holy cow cm Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 30 minutes ago, Don Mega said: Closed on Monday as it is a public holiday perhaps ? Not really the Monday Holiday as it has nothing to do with a day of abstaining. It will be from the people getting together at their homes with their friends. Even at this very moment: I have an ugly big headed Thai neighbor in an adjoining housing estate having a get together right now and will then move to his backyard out of sight, but that is every night. Down the block there is a house full of old foreigners with their wife's partying out in the front yard like it is no problem. Total around 12 er so of them. Next door to me my Thai neighbors just finished a get together dinner with friends. Outside of this estate there is a gathering of Thai selling food and yacking away in gossip central with no masks. So this is in a 3 minute radius of my house. Just think what other brain dead Thai and Foreigner are doing in CM and it is a complete disaster. It will be closed because of arrogant braindead stupidity, and when it is I really cannot fault the governor except he should have used the police to arrest all of them and left the abiding people like me to be free and drink on my own upstanding accord. The police in CM already busted a group yesterday in the news. I would think the police will be more than happy to arrest and take an idiots money for their pockets.

ParkerN Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Three weeks? That's no good, that's longer than nine days. The only people who'll remember are going to be foreigners. I'm not sure if I can imagine a world in which Thais will do without their alcohol for three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaLa Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 5 hours ago, revup said: 1.5 million alcohol-related deaths per year in Thailand alone. Why not take the opportunity to take a day off the sauce? Your choice, but your advice is insane. Apologies if you can prove your statement is true. However i would be surprised if the total number of deaths annually from all circumstances in Thailand is 1 million. Maybe your choice of sauce is proving to be a problem. Finally, regardless of any other factors it is absolutely his/her choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SiSePuede419 Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Allowing cannabis sales would be HEALTHIER. ???? Alcohol is the world’s leading risk factor for death for people between the ages of 15 and 49. *Weed doesn't cause hangovers *Weed is great for treating stress and anxiety. *Weed is better for long term health *Weed is less addictive than hard drugs, like alcohol Edited May 2, 2020 by SiSePuede419 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voting doesn't mean anything here. The status quo will be preserved; votes will be miscounted; opposition parties dissolved; officials jailed. If all else fails, just have another coup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeseeker Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Earlier today (3 May) reports on this web site-now deleted- suggested that sale of booze was now banned in BKK in May.

Popular Post Thomas J Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 They are allowing restaurants to open but not allowing them to sell alcohol. Thanks for the help. Most restaurants break even or lose money on food. They only profit from selling drinks. Kind of like letting a gas station to open but prohibiting them from selling gas and cigarettes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Glad to see that Thai people and the stranded travellers and expats will soon be able to buy and drink alcohol again. I hope all the Thai voters see just how close to a dictatorship their government has become. Look around at the rest of the countries in the world and see how many others banned the evil alcohal drinks in their countries. Surprise! Anyway Cheers Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Pattaya when the nightlife got closed the people were sitting then in restaurants and in front of convenience stores and at many other places to have their alcoholic drinks - of course without mask so that they can drink.

Clarkey611 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 My wife has just reported that at our local Big C, the alcohol has been pulled off the shelves, so that nothing remains and there are queues awaiting for the magic hour of 11 am.
