Popular Post bkk6060 Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 I really think a lot of it is about people not wanting to be controlled. Buy before. But if not, if a person cannot find a beer on these ban days at a small shop down a soi, they are totally incompetent. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlkik Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 These people who moan about not being able to buy booze for a few hours are as bad as the ones in ASQ that have to smuggle whisky/vodka in their luggage to get through a couple of weeks. I love a drink as much as the next pis*head but have done ok and on my 12th day of ASQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spatiumus Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 Someone needs to point out to the OP's complainers that there is no ban on drinking alcohol, it's a ban on the sale and distribution for just 24 hours! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is illegal to ride a motorcycle with no helmet but doesn't seem to stop foreigners I see. "...has anyone here actually heard of a foreigner being prosecuted for drinking during elections?" Obviously not, as there is not, and never has been, any ban on drinking during elections. Edited December 17, 2020 by Spatiumus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rott Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 It is perhaps an irritant but it is the norm for an election. Not everyone goes to a bar every day and if you do plenty of time for an early session on Saturday and an evening one on Sunday. No big deal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post polpott Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 For me, the issue isn't a ban on drinking but the fact that all the bars will be closed on Saturday night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brian Hull Posted December 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 Another stupid meaningless law from Thailand's Department of Whacky Ideas. The argument is not about people being prepared to abstain for a couple of days but rather, why should politicians and other self important public servants interfere in the lives of citizens without good reason? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew65 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but on a normal day, when supermarkets have the 14:00 to 17:00 ban on buying booze, if one buys 10 litres or more the ban doesn't apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucegoniners Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yes, booze bans are ridiculous, we all know that. But to waste your energy bitching about it is a waste of that energy. It's what you signed up for. There are booze bans during elections and around many Thai holidays. Frankly they should extend them to some of these holidays where so many people get themselves killed on the roads. That's where the booze bans should be. But hey, I'm just a foreigner, so I have to adhere to the rules in the country I have chosen. And guys, if the booze bans upset you then just get plowed at home, lol You winos out there can stock up now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
