NoshowJones Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 2 hours ago, cyril sneer said: What about the province’s that already announced their own bans? As a non drinker, IMO alcohol should never be banned at any time, but there should be heavy fines for those who are caught drunk and incapable in public, and lifetime bans for anyone caught drunk driving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phulublub Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The Prime Minister has, under the authority of the Emergency Decree, Article 9, published an order late last night in the Royal Gazette which informs Governor's to temporarily stop and hold on drafting orders to ease restrictions around Covid19 in their provinces. This is TEMPORARY and a hold, not permanent, to give more time for the government to reach consensus on decisions around easing restrictions. At this time everyone will wait for further announcements from the government. If the current decision lasts past the first of May the prior orders in each province continue to apply until further announcements or amendments.

Parsve Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If PM Prayut one day says that the alcohol ban will continue until May 31 and some other officials the day after say it will end on Sunday, it makes one wonder who is in charge of this country? Apparently not the Pinocchio-guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Australia Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Not sure to rejoice or cry now. While I am happy the ban has been lifted, just last night I bought 1 month worth of booze at inflated prices. Its staggering how the decesion making can be reversed within hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new regulation does not allow for this, what matters now are the stated hours for purchase or sale of alcohol irrespective of quantity." You can buy from the wholesalers any time you like, e.g. in Makro if you have the right card, or Promphan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking forward to going to Makro Sunday I think it will be chaotic It will be a 1-2 day open free window and then up to the I'm bigger and better than you and your province attitude from each pathetic governor. I really don't think it will stay open long and Lampang's fathead will probably be the first to crow like a chicken. So my plan is to stock up for 30 - 40 days and if there is booze and beer left then ok, I still have booze and beer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why water filtration systems have UV lamps. There's one on most large boats too as the water is stored in tanks.

dwagner Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I am going to avoid the Sunday rush and go Monday - but remember - Visakha Bucha Day is on Wednesday - May 6th, so there will be no alcohol sold. Hopefully you all have not emptied the stocks completely. If so, at least it will be the older stuff - provided they rotate the old/new stocks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkies will drink anything and maybe that was the problem Moonshine galore and people getting sick + people travelling further distances to procure said items The other thing was an inconvenience/annoyance and in recent days price gouging on the black market Plentiful supply of alcohol hand gel if desperate.

shdmn Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Not sure what people are complaining about. You can definitely still buy booze in Pattaya. Just not at some of the more mainstream places out in the open. I'm sure a lot of you know where to go. Edited May 2, 2020 by shdmn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
