HHTel Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 No. Lifting the ban will revert to the standard selling times. No sales after midnight. You'd have to wait until 11:00 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much had to be added to the piggies trough to get the ban lifted ?? Count the number of new Rolexs, multiply by the price and that'll give us a ballpark figure.

Why not remove all soft-drinks by that rationale- keep it safe. Some 7-11s stock it, some don't. There's a sticker on the ring pull confirming it's alcohol free.

It would not be the approval as it has already been formally dropped as of tomorrow by decree published in the Royal Gazette. But it would be his going against the ban being dropped as his opinion sees potential harm and then reinstating it as banned. Same as all the Governors have this ax e nine option on that first open window day. If they do go against the grain there will be H --- to pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vogie Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The governor of Samut Prakan has just signed an order that alcohol can be sold in the province from Sunday onwards. So it does look like the governors do have the final say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mikosan Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 10 hours ago, graemeaylward said: I find it sad that a previous thread announcing the lifting of the alcohol ban attracted 13 pages of comments, however, really important news about the ozone layer and the rejuvenating of nature in National Parks barely mustered a handful of comments! I choose not to drink alcohol, but I am appalled by the number of people on this forum who see it as the only reason to live! Alcohol does not make the world go round! (unless you drink too much of course). The 'important news' you mention barely gets a mention in normal times in Thailand anyway, so why bother. Chill out and have a beer. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more. Someone mentioned the book 'Lord of the Flies' in some post somewhere. I agree, this government must have used that as its point of reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
