There was a huge line in front of the alcohol and limits on how much people could buy. I think alcohol will remain in low supply for a while. With black market beers limited to overpriced Singh, Chang and Leo, it was a treat to pick up a nice selection of Beerlao last night. The IPA and white are great, both with a slight citrus tang.

Most people in Thailand are Buddhists followed by Muslims. If you prefer a more fundamentalist version of Buddhism, you might be happier across the border in Myanmar. Even there though they never banned alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flinc2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, BobbyL said: Bizarre and unnecessary power trips as usual here. So I take it someone living in Pathum Thani can just drive to Rangsit or Bangkok to get their beers? No point going to Rangsit, its in Pathum Thani and dry. Getting to Bangkok is a better option if you have your own transport. Some of us don't and as much as I would like a beer the idea of pating 1000BHT + on top of the cost of the beer just to get a car to a 7/11 or Big C to buy a couple of cases doesn't really appeal (although, I have a mate in Nonthaburi ...I wonder how much Grab delivery would be?? ???? ???? ???? ). If they HAVE to ban it (though heaven knows why they would feel they 'have' to) I just wish they would order the supermarkets to remove it from the shelves. I'm pretty sure it comes under the heading of "cruel and unnecessary torture" to leave it all out on display! At my local Big C they even have the usual 6 cans and 6 bottles of each size in the chiller cabinet at the end of the fruit and veg aisle for christ sake!! What are they keeping it chilled on the shop floor for??? Edited May 4, 2020 by flinc2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 6 hours ago, Walker88 said: "healthier" Do you mean those fruit juices loaded with extra sugar? Yea, table sugar is just great for you; cancers love table sugar. Beer is more nutritious than most all fruit juices, as it has Brewer's Yeast Men who drink two glasses of red wine per day live longer than those who don't drink, have less incidence of cancer, lower blood pressure on average than non-drinkers, and more healthy cholesterol levels than non-drinkers. Relaxation of the booze ban should give former teetotalers an opportunity to switch to healthier drinks like beer and red wine. Sugar can be added with all food even those 'healthy' steaks or coffee that you ordered. You know that I mean only pure fruit juice. How is beer more nutritious than fruit juice in terms of vitamins and minerals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maprao Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Stopped drinking along time ago except for special occasions and the occasional yearly bender! But I do like freedom of choice Note to oneself build a bar In my house. Stock up on lots of beer and fine spirits. Easy ban what you like. It's there if needed. Obviously I will have to take up heavy drinking to ensure there is adequate rotation of stock!!! Edited May 4, 2020 by maprao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I am glad that the drinkers in Thailand are able to get stocked up at least in some parts of the country. I know that when I am on holidays in Thailand, I do drink to relax and some days I was very relaxed. I know that I will not set foot in Thailand for 2 to 3 years as I want to have a vaccine in place and some immunity before I go there again. Maybe by then the population will have replaced some of the Government members, 555. Well a person can hope. Geezer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
