Thailands' results are maybe not completely accurate by the way, but I think you know that ???? Ok, you are talking about lockdown of populations and that Thailand copied that. In that case the whole world copied that. However, this is a thread about alcohol ban in Nakhon Pathom. As I said before, if they are accurate or not, it´s what we have to go by right now as in any country. Or do you have any evidence for the opposite?

ThailandRyan Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I wonder if this is also aimed at those lao kao dealers who put the liquid into M-150, or other small non liquor bottles and Thais drink them early in the morning and pretty much all day.....but then what do I know, they will probably be left alone... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I think there is a real cultural difference regarding alcohol. Where I come from only the lower class people would drink alcohol every day. "Normal" people would limit it to weekends and so on. That was how it was when i grew up in Holland. It was more normal for tradesmen to drink a lot then the higher educated group. I guess i was raised differently. Seems on this forum its filled with people who go crazy if they can't have a few beers a day. I guess that is why i often think Brits are huge consumers of alcohol as they seem to need it every day (at least that is what i read on the forum). Though the statistics show only a 17% difference between the Netherlands an UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption_per_capita Just trying to understand why i see things so differently then a lot of people on the forum. Anyway i pointed out the violence and backed it up with statistics so it is a good idea to ban alcohol during lockdown. I just hope for the sake of those who like alcohol the lockdown is over soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an extension to an existing ban or is alcohol still on sale in NP up to 19 April? I live in NP and don't know what the hell is going on. At the beginning of the month it was banned up to the 30th, then I think there was a slight softening, now it seems it's back on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneyboy1 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Can anyone living in Rayong advise if the ban was lifted on the 15th. Haven't been out for a couple of weeks.

Where i came from we drank beer too in the weekends during the week we worked and did not drink It was frowned upon. (some exceptions of course usually the unemployed and so on). So for me its strange to see people drink everyday. Same like i would find it strange to take drugs every day. Its a cultural difference i guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I think you will find a statute somewhere banning consumption of alcohol in public places except licenced premises which the RTP have never enforced & actually benefit by accepting commission from the cart vendors. There are those that drinking alcohol makes them a nuisance during normal times, at a time like this dangerous to themselves & others The anti alcohol lobby will be over the moon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Water Sailor Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 They tried prohibition in the states, it doesn't work, just opens up a huge black market, not only that but it's easy to make at home, that's exactly what would happen, and it's easy to pay the authorities off, yeah, let them give it go and see what happens 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecyclist Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 19 hours ago, robblok said: They should extend the ban for as long as lock-down persists. Alcohol is a prime trigger for domestic violence and now that people are having to spend much time with family violence already increases. Alcohol only adds to that. So many examples of alcohol turning people violent. You must have been hobnobbing and drinking a lot with the local male population. It is true that alcohol makes a lot of Thais aggressive, therefore throughout my 30 years in this strange land I have made it my maxim never to drink with Thai men, women yes, sometimes makes them randy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
