why should they keep the booze ban?

Have you got any idea how many people are employed in the drink and entertainment industry?

Are you happy for all of those people to have no money just to appease your vindictiveness?

You do realise that if there was no booze, golf clubs would go under around the world

There is a massive social aspect to every golf club that includes dinners, galas, restaurants and even just a few on the 19th hole!

 

Haha.

I am happy. Not caring less about booze is not being vindictive.  Just the opposite, I am so glad to  all get out and enjoy a great round of golf.

Will book for Siam CC next week beautiful course no booze needed to have a good time thanks.

Because it is a great way to keep their boot heels in the peoples throats, keep more people out of work relying on government handouts lining up for food everyday. A great way to try and show the world how responsible they are being as they choke the life out of their citizens

i would say the man giving it lived in the USA for awhile.

The article says until 31st May at the earliest. I'm not sure what to believe.

Don't dig the hole deeper, you played your hand, and said the same thing the other day too. It is very clear the type of person that you are. I assume you play golf alone?

Yes i would do it , but i love my Thai family. And now its not easy take whole family to my country. So i need to stay and support, because nobody got any help from government.

  

You could always just walk away, plenty of other countries with ready and waiting hungry families.

.......... and some of these countries allow you to buy alcohol whenever you like.

true that, but in most cases it seems the announcements announcing forthcoming announcements generally play out eventually.

[Vandersmissen]

Well I'll be enjoying drinks every afternoon in my bar as I have done for the last month, followed by a nice dip in the pool with some hotties

Before people start celebrating about these easing of restrictions I would hold fire for now since other very reputable sources are stating that the PM has actually extended all existing measures until 31st May which includes keeping all low risk businesses including restaurants closed.  

I don't think anybody is celebrating, au contraire

That is perfectly ok and highly supported. It will keep the joints flexible ????

[marin]

but this being Thailand, where there is a will there is a way. An hour of phone calls, and then off to the "black market" whole seller.   2 hours of total work, and 4 boxes of beer neatly stacked in my pantry..

Because Thai people like to drink alcohol in a big group with his friends. They won't drink alone.

 

Anyway, Buddhists aren't supposed to drink alcohol in the first place.

 

[4737 Carlin]

Can't even have a cold one at the end of the day ? I'm done here.

I hope future potential tourists and expats remember this and go elsewhere.

Okay, Mum.

Freedom is being lectured on your bad habits and being told what's good for you... by people who are invariably behaving badly behind closed doors.

 

????Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee????

But I'm not Thai, and I like to drink alone in a room with a locked door.

[EricTh]

The list of 'opening' looks good.

 

Everything important will be opened on May 3 except they should allow interprovincial bus travel as well.

Great to see golf will reopen can't wait to hit the links.

Me too Bud, but don't forget your Province may not approve it yet. They can make their own regulations stronger than the Govt Guidelines(but they can't make them weaker) Fingers crossed for Sunday tho....

Do you think that they have the resources to assign an officer to everyone to ensure they don't drink in a group?

 

In fact, there was one case of a drinking session where the infected person infected all his friends.

Selfish. What's worst is that it would actually give you enjoyment at cost of others being upset. 

Yes sure thanks, I love golf not drinking and will certainly be enjoying myself.

ok then being selfless as the farmers need it,

 

I hope it rains 4 inches just before your teetime
