tropo Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 This is good news. They should have banned it at the same time they closed the malls. Better late than never. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inn Between Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 gotta feel bad for those who like to imbibe but haven't stocked up. I think fermented ginger beer is easy to make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DungeonMouse Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yes, the ban on wholesalers is the kicker...they may have actually thought this through...although they couldn't organise a <deleted>-up in a brewery, seems they know how to ban one! Hope it doesn't get extended beyond the 30th...even those who stocked up may feel the pinch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won't discourage mom and pop in the slightest, they'll sell what they have until they can't sell anymore, probably with a small price increase. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local mom and pop store yesterday was flat out delivering boxes of beer and whiskey, their delivery guy can fit 10 boxes on his sidecar scoot (I know its 10 as they had to do multiple trips to my place last week) and I'd reckon they delivered easily 200 boxes of beer if not more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Still not even half have the provinces have banned the sale of alcohol. Thai logic, or are some governors actually more sensible than others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A week and a half of good business followed by nothing for the next two and a half weeks in what may traditionally have been one of their best months of the year in Pattaya.

With all the bars closed I'd reckon they have been feeling the pinch for a while, Most likely welcomed the booze ban just to clear their stock. I should mention my local mom and pop shop only sells booze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post baansgr Posted April 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2020 What's worrying is why?...it's certainly not because of Songran as that's finished by 20th...my view is, as poverty starts to kick in as no salary this month, civil unrest is on the cards. You have to feel sorry for bar owners, that will be six week shutdown already...and likely monthly extensions continuing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a combination of factors, potential for spread in domestic parties during Songkran, one of the original Bangkok clusters developed from that. Plus the paranoia from those running the show that the economic hardship facing the masses might be the final.straw for the discontent building around the election results and clamping down on the legitimate opposition prior to Covid emerging. If the numbers I've seen are to be believed the people actually qualifying and receiving the 5,000 baht assistance is a fraction of those that applied, I'd say that's going to be a major issue in stoking discontent. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post champers Posted April 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2020 Learned a lesson from Bangkok where advance warning meant sales outlets were swamped and social distancing went out of the window. Chonburi, and others, made the announcement after the shops had closed and when the curfew had started. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect - what rubbish. I'm staying at home, walking around the garden and mooban mini-park, drinking ice-cold soda laced with fruit juice. And a bottle of Heineken 00 with my dinner. No disaster here, mate. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
