surely the unavailability of alcohol should not be a reason to confine oneself indoors. Is it that scary out there without a drink or two inside you?

well if you are trying to say that the taste of beer is so delicious that simply being deprived of the ability to savour it or "appreciate it " for just one day, is enough to justify all this whinging, then yes , I have to agree, we are all different , and some are more different than others. As you are so interested about it why not spend the dry days reading about it and increasing your knowledge, or is that not as much fun as knocking a gallon or two back ?

Started off with such an authoritative tone people could almost be forgiven for thinking you new what you were talking about and maybe even had some first hand experience, despite your theories being absolute rubbish but with a careless slip of the fingers the word "apparently" appears and the carefully constructed illusion of knowledge is irreparably shattered

yeah, strange how the one day they decide to meet up to enjoy the finer points of artisan craft beer always turns out to be a Buddha day Its not like these dry days are a surprise that's sprung on people the night before There are lists published in advance for the whole year and every drt day is lamented on here at least a week in advance. Why don't they just arrange to meet another day?

What a smarmy comment

more like 824 AD or when ever the medieval times existed

yes I'm sure that there is a perfectly good excuse for them trashing the places we allow them to live free of charge, I just can't remember it , Damn this Alzheimer's

It reminded me of the monkeys in a safari park pulling the wipers and aerials of the cars.

The Uk media are as usual struggling to cover this incident for fear of causing offence , as usual. Despite their being no doubt as to what people are involved, several videos show us all we need to know, the media cannot bring themselves to mention their specific nationality. Bearing in mind the historical activities involving kids that a lot of these people were involved in its no surprise that there are few details being released about why kids were being taken in to care presumably for their own protection

They have not got off to a very successful start, according to the news over 2000 have turned up since starmer took over,

nothing diverse about that really, just a polite way of describing a stinking ghetto

like its not bad enough for them the way it is

Its unbelievable that they tried to make that bit sound almost positive. It is not "known for" it is notorious for its "diverse" population awful place , absolute Sh1t40le

I think they were referring to social services, however the news channels in the UK seem very reluctant to mention any details about the kids they seized , I think there may have been more than one, The ethnicity of the perpetrators is not being mentioned either, like we don't know already,Its a dead giveaway when they start talking about "communities"

or 100% british by the tone of your post That explains your constant anti British sentiment

Its only a couple of days a year, get over yourself, plan a party or a picnic for gods sake, or as a novel idea , why not arrange you restaurant outing for a different day there are after all at least another 350 days to choose from Why do you need to be in licensed premises anyway? , does it make the alcohol taste better? certainly makes it more expensive The poster you replied to was hardly being sanctimonious he was merely pointing out that drinking is not forbidden merely the selling of alcohol, a minor detail that seems to be very difficult for some to understand

I'd say that was unlikely, but at the end of the day 1600 baht is 1600 baht, receipt or not is irrelevant really , The main thing is to learn the lesson and not make the same mistake twice. There's little else that can be done other than vent one's spleen on here

Best not to "threaten" Thais at all if you can help it, a better approach would have been words along the lines of , "due to the new tax regs that have been applied to foreigners I really have no choice unless"..........

Yes , if one is incapable of informing ones self as to the local rules and following them,

ok I will, people , myself included like to go out and get pissed. Some feel the need to excuse their behaviour, others including myself see nothing wrong with it and feel no need to hide behind lame or well worn excuses that actually fool nobody

A recent phenomena which, I think seems to have increased since this website changed ownership. So many people start ranting and raving without actually reading the full article. They get so triggered by the first few words, that they appear to be unable to control themselves, and the urge to post something expressing either outrage or indignation transcends all else, including the fear of looking stupid

Ah that old chestnut, "social drinking" with the well worn "its not the drink its the fun of socialising and meeting up with friends" line of defence. backed up with equally lame "we don't mean to get drunk but "occasionally " it happens In reality it happens on most occasions, mainly because the social aspect of drinking is actually pretty boring unless one is pissed

Only the stupid people are affected, everybody else is perfectly capable of making their own alternative arrangements,

and a "ladies drink" at that

is there any other reason ? those who claim to do it for the taste are fooling nobody
