Guderian Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Nationwide, not just in Pattaya or Chonburi, but I thought it worth posting here for those thinking of heading out to the Makro beer section at 11:00 AM tomorrow, lol. It's on the Pattaya News website, though it's playing up at the moment and it's hard to read anything on there. I know it's true, though, as the GF just confirmed it, and did I detect a hint of som nahm na in her tone? She thinks I drink too much, the cheek or it!

DPKANKAN Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 5555. They are all, generally, the same. Why spend money on expensive beer when you could buy more gold for us!!!! ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GF was telling me (well, as best I can understand) that the booze ban wasn't so much about Songkran as discouraging people from demonstrating against the government. Now she thinks people are getting even angrier because the extension of the ban has zilch to do with the virus and everything to do with politics and keeping the paysans in their place. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will end the ban on alcohol on the 31st May, but I can't see nightclubs etc being allowed to open. Not that they would bother to open anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardog Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 So it is kind of confusing. One article further in the lest states the 1st & 2nd only a ban on the 3rd again is possible & the article linked says after the 3rd alcohol is permitted. Anyone know thew real dates? I need a bottle of brandy to mix with Kahlua. I am over white Russians & rum doesn't mix to well with Kahlua. If it is only tomorrow left I will go to Macro? anyone know the real date to buy?

Guderian Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I only hope Richard Barrow is right and it's not just going to be a 2-day reprieve to stock up until the next ban. Heck, I'll bet the stores will be busy with every man and his dog trying to get a month's supply of their favourite liquor just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's paying 80 Baht for a bottle but I can't tell if it's the large or small size. Just goes to show that, when the chips are down, it's not what you know, it's who you know that matters.

Guderian Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 Does anybody know the status is regarding the booze ban in Pattaya this morning? There's only one hour before B-Day arrives at 11:00 AM, lol, and I don't see any approval or refusal from the Guvnor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem might be they are selling fast and limited stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
