Just read on another board no alcohol sales in Hua Hin for 9 days late October. True?????

If true ,there will be a lot of people with the shakes in Hua Hin.

There's plenty with the shakes without alcohol. 

An immediate question, if true,  is: does this pertain solely to HH or is it regional or nationwide? It would not surprise me if this was implemented nationwide. If not,  there will be heavy traffic to Cha-Am.

The sky is falling!

Thai authorities can't plan that far ahead ... all still uncertain is my guess.

And what about the international tourists that arrive on day one of the ban with no chance of "buying in advance" who expect to have a drink on thier holiday? 

Tourists arriving on dry week will have their lives extended.

Bangkok ban is only on 13th 24th 25th and 26th 

what does it matter.  everyone knows of some mom and pop shop that is going to cash in on the no alcohol sales anyway.  this is thailand there is always someone going to sell you whatever you want whenever you want it.

I can't see it being a problem for expats, but tourists might be a bit pissed-off.  As long as the tourists spend their money on something else, TAT will be happy.

If someone knows a bar owner- they might want to ask them what , if anything, they have been told. IMHO, the only day affected could be 13 and 26 October-  I doubt that any area would be affected for 9 days

Thanks for all the guessing and puritanical opinions but

 

anyone actually know anything?

You can count on one hand the number of people on this forum that know anything.

Someone actually taking a shot at answering his question, thanks, a change from all these 'Schoolboy" remarks.....

End of the world for some.  Too many drunk foreigners as it is here.

So you gonna close your sex shops in respect.....?

 

Bet you don't answer....

It should give allot of guys a chance to dry-out.

I live in Cha-am and we have not heard anything about it here. We are of course in Phetchaburi province and Hua Hin is in Prachuap Khiri Khan, so I think periods of prohibition will vary from province to province ……. I wish they'd done it here for Songkran week this year  ?? ??
