Stunning ! If you are so desperate to drink beer. You have other problems. What's wrong with fresh coconut. Coke zero, or similar. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champers Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I am sat in a deck chair on Pattaya beach now with 14 others plus 3 staff; one group of 8 Thais sat together eating plenty but no booze that I can see. Just 2 falangs, me and one other, both with their better halves. I would estimate that well over 50% of deckchair operaters have not opened. There are plenty of cars parked on both sides of Beach Road. There are some wandering vendors trying to earn a crust but far fewer than normal. No sign yet of the BIB or any other "officials". It's a lovely clear and sunny day with a strong breeze blowing in from the sea. Make the most of it while you can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I'm a bit advantaged. Because I live permanently in Pattaya. I drink beer when bars are open, but not daily. I've saved lots of money during the knockdowns. Was great to have my usual swim at DOngtan beach today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFETY FIRST Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 OK, to be fair. Condominium swimming pools should be allowed to open without alcohol. I bet they won't. Beaches open to please the beach chair concessions. Makes you want to drink, seeing the beautiful swimming pool with barrier tape on these ridiculous hot days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does acting silly, singing or dancing make it more likely, while sitting quietly does not ? If so how does this work ?

AquaThai Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) It wont be long before the beach is closed yet again. It says beach is open but not large crowds or alcohol... well give an inch they take a mile. Plenty crowds and alcohol on beach on the first day open. People dont want the beach open or they would not be so quick to violate the law so blatantly. Edited June 3, 2021 by AquaThai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slain Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It's a bitlike the Uk law closing the pubs at 21.00. Do they really think everyone will go home then. No, they will want to carry on drinking with friends and getting more and more friendly as the evening goes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the contrary Champers, I enjoyed your post...hence 'I was almost there myself' like I was drifting off and the use of 'talk about' is used when you want to exaggerate a meaning and 'like an advert' refers to how it sounds to me when I read it (your writing style is refreshing for this forum) and the 2 exlamation marks at the end, denote fun........................ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I guess the Thai government just does not trust the Thai adults, with their booze habits. They do not want the men to drive their families to the beach from Bangkok, drink beer and Thai whiskey all day then drive back to the city half corked. That would likely be the cause of even more accidents that the country is having already. I guess by October when the hordes of International tourists start to arrive, the Thai government and TAT will be forced to allow alcohol to be served again, if they want any kind of tourism this Autumn or Winter.
