webfact Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The reminder issued by the Ministry of Public Health. By The Phuket News PHUKET: The Ministry of Public Health has issued a reminder that the sale of alcohol is banned throughout the country today (Oct 21) as the nation observes the Wan Org Pansa Buddhist holy day. The alcohol ban came into effect just after midnight last night (00:01am Thursday, Oct 21) and will conclude at midnight tonight. The reminder, issued by the Office of Disease Prevention and Control yesterday, urges people to be mindful of the occasion, to take care of themselves through exercise and eating a diet including the five main food groups, to be motivated to abstain from alcohol for reasons such as “for the family”, and to observe COVID-19 new normal protocols.

mahtin Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 no alcohol isn't any problem because it isn't happening - presumably the local mom and pops are not "that" kind of Buddhists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sydebolle Posted October 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2021 So the Burmese/Myanmarese, Laotians and Cambodians are lesser Buddhists - it seems - as they have no such alcohol ban. Only Thailand, where it serves purely to execute power over the underlings ........ 5 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
