The bad thing about having a US sim card in a dual sim card phone is that you'll get calls at crazy hours.

Have you tried turning the USA SIM off?

    So you like watered down beer   I prefer to chill the bottle then pour into a chilled glass.

To be fair these are shop owners grabbing the beer.

 

That's a good point.

Good to see the faultless local adherence to social distancing and mask wearing in action.

 

I particularly like the guy on the right who wears his mask over his mouth but not his nose.

 

Ordering a slingshot on Lazada right now...

What's wrong with you guys

All battling at the supermarket.....

 

Lengthy lineups of people hugging beer packs and bottles of Spy etc., and shoving cases of beer along, at the my Tesco Express and 7-11 before the magical 11 am in my Phra Khanong neighbourhood this morning. The race is on. 

My understanding is that the Alcohol ban is in place for bars etc, but NOT applicable for purchase and home consumption from stores.

This morning Phitsanulok announced as second province after Sa Keao a renewed alcohol ban.

Hopefully Pathum Thani will see sense and not extend, but they do have a nasty habit of following Bangkok. I have to go to Tesco later (not for beer, we have stock) will check.

 

No alcohol restrictions at Tesco Khlong Luang and "non-essential" items available again.

Where did you go? As noted above Tesco Khlong Luang was selling.

"I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

In my local Max Value in Bangkok, they still had the old signs up saying 'til the 31st of May as of yesterday evening. I asked the lady and she said they can sell again tomorrow (Sunday) .

Just got back from shopping, NO alcohol sales in Macro or D-Save, as i predicted Flip Flop Govt.. The police told Macro they can not sell. Go figure.

Went along Khlong 1... Rangsit.

Notices still up in 7/11s, Other supermarkets. Also, Mom and Pop stores told me that they can't sell.

Chiag Mai -711 just behind our estate, plenty of alcohol for sale and 1 other customer in the shop when I was there.

Where are you Brian?

 

Remember, provincial governors can set their own local rules, so what the government say may not necessarily apply.

they probably think it's still April

Sunday booze Cruise . Gfloor Festivus Chiang Mai is humming at 11. Only one bottle (of my favorite) left. A quick pivot to Tops KSG. They stock it but shoppers here have no clue what it is, as they mob the cases of Leo & Singha. I pick up three plus two Bacardi gold bottles as backers. A good base to build on. 

Big C Chiang Rai, missus bought some crappy overpriced red/white wine. That filthy Mont Clair red in a box, a farang nearly cleaned out the shelf containing 3 boxes, but luckily he only snatched two before my wife grabbed the last one.

 

Tops has a much better choice of wine.

Makro Srinakarindra has been selling. Also Villa. And Emquartier Gourmet Market.

 

However most will be sold out of local brands very quickly.

 

Massive queues at Makro.

Pattaya city, alcohol available in 7Eleven and stores. Photo just taken now 13:00

 

Can't a Mod change the misleading headline?

7/11 in CM selling Booze now.  I was the only customer.  Seemed well stocked.

It has in some provinces.

Yes. Unfortunately Buriram has extended the ban for another month. Anyone with any info from Surin? Surin is 20 mins drive from my place I could get some booze there if ban is lifted.

No alcohol sales in Narathiwat, Pattani or Yala. It is haram to muslims.

Well that at least is no surprise at all. The surprise is that they ever sold it in the first place .

They hardly sold it anywhere anyway. Most 7-Elevens in the region don't sell alcohol or pork. Only the few buddhist-run stores do.

 

Some muslims do like their beer though. The local karaokes certainly don't just attract buddhists.
