I've heard some saying until 9PM but I guess only the illegal options will be on the table again soon. Happy I won't get sick drinking a sprite with my meal tho!

Bangkok, Kanchanaburi, Krabi, Chon Buri, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Phangnga, Phuket and parts of 18 other provinces will remain as blue (tourism) zones.

 

In Chiang Mai that's the Charming Chiang Mai districts.

My partner runs a restaurant in Muang CM & has received a letter from the BiB saying that alcohol can be sold until 9pm. It appears that the blue zones are being treated differently from the rest of the province, but all will be finally confirmed in another letter expected on Sunday.

It seems to depend on the time of day wrt to which zone CM is in.  Satarday morning CM was IN the Blue zone but by Saturday night CM was declared to be in the Orange zone, as was Hua Hin!

I would hate to be running a business right now!

[brommers]

The CM Blue zone was defined last year and includes Muang Chiang Mai as well as Mae Rim. So any bona fide restaurant in these areas can serve food until 11pm and sell alcohol until 9pm nightly. It remains to be seen if there is any business now that the Bangkokians have gone home and the foreign visitors can be counted on one hand. My partner is guaranteeing all staff employment until the end of the month. After that it is anyone's guess as to whether it will be possible to operate at all.

It now looks like the restaurants in the CM Blue Zones can sell alcohol after all!

 

From the TAT website today Sunday!

He's the order from the province saying that restaurants in the Charming Chiang Mai districts can serve alcohol until 9 p.m. 

 

How about you try to "please stay up to date"

Oh - you now admit that you were originally wrong. 

 

Maybe try deleting  the whole thread - you gave false information and then you argued with people pointing out you were wrong and you were always wrong. 

 

Spreading fake news is also against the law.

NO, I was NOT wrong!

The authorities were wrong to be so ambiguous!

Look at my first post where I stated "This has appeared elsewhere on ASEAN NOW;"

I copied from and/or linked to an "ASEANNOW" earlier post in another thread!

I suggest you either read posts properly or take it up with support, but not with me!

You complete cl**n - the media was wrong, the Thai government ALWAYS said that it applied to blue tourism zones - I even quoted the official Thai government news outlet which you then replied to with "Please stay up to date"

 

Keep enjoying spreading fake news. You know why ASEAN NOW gets a bad rep - people like you.
