bonkers.
