Moronic rule, on an Island where (reportedly) >70% of people are vaccinated businesses are still being stifled because those in positions of decision making power are too weak to take anything other than baby steps towards reopening.

And yet they wonder why no uptick in genuine tourists and a wasteland of a high season awaits.

OH …. Has the law changed …. Can you now drink alcohol in Bars before 10:00?

[Andre0720]

I will never understand why so many rules here are based on the clock, when all I can see is that the clock is such a foreign concept for Thai people. In 5 minutes. In 10 minutes. Oh well, appears it meant in an hour or so. I never rely on a time given by a Thai person. And then here comes all these rules.... Between 11 am and 2 pm. Why? How is that helping in making a better society, or how is this making Thailand safer, or how is this making Thai people more sober? or how?....... Words fail me now...

Many bars serve food and operate under a restaurant licence.

[cclub75]

This is huge..... Until 10 PM.... they can legally sell booze.

 

But at 10PM01 the virus suddendly comes back. Watchout !

 

All those headlines are perfect....

if you read the post again its ambiguous, the way it reads is that bars are allowed to sell alcohol but not after 10.

 

It said bar owner, not restaurateur owner. Semantics but confusing to be fair.

Read the OP, follow the link, that's why it's there. And there you'll see it all is perfectly clear. It involves a bar that is officially a restaurant.

In the civilized world one gets fined for such a minor offence, not arrested !

I did, if you read the title in huge lettering it says "BAR OWNER' and the opening line is 'Phuket City Police have arrested a bar owner' thats why its confusing.

I did, nowhere does it state its a bar that's officially a restaurant, in fact nowhere in the article is the word restaurant mentioned.

Tend to agree with you. The whole sandbox thing is a little confusing. Heard some bars in Bangla opened up on their own accord?

[cyril sneer]

customers must have been Thai

 

if foreign it would be them arrested and a wai from the owner

[Thujone]

Either he is leaning to his right, or the conduit coming from the switch is drunk.

Can a bar sell beer all day until 10.00pm   ?

Majority of potential tourists does not read Thai local news.

Most of them have no clue regarding what is really going on before landing.

So what don't you understand from this in the link from the OP?

"Specifically, Yuttana was charged for violating Article 4 (2) of the order, which mandates that food or beverage outlets are permitted to sell alcohol and allow drinking on the premises but no later than 10pm."

I dont claim to understand anything, hence the reason I said the article was ambiguous and confusing?

 

Understand?

Apparently if you read the article, all will become clear. At least that is what I was told ????
