I think if this is announced there will be few cancellations for Christmas/New bankrupting not only bars but hotels and supply chains.

Hopefully they open pubs/bars in Pattaya soon. I saw loads of "Pattaya looking" types in Bangkok last weekend. I think we are being invaded. There will be rows of Pattaya plated Fortuners jamming up Soi 4 soon, bringing their unvaccinated brethren with them, Chang vests, cargo shorts and all. Sunburnt shaved heads everywhere. Please lord, open a few bars down there - this has to stop ????.

Meanwhile we have to endure baboon like troupes of Bangkokkers squatting all over Pattaya and Jomtien beaches, leaving behind a mountain of <deleted> in the wee hours, all a-swillin' and a-gluggin', awful crappy music blaring out of awful crappy speakers. Go home hiso!

thanks for this. looks like I might be staying in Phuket for a bit when I come over instead of Pattaya.

What sort of brainwashing went on to make Generals think Thailand is the Maldives or Monoco and only super rich tourists would come, oh wait they still have human rights in those places and you can drink and party if you want to enjoy your holiday...

get rid of all farang in pattaya will take 1 more year then sell it to the waiting chinese

Reminds me of what the Chinese did in Sianoukhville in Cambodia.

 

They (the chinese) demolished every bars, shacks, etc, rebuilt massages spas casinos and other shops catered towards chinese customers only.

 

Some of these new shops even bear "CHINESE CUSTOMERS ONLY" signs on their porch.

 

Reminds me of good old America with it's "For colored only" signs left and right.

 

Story repeats itself over again.

Time for all those tourists thinking of applying for a Thailand Pass to give Thailand a pass.

This is your opinion but also bizarre to me (that's my opinion). I traveled the world for 30 years and only when I went to Thailand in 2008 did I find a place that I just have to retire in. The reason being if you decide you want to have fun, every night can be like New Year Eve. 

 

You don't have to be an 'alky" to want to enjoy what Thailand has to offer 

Yes let's have Songkran and spread the virus for the last 7 months and now allow Loy Krathong to spread more.

Dumb and dumber and on Remembrance day when foreigners saved Thailand and the royal family from the Japanese! Albeit after the second world war!

These government corrupt officials could not organise a <deleted> up in Nana plaza, Soi 4! Vote them out now! Cowards!

I might be doing that too, looks great ????

Didn't the Thai media last week report Loy Krathong Festival was cancelled etc but actually isn't??

 

Suggest ppl wait for the actual meeting on Friday and the info that follows... Then we can have a good moan about how stupid this is ????

Can't expect anything else from empty headed fools who had their way through education bought for them and paid for their rise up the ladder.

I doubt there will be much spread from Loy Krathong. A sharp reduction of testing which is already among the the lowest in the world should see to that.

That will be cos they are closed. 

Bars will open when the "brown envelope" economy allows it 

I never ceased to amaze me what comes out of these guys mouths daily!  What a stupid ass remark to make " Don't be Selfish "  the guy and his cabinet, departments should all get a good look in the mirror!  For two years they have given up nothing zero! 

 

You can see the native are getting restless and rightfully so, everyone should just OPEN and screw them and follow the science the best one can!  What are they going to do call out the Army.

It never ceases to amaze me just how many posts there are when the subject of alcohol is in the title.

I guess it shows just how many alcohol dependant foreigners there are in Thailand.

There is so much more here than beer, wine and spirits. 
Use this time to rethink your lifestyle so you can hopefully live longer and healthier and enjoy life instead of the constant whinging and whining about  the alcohol ban.

You never think of the hardship the closure of Bars and Entertainment businesses is causing, you sound as selfish as the Thai PM.

Yes, the ones where owners are 'connected'

Yes, there must be some very heavy brown envelopes being passed up the pyramid. Maybe that's the reasoning behind the ban; they're making much more in backhanders to "turn a blind eye" than they ever were when the places could open and operate legally.

I am coming to my seventeenth year here.
The longer I stay, the more I know that I simply don't understand them.
So desperate to bring tourists back into the country but then talk about measures like this.
Who on earth is going to travel across  the world for a 2-3week break, hit the beach and not be able to have a few cold ones in a bar?

Another high season passes and the people of the tourist areas suffer heavily while they look upon them from their ivory towers.

Honestly, I'm, dumbfounded!
 

The government has been pushing prohibition for year.  Now they have an excuse.  They simply drive it underground and make otherwise good citizen into bad citizens.

.....and the proverbial domino effect in place. All this comes about, as they they continue to stumble over their contradicting policies and restrictions - yet desire business and tourists to be ramping. 

 

It really does appear that they haven't a clue.

I think the government like all the lockdowns and curfews as they have total control over everybody.

I suggest that Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-Cha have a cup of Char.

Meanwhile sales of coffee cups have gone thru the roof.

I feel the need to stir the pot. Does anyone else believe this is a DELIBERATE effort to kill the red-light venues, as an indirect way to actualize the xenophobia of the current “administration.” They hate foreigners, they want them out, and this is an effective way to do it without overtly declaring so; similar to the retirement alterations 

 

There is no other logic behind these specific closures, considering that places like tree town are blatantly selling alcohol and the place is packed with people every night. there is no logic in closing open air bars if this is allowed max

Very much right and IF I would be e retiree, I definitely would have left when these clowns took over.

There won’t be any tourists if they carry on the way they are doing !
