PHUKET: The sale of alcohol will be banned in 12 municipal areas across Phuket from 6pm Saturday night (Mar 27) through to 6pm Sunday night (Mar 28) as the island heads to the polls for its municipal elections.

 

The alcohol ban is required under election law, Phuket Election Commission (PEC) Director-General Passakon Siripakayapon explained to The Phuket News.

 

“Bars and nightclubs can be open, but they must not sell alcohol. Drinking at private homes is allowed, but not for big celebration events,” Mr Passakon said.

Just passed the local mom & pop store stocking up. As I went by he shouted “see you at the weekend”. “Ok”

So I can look forward to an end to the ceaseless caterwauling on Monday.
