Drinking in Pattaya

[superal]

Most provinces allow drink to be bought but not consumed on the premises of a bar or restaurant . Is that the case in Pattaya when staying in a hotel i.e. can your hotel sell you a beer and let you drink it on their outside tables . Because if the answer is no , where can you drink it ?

[ianezy0]

As far as I am aware, you can buy at 7-11, Family Mart and supermarkets to drink at home. No outside socialising.

As far as I am aware Hotels cannot sell beer yet...but you can buy from outside and drink it in your room/balcony

Inside where you are staying.

 

 

There are some outside seating places selling soft drinks.

So, if a person is desperate to drink outside, maybe buy a flask fill it with Sangsom and either guzzle it in the toilet, or wait till the staff is not looking and pour it in your Coke.

In a bar/restaurant I received my beer in a :

This YouTube video shows folks drinking outside in Jomtien market and the subtitles say it's the first time for drinking outside. If you look 40secs into the video, the beer is in covered plastic glasses so I would say it's still illegal.

If I look at the area Tree Town in Soi Buakhao then there is not much law enforcement.

Oldie,

I think you give me wrongly a "Like".

My beer was served in a Smoothies cup, on the premises, to hide it was beer.

Sorry, but Soi Buakhao is not on sea side ????

Looks like somewhere in far Jomtien Beach Road.

This is nothing special. For instance many bars serve alcohol in such cups or even in small coffee cups on alcohol free days like election days or on Buddha holidays. I liked your honesty. ????

The police raided my condo block on Tuesday and even restaurants serving beer in coffee mugs got fined 100,000 baht each. The police went round to each customer to check what they were actually drinking.

The sooner this police opportunity is removed the better. I guess if one is living in a condo, you cannot take a cold box with a few beers in it, to sit by the pool, nor buy one beer from the small restaurant or shop that services the area? A rule of drinks only with food, and limited size groups would serve better. A 100,000 baht fine on a small business is effectively to put them out of business.

Hello

 

I would like to understand the aim of this stupid measure.. You can drink at home and you can buy from a restaurant BUT only to take away..

So you can drink 2 wine bottles, take your car, eat in your favorite restaurant drinking water and go on drinking when back home

What does it have to do with quarantine or virus ???  Lots of people say they don t go to restaurant if forbidden to have even a glass of wine..

Have a nice day..

Done that lots of times ????especially when they are charging 200+ for a sinle shot

[holy cow cm]

Almost makes me want to get up and go to Pattaya for some R & R. The video posted by Rigsby said no free lancers are about. I find that hard to believe.

You haven't heard about the Emergency decree which is still in effect? Under the decree serving alcohol anywhere is forbidden nationwide due to the social gatherings ban. That's why you can buy alcohol and drink at home.

Yes I know about the emergency decree.. still if you are allowed to go to restaurants respecting the social distancing measures but also having a meal with your partner or people living with you, I don t see any reason to forbid you to have a glass of wine with your meal.. Sorry

Nah, you wouldn't like it.

 

Pattaya is in Thailand.

[Deli]

Find a place that sells booze in a coffee mug or similar or mix your own, as suggested above. At the pool booze is not allowed anyhow, in my Condo Complex. So it's a brown bag or Dunking Donuts cup.

On the other side, one of the restaurants openly sells the beer in tinted glasses....

Absolutely makes zero sense. I was in Pattaya March 6,7,8 for a little bit of seaside fun, then back to my CM home. Right after that the dung hit the fan.

That is sure to fool everyone...………………...no one would suspect there was beer in there ????

There were Thai ladies drinking out of such a holder, I assume it wasn't beer.

It is in effect to stop gatherings of too many people. Restaurants get used like bars here, a lot.   If they cannot open the bars, they need to prevent restaurants acting as a replacement.

Can't you drink it while walking on the street like always? I wouldn't do it but curious.
