Read again, it says no alcohol served after midnight. This a far cry from a serious alcohol ban Thought that entertainment places had to close at midnight anyway 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyril sneer Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 must be more cases than 3 if they go to the lengths of an alcohol ban it's like these businesses doing a random deep clean instead of reporting a case found there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post darksidedog Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 There is a significant difference between an alchohol ban "from" midnight, to one "after" midnight. My first thought was that it was a ban, not a timing issue and thought "here we go!, every Governor will follow suit like dominoes." It appears an emergency stock up is not yet necessary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker1 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I understand there has been an alcohol ban in place in Samui for a week now but have not seen any official explanation relating to it ? I believe take away drink is OK but no "onsite" drinking permitted. Anyone can confirm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to you... as they say ! Been here 7 1/2 years and never had a beer. Bloody lots of whisky though. I can negotiate without drinking and I only drink socially. Whatever people do has nothing to do with anyone else if it does not affect them negatively. Too many people want to push their beliefs on others. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes travel to my native country and back impractical and expensive. There are countless restrictions and a dead economy. I'm not blaming anyone, and I take every precaution, but this virus has not helped anybody. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
