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.

haha, that is true, you just need to watch the Arab brothers get of the aircraft at BKK in National dress, change  to western clothes and hot foot it to the beer and girls in Pattaya. Funny to see,  if it wasn't so hypocritical. But then, in my humble opinion, hypocrisy is the bedrock character of all religions, bar  none.  It was ever thus through history.  Bit off topic I know.   

The human flesh is weak in some, I'd say. By far most muslims here - I'm located in Narathiwat - are very religious and quran-observing though. Pleasant folks too, I might add.

 

About the alcohol ban: I don't mind it myself as I rarely ever drink. I'm more annoyed about public parks, beaches, restaurants etc. still not having opened, let alone inter-provincial borders. What is the governor waiting for??

The chilled glass only stays chilled for a nano second. I can drink a small beer with no ice but at home or a restaurant with a large beer, love the ice in my beer.

Ice in ya beer !  I guess ya not an Aussie?

 

FYI.. Just bought beer at BigC Sakon Nakhon. Appears plenty of stock.

i am a Aussie drinking every day for 60yrs  when i came here 15yrs ago i laughed at them putting ice in the beer/past 12 years i cannot drink a beer without ice   cheers

New restrictions: 

 

The government has now imposed limits on how much can be purchased in one visit.

 

Now there are limitations on how many bottles can be sold and during what hours.
