Popular Post Boomer6969 Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'll have to go there for my Covid shot, and wonder if I should take the missus and the kids for a short trip. But to really enjoy the holiday I would have to be able to have some good wine for dinner, is this possible now in Khon Kaen? I mean officially, not in a coffee cup... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapson Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Where and how are you managing to get a covid shot in Khon Kaen ? not so easy at the moment! Think youll be ok with the wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jerrymahoney Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 Alternative: Bring your own wine, stay at the 5-star Pullman and order from 24-hour room service. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchWrapSupreme Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm in one of the nearby provinces. Yesterday we drove past the local farang bar, and witnessed several of them out in front happily drinking beers. Then we went to a chain restaurant in the mall, and they confirmed they're now allowed to serve alcohol. Hmm. Is this changwat going rogue? No word of this anywhere else. But I know what I'll be doing this weekend. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surasak Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 AsaIk Khon Kaen is a yellow area with no restrictions. I have just returned home from my local and all was as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyscruff Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Yes Khon Kaen is in the Yellow section but this directive still applies , In all zones, people must wear face masks outside their homes and entertainment venues remain closed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Phuket restaurants are allowed to serve alcohol, as of last week, but in the rest of Thailand, regardless of what zone the province is in, alcohol cannot be served in any establishments........officially.

sirineou Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I was at a Vietnamese restaurant by the university in KKC last Saturday for Lunch. When I asked if I could have a beer with my lunch, they said I could not. Weekend before had lunch at another restaurant in Kalasin no problem with having a beer with lunch. I think that officially it is not allowed, but it all depends how many people are at the restaurant and the restaurant's relationship with who ever enforces the ban, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolkandchance Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The town I live in is 50 km east of Korat. When in the Amber zone our local Hotel offered alcoholic beverages thought out. When we where upgraded to Yellow last week all other establishments followed suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am sure a brown envelope of two in the right hands will sort out that minor issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point being made though is that what they are doing is illegal. Personally I don't care, I think the rules are ridiculous, but we were discussing legality and the current regulations forbid this.

As I understand it, the rules are set by the CCSA and cannot be overruled by local government. At least not downgraded, they can be upgraded locally. So in this case, given that the CCSA has ordered all bars and pubs shut and restaurants are not allowed to sell alcohol, Thailand wide, regardless of the colour of the provinve, except in Phuket, then locally they would not be able to over rule the CCSA by allowing the service of alcohol. If service was allowed though, they could upgrade that ruling and ban it. Please note: As I said at the beginning, this is my understanding of how the situation works here. But trying to actually work out how the situation works here, is fraught with difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Alcohol served in restaurants WAS allowed. But just got it through the grapevine: alcohol in restaurants again forbidden in all of Khon Kaen. Of course pubs, bars etc. remain closed. Pure panic takes over. In our area ALL markets closed. Even the district office closed (or emergency only?).
