Can you <deleted> blame them ?

Absolutely pathetic rules laid down by incompetent authorities.

Guess the governor has been reading the AseaNow OPS and posts where every bargoer, barfly has expounded how they get around the serving alcohol issues.  I do not feel one bit sorry that this has occurred.

He is correct, it should be served in a bottle or glass and not in cups .....................................LOL

 

 

This Geezer has obviously never been to any Thai Funerals; where the Booze is in Jugs under the tables and is poured into Coffee Mugs to drink !

What an unexpected surprise...????

The guy had his head buried in the sand ALL his life?

Should be moved to an inactive post immediately for incompetence being unaware of what everybody else knows is going on.

Different  provinces have different  policies  don't they.  Pattaya is a place of, who cares if one has SHA or SHA+ we are going to open and sale alcohol.   Haha haha

I can't think why no-one would want to go... 

Afghanistan would be a better Christmas holiday destination.

 

Stop lying to people that the country is now open for tourism.

Wouldn't it be better to Order the cops to do their job and start enforcing the Law on the traffic on the road and Corruption? That will safe more lives then a couple mugs of alcohol .

Yes, the entire fixation on alcohol is coming down from this self-appointed moral guardian leader...moronfest.

Hehehe,....where there's a will there's a way.

Can't tell me "they" didn't see that coming.

Booze in coffee mugs? Oh no! I thought all those people were just drinking coffee...

Last week in Kanchanaburi the bars were open and it looked liked covid had never been there.Why over there open and not in Hua-hin?

Playing music is against the law now? I thought only the Taliban forbade that.

Remind me , wasn't there a song some years ago about ' On the road to corruption '.

When I first came out here I resided in a hotel in Hua hin and I remember alc. was served in coffee cups , can't remember why , was it the time of day or summat else. Hotel was  Top Marks.

Music! Drink in silence! 555 ..But if he would ban TV sport in bars and UDM etc he might improve all our lives !

I used to stay at Top Marks as well until I bought my condo. It was a fun place in a great location. New ownership now renamed Sophia the original owners moved to a new guest house in Cha-Am. Might have been on account of a religious holiday or King’s BD.

Who did this governor pay to have his position?  Is he a relative of the great General PM?

  If this the best that the Hua Hin and Cha Am area could get for a governor?

    What a tea totaller kind of guy is this geezer?
