No alcohol election night .

[CorpusChristie]

It was , no alcohol available anywhere , Thailands clampdown on alcohol sales seems to been complete .

Ten years ago you could buy a drink anywhere anytime at various places , even some 7/11s were selling beer all night .

The new tills put a stop to that .

  There were still the all night mom & pop shops , bars , restaurants and hotels that would sell a beer anytime .

Then to hotels began adhering to the rules , and the bars began closing at around midnight .

  The mom& pop shops began closing earlier and earlier .

The all night restaurants would always serve some take-away beers .

Last night; Nothing .

Not a beer to be bought anywhere . 

The backstreet shops refused to sell any beer .

Even my previously reliable all night restaurants which always gave me take-aways refused to sell any last night .

The clampdown is complete .

As always it depends where you live in Thailand.

I was watching Thai boxing in my local restaurant which I call pub 7 drinking beer until 9pm. 

So was Thais.

Wondered why the shopping on ThaiFriendly revealed better results last night !!

 

Luckily I have a decent stash of booze here, Invited one young lass to come and do some housework last night and she called 5 of her equally tidy friends over to assist... not sure what hurt more this morning, my head (the one on my shoulders you filthy perverts) or my wallet !!

Missis just back from voting, she was paid 200 Bt by one of the candidates for her vote. Back in the good old Takky days they were paid 500 Bt for their votes.
