Tony125 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Maybe they are banning booze at bars/restaurants as following Dr. Fauci's recomendations (He mentions bars below) https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/dr-fauci-just-said-this-to-anti-science-people/ss-AAQ5WOu?li=BBnb7Kz#image=1 5.

That did not work for many bar owners. The police examine the license which determines whether the establishment is a bar or restaurant. Places without a restaurant license were raided and closed Many places that have restaurant licences but couldn't actually prepare food as a restaurant have been barred from using those illegitimate licences also.

Why is that? ???????? Expand Well alcohol is a major worldwide consumer product and industry, so that is probably part of it.

It just means you can enjoy a beer with a burger or steak. Big deal. Can do that at home. Seems that you don't understand what the curfew is. It has nothing to do with serving alcohol.

Liverpool Lou Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 10 hours ago, Walker88 said: this bears repeating, as some seem to be missing it: Restaurants have "Restaurant" Licenses. Bars have "Bar" licenses. Bars are supposed to remain closed, even if they serve food, because their LICENSE says "Bar". (Oddly, there is one agogo in Patpong that occupies a venue that was once a restaurant, and the new owner inherited the 'Restaurant" license, so he should be able to open and serve alcohol from Monday, with plenty of scantily-clad, non-dancing servers. Having applied for and/or received a restaurant licence does not necessarily make those premises a restaurant. A bar that has obtained a restaurant licence but cannot produce it's own food from a kitchen (as many have) does not fall into the category of a restaurant as far as the law regarding the serving of alcohol as being discussed here is concerned.

In the last couple of days, I've been starting to see increased posting on Thai social media of videos and photos that look very much like Thais at some type of night club type venues drinking what looks to be booze. As with so many things in Thailand, what the laws say and the announced policies are don't necessarily match what's happening in real life, where, in these instances, there's probably substantial incentive for the plod to look the other way at times.
