Many upscale places serving; Kuppa on Soi 16 for one!

Crikey what a name for a place. Won't be getting Finnish customers anytime soon, "kuppa" in finnish means syphilis. I don't dare to ask what they serve.

Please visit the Sisaket coppers now and have a zip of Lao with them. It seems that they aren't aware of this.

Should I tell them about the village shop?

Better not, I won't have a peaceful life thereafter.

 

A good thread to add the obvious: not only alcohol ban but also all government offices closed.

 

 

               This is how it worked in my hood: 

      

 

All locals came home in the afternoon loaded with black plastic bags full of bottles. And now, after a looong and  tiring day without work, they are as drunk as usual.

Reminds me of the guy who walked up to girl in the bar and said when you came to my room last week you gave me a disease !! She replied I didn't give you it, you paid 1000 baht for it.

There is absolutely no correlation within the crime committed and the sentence you 'could' receive, I state 'could' as we all know in a corrupt third world there is often the option to bribe your way out of trouble but come on, six months for having a beer on a 'Buddhist' holiday!!!!

 

No expert but wasn't Buddha a kind of live and let live kind of a chap, does seem slightly skewed when you can beat the living <deleted> out of somebody and receive nothing more than a B500 fine and a slap on the wrist so long as you are Thai obviously, different set of rules again if you are one of those damned interfering foreigners......

 

 

This country is a joke, no wonder more and more Ex Pats are heading Home or to pastures new, can you imagine having to live here and being in an unhappy Thai Marriage aswell, those poor Sods of which there are many.

Nothing is forbidden in Thailand....it is just forbidden to get caught !! ?

12.10am.

Is it OK to have a drink now?

No now you have to wait till 11am.

How many Muslims do you know? And how many want to kill you? And how many live a life making a living and raising a family just like you and I.

The fact that most Muslims do not want to kill you does not alter the fact that Islam does

Just back from my morning walk ... yup!.... the offies are open too. I bought my usual 5l Mont Clair (1005 baht) successfully at 10am. I didn't really need to buy any but bought it out of spite....

Where did you find the 5ltr Mont Clair? I can only find 3ltr boxes for the same price!

Funny how Muslims allow non-Muslims to eat during Ramadan, but Buddhists (Thai Buddists anyway) don't allow non-Buddhists to drink alcohol during their religious days.

Drinking alcohol is not banned! Only selling it.

Try telling that to the Rohingya Muslims!
