In a fresh bid to contain the continuing spread of COVID-19 in Thailand’s eastern coastal province of Chon Buri, the provincial communicable disease committee issued an announcement today (Friday) forbidding the sale and distribution of liquor from 8pm until 4am, effective from Saturday and until further notice.

 

Gathering to drink alcohol, in a way which may contribute to the spread of COVID-19 or which may cause a nuisance to other people, is also banned during the same period.

 

District chief officers of every district in Chon Buri, in their capacity as chiefs of the operations centres to control the disease, have been ordered to enforce the ban.

That's as clear as mud

So much for night life in Pattaya, that will cause people to gather and drink in hiding that's all, coz who ever want to drink will find the way to drink...

What night life ?

[TheFishman1]

They should ban it in Chiang Mai I’m sure there’s a lot of people in Chiang Mai with the virus it goes unreported TIT

[chicowoodduck]

Not surprised, as everyone knows that Covid only comes out after 8 pm at night and never during the daylight hours? ????????????????

[BestB]

There goes the prospect of bars opening in Pattaya any time soon

[Henryford]

So buying drinks at 7.59 pm but not 8.01 pm is OK duh !!

[ronster]

So despite all bars and restaurants around the country not been allowed to open or sell alcohol over the last months the covid numbers grew and grew !!

But still they seem to think like covid is in the beer the way they are going on with their booze bans etc . 
I think if nothing changes in next 1-3 months business and job wise this government will be seeing daily revolt on the streets of Bkk .

Yeah because people still gather and get <deleted> up, Stopping the gathering and drinking will go a long way towards reducing the numbers, me personally I think  they should go back to the testing regime Thailand initially had... test one in ten thousand people.... That will reduce the numbers to pre-3rd wave figures !!

The pubs in the UK were shut down for well over a year, as soon as they opened up again guess what happened.

[southcoast]

The SOONER the revolt starts the better. Its ok for Manure for brains PM and his hangerons in Phuket to flout the law, all sitting around with no masks on. Come on. wake up Thai people time for a change, He dosnt give a rats rear end about the Thai people or any one else!!.

They keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting  a different outcome., not once have they closed the markets , actual source of spread on daily basis..

 

saying that, drive home last night at about 1 am. Thai area , many corner shops open serving food and alcohol, not a single cop Insight anywhere 

[Skeptic7]

So now can only buy from 11am-2pm and 5pm-8pm. 6 hours per day. My shopping hours are gonna have to be adjusted! ????

 

Land of Stoopid keeps getting sillier! Never fails to live up to that name.

Logic is a strange concept to beer lovers. While i am against the ban on sale of alcohol. Not opening night life and making sure that drinking people are not close together is good of course.

 

You Sir have no clue what your talking about. The numbers are high without bars, they would be even higher with.

 

In most civilized countries did they close bars the first in The Netherlands and even in the UK where closing a pup is equal to sacrilege. So why is it that the bar flies that emigrated to Thailand make such a fuzz as its the same as in their home country.

 

Now of course all the most of the night life lovers live in Pattaya and put their selfish desires in front of the common good. Not so strange kinda like druggies needing a fix.

Meanwhile down in Phuket, Prayut and the boys are quaffing wine at the dinner table welcoming the first tourists. The hypocrisy is so blatantly obvious it defies any logic. God forbid the wife and I should have a glass in our favorite neighborhood restaurant which incidentally is going out of business thanks to our lame PM!

From my town visits, I'm not sure, at all, that Chiang Mai is full of undetected corona infected people. Unless they're all self-isolating at home....

I see your logic, no need for so much ice so that should reduce the spread

From 8pm - 4am.... but it's illegal to sell it outside (closed) bars after midnight anyway.

So the ban is from 8pm until midnight.

Just buy it early and start drinking earlier.

[shackleton]

Makes no sense in stopping the sale of alcohol 2000hrs -0400hrs 

People will buy earlier and continue doing what they do  social wise 

In the evening

Actually all shops must get closed at 23:00 so in effect it’s only 20;00-23:00 but it puts a full stop on any web begging or web selling
