Hey all,

 

So the latest news is that there is an alcohol ban starting YESTERDAY. Can you still publicly buy beer or alcohol near you? All of the 7-11 and 'real' stores will not sell here on Ramindtra. The mom and pops are getting rid of their supplies at inflated prices (90 baht for Chang 120 baht for Leo). Any word for other people?

As far as I'm aware it's only Sakhon Nakhon, but it wouldn't surprise me if it spread.

 

 

What time did you attempt your purchase? No alcohol sales until 11AM anyway.

 

I just bought a case of Hong Thong and two slabs of Chang at Tesco Khlong Luang no issue whatever.

 

My friend in Phitsanulok confirmed it's happening there.

just left my Lotus in Rayong with a truck full of beer, I am good for at least a couple of weeks

Pattaya has no problem for now. To cover me for the coming month I just bought 12 boxes of beer, some wine and a bottle of vodka. This house at least shall remain merry through April regardless. I am hoping my purchase was unnecessary, but wasn't taking any chances.

If push comes to shove, I shall have to dust off my brewing skills!

My Ms. is a daft twizat. My friend DID confirm it in Phitsanulok. I was just charged 70 baht per Chang from the mom and pop. I live on Ramindtra near Fashion Island. I'm off to see if Big C still sells beer.

I've got 4 bottles of Hong Thong yesterday ........ just in case ....... (Chiang Mai)

I have made a resolution to not purchase any alchohol whatsoever during the month of April.

I have admittedly spent 14,000 Baht on some today.

Better to avoid too much alcohol while Corona is here

Mr Chang and Mr Singha will be furious.

I'm sure they will have a word with "god' imminently.

well i have ten cases of imported cider, 5.3% i have not drunk for 5 days after a billious attack had a couple last night first two were nice ,third okay,did not bother with a fourth.

Pray tell and why, better provide a documented case study.  Other than mixing my wine with a corona or two would give me a damn headache....

in Chonburi province all spirits and beers available for purchase until 6PM today (was in the news) 

Change from 10PM yesterday.  Have not seen any shortage of alcohol anywhere on Pattaya

Drink and be merry

From the song ' cheap wine and a 3 day growth'. Lots of sugar to ferment there. ????

 

The Governor of Chonburi, which includes Pattaya, has just signed this order that includes these new rules:
⛔️ Close all tourist attractions
⛔️ No alcohol sold 6pm-6am
⛔️ Beaches cannot be used 8pm-6am

 

W*T*F!!!!!!!!

This is a trial I never suspected I would take part in!

At least we can have full faith in "government's" to not abuse there powers!

People dying in there 1000's worldwide with none of us knowing how bad this will become but somehow beer is still important lol

Good move

Prepare for nationwide panic hoarding.

The bans will spread and each governor wants to look more hard-lined than the other.

25 hour alcohol ban

Those rules are reasonable, if the beaches are open during the day & people can buy some booze to consume at home.

I got about a weeks worth of beer, scotch and wine. If this domino effects I will be off to binge buy before it kicks in up in CM.
