Maca Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Does anyone know if alcohol will be sold on the 28th and 29th July, will 7-11's be serving? Thanks Maca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 My understanding is that there are no restrictions, not a religious holiday. That said, I will ensure enough supplies in the fridge tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 There is also "alchohol days" pinned at the top of the Pub forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The Late Kings birthday, December 5th. was always a no alcohol day. However, they do not seem to be applying that rule with the new King. I know in Hua Hin things can change by the hour, so Wife and I are waiting for a message from our local plod !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebluewater Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It often depends on which province that you live in or even what city you live in within that province and what they bosses say today may not apply tomorrow. The good 'ol mom & pop places don't care one way or the other! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to fly in from Saudi at the beginning of December, nearly always landing on 5th. December, to be greeted by dry bars in Bangkok. This happened to me over several years, True that it was a few years ago, but that that far away as I still remember it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mascetti Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Well if anyone is so concerned about missing a couple of drinking sessions, it's best to stock up in advance. Make emergency plans, just in case. Alchohol !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Many bars may have chosen to close on 5 December to allow their staff to celebrate HM's birthday. I doubt that is likely to happen now.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good 'ol mom & pop places don't care one way or the other! Live in the city and most places enforce dry-days. But, in the back-waters like Klong Toie you can probably find a drink. Out in the villages surrounded by rice fields where the cops only show themselves at symbolic road-blocks on Songkran and New Years - nobody cares. You can buy rice whisky or a beer just like any other day, just as you can between 2 to 5 pm. Rural Thailand rolls on with it's own set of rules.

But an older generation of Thais will keep "Father's Day" on Dec 5th alive until that generation dies out - and that will take awhile. Rama 9 had a huge influence on a large swath of the Thai population. And it's definitely Father's Day in our house-hold. Just ask the wife and kids.

It's not and never has been a Buddhist holiday.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
