PHUKET: Patong Police Chief Col Tassanai Orarigdech has confirmed that alcohol sales will be banned on Oct 5 as required by law to honour Wan Org Pansa, which marks the end of Buddhist Lent, but says that he has yet to receive any notices to enforce a ban on the sale of alcohol on any other days in October. “So far the Ministry of Interior has only declared a ban on alcohol sales from midnight to midnight on October 5,” Col Tassanai told The Phuket News yesterday (Sept 29). “This is as usual and happens each year. There has been no notice on alcohol ban on October 13 or Royal funeral days, so far,” he confirmed.

scotchonrocks Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Lent is supposed to reflect voluntary abstention. If it is to be the way proposed, it is never going to be written in the hearts of the people. Forcing an issue like Lent in this way achieves zilch. They are too stupid to see this.

Get Real Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Stop selling beer for one day again??? To fulfill what purpose. Is it just for making people drink more the day before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanio82 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I always had the impression that Buddhists should not drink any alcohol during the 3 months Buddhist Lent. Celebrating the end of the Buddhist Lent with a ban on alcohol .... TIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pakaty Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Raise taxes. Ban sales. Put gun in holster. Pull trigger. Go to doctor to see to foot. This is not a twelve step program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
