Popular Post Kaoboi Bebobp Posted July 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Alcohol sales are banned on BOTH days, Saturday and Sunday, both Buddhist holy days. Monday the 26th is a make-up day. That's according to blogger Richard Barrow on Twitter. https://twitter.com/RichardBarrow/status/1408326289648279552/photo/1 Edited July 22, 2021 by Kaoboi Bebobp 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 A while back, I read that the 'no alcohol' was three days. 24th to 26th inclusive. It will probably change a few times until the 'winner' stands tall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Just remember the new rules: "The limit on gathering changes from 50 to 5. More than 5 people gathering is forbidden without permission from provincial officials. More than ONE person gathering to drink alcohol is forbidden."https://thepattayanews.com/2021/07/18/chonburi-chachoengsao-and-ayutthaya-added-to-maximum-control-provinces-effective-this-tuesday-royal-gazette-announces-this-morning/ So you can drink (at home) but if the neighbour comes over and some one sees each of you with a drink, they may call the fun police on you ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy fix; don't invite anyone over, drink enough till you start seeing double, sit in front of a few mirrors and you'll think there's a crowd, 555. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statman78 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The calendar published at the beginning of the year by aseannow shows Sunday and Tuesday (July 25 & 27) as no alcohol days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen confusion between Sunday and Monday but never seen Tuesday mentioned. But I am not prepared to challenge aseannow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 It works for me. Anyone comes to my house I can just tell them "Sorry, no booze for you as I'm already drinking so it would be illegal to let you drink as well !" Still can't figure out the logic of that. I can have 4 people come to my house (gatherings of up to 5 people allowed). No problem if the 5 of us sit around eating BBQ and watching a movie or whatever. But if 2 of them have a beer it's illegal ! Because they would be "covid immune" if no one drank and still immune if only 1 person drinks, but if 2 drink look out ! It's a potential outbreak ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lone voice in the wilderness of misinformation So much conflicting and wrong information. 24 and 25 are the (major) Buddhist holidays and so imply a ban. (a decision of this wise leadership that ALL Buddhist holidays have alcohol ban) 26 and 27 are regular working days, plain nothing. Kings Birthday never had alcohol ban (even under Bhumibol).

Banks and immigration are closed on Monday, the 26th, and Wednesday the 28th (king's birthday), however. Listed on bank web sites and ASEAN Now visa forum.

Just in error about today's government holiday. Tomorrow 27 normal working day. Coming Wednesday 28 also government holiday but no booze ban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
