Myran Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Good decision. The ban has likely done it's job keeping people from congregating around Songkran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta408 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The saga of a soap opera, incest and alcohol sales. Tomorrow it may change. Who knows. I suspect that a good number of deep pockets have come up with the fiat needed. Big deal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foresee a mad rush to fill up the liquor pantry as the absence of logic from the people who control the green light/red light may fully well shut it down again on a whim.

"Also, the old law allows for wholesale purchase of alcohol in excess of 10 liters to be made at any time of the day while any purchase under 10 liters can only be made at the specified times. The new regulation does not allow for this, what matters now are the stated hours for purchase or sale of alcohol irrespective of quantity." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirocco Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 POST 106 Hey! Hey! hey, i'm from a country where it was closer to 45 °, and the beer, we put it in a container filled with fresh water and ice cubes, and not vice versa. Either way, Thai beer is disgusting, so drinking it with ice or not, maybe that improves it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
