I have 100Bht riding on this! 

TV Holidays states that tomorrow, 1st October, is dry but the misses insists no and that everything is open.  Who is right.

It's the money bet I am worried about, not the booze!  

Honest.

 

PS;  Talking about CM in particular if it makes any difference.

That is what I assumed going by your holidays list, which I always consult.  The problem is that Phuket say tomorrow is dry day but my other half, my tuk tuk driver and the local 7/11 say they know nothing about a dry day today or tomorrow!

October 2nd in some places apparently.

Correct. We had lunch at Wine Connection, Central Festival, Chiang Mai, yesterday, 1st October 2020, and all kinds of beer, wine and spirits were available. Today, 2nd October, is a dry day at least up here in the North.

Jomtien is Friday only no alcohol. 

Yes, Foodmart has a notice telling its customers that there will be no alcohol sales on Friday 2nd October due to end of Buddhist Lent.

Nearly every Thai Calendar is different, including either the 1st or 2nd or some even have both days as holidays!! 5555????????????????

Apart from mom and pop stores.

What a joke this country is.

It's not October 1, it's October 2 until 00:00. It doesn't matter if some shops sell or not, they know it's illegal,but don't care. It has nothing to do with Thailand as a country.

How I miss the mom and pop stores.  Besides being able to buy beer whenever, I liked to support Thai owned small businesses, and the owners are usually very friendly.  In the last 10 years it seems like 85-90% of them have closed.  Replaced by 7-11, Family Mart, Super Cheap, Tesco, and Big-C mini marts.

I had started a thread pointing to the fact that some calendars incl TVF and WIKI are wrongly showing Oct 1. Thread dead.

Oct 2!!! Today!!!

Being in Pattaya currently I can tell you for sure that nothing was dry on Oct 1.
