You quackers ? ????

So High Season is over in Hua Hin already?  I guess it must be,  to keep the evil alcohol from being

sold to the brave tourists that came to Thailand this Winter.

[Skeptic7]

Rules out a visit was planning there. At least until these ridiculous covidiocy rules & restrictions are dropped.

I guess the nightly wheelchair pub crawl is off the agenda now.

[soi3eddie]

Haven't been to Hua Hin for while but surely all Pubs, Bars and Karaokes there got converted to "restaurants" like many other areas? Or do they enforce different rules?

The consumption of alcohol always seems to be a hot topic in the forums.  From such high importance, It gives the impression not much else to do in Thailand.  

[bdenner]

Was it in these forums I was reading the Governor of Hau Hin was bellyaching about the tourist numbers falling way below expectations this year? = Som Nom Nah

[jollyhangmon]

... 555 & LOLz ... in other news (same hour, same station) ...

 

 

... besides 2 pages of Pre- & Post-Arrival Requirements they say - and I quote - '...don't worry, it's good news...'

After much consumption of alcohol, the suitablity of ladies broadens and selection becomes easier.

Ouch. They are closing the bars in Hua Hin. How will people manage without 5 bars.......

[shackleton]

Enjoyed ourselves there over the New Year the  night Market plus

restaurants selling alcohol the good news not crowded 

Thinking of going again after the Songkran holiday ???? 

[UKJASE]

everything was open last night - but the police are enforcing 11pm close......  i went to the hilton area pubs after that tho, and they were open still at about 1am when i left

[spidermike007]

Not to worry. Many of the bars which survived the punishing and constant shutdowns are now open. Perhaps it is in defiance of the goons. Civil disobedience in the face of staggering malfeasance, can be a beautiful thing to witness.

The wife and I were in HH for the Christmas/New Year's week. There were plenty of pubs/restaurants serving alcohol just fine then, as they had been doing before for some time.

 

I assume, the same as has occurred in Bangkok, this HH order is only being applied to the bar-only places and related girlie places. But the food and alcohol combo places are plodding onward.

Interesting, I thought that area would be the last to reopen.

 

Personally I've decided not to go to any bars at all until this pandemic thing is well and truly over.

 

I'm not much of a 'barfly' anyway and generally only went out once every week or two so it's not like it makes much difference to me, but some people I know go 'down the pub' literally every single day - without fail, they were hit hard by the pub closures.

 

I always wondered what they do sitting in their little studio apartments all day with nowhere to go ????

Well maybe they liked going out for a drink?

 

I enjoy an evening out with a few beers once a week or so, now the rest of my spare time is taken up with reading, building a model railway, family, dogs and composing sharp answers for Thai Visa ( or whatever it is called these days )! Note that there is no real significance to the order of the list.

 

Those who went drinking every night presumably spent the day sleeping and girding their loins ( now there's an unpleasant thought) for the next nights exertions. It is, as the locals say " up to you"!

 

Anyway, I have stopped buying beer to drink at home - the homemade cider is so much better, and cheaper!

That area especially the karaoke bar next to polo has some very good connections!

Since the coup d'état on 22 May 2014, this land is constantly taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
It seems, while time is progressing, we are taking 3 steps back instead of 2 at the time.
A little bit longer and Thailand will fall into the deepest crisis it has ever known.

[BTB1977]

We don't have bars or pubs. For example,  the monkey bar is now the monkey kitchen.  The pink lady is now the pink restaurant. Wonderland is now called wonderland food court.  The sign companies have been very busy. Life goes on as normal. The ladies,  I mean waitress are all waiting for the sexy men.

Yes, was there very recently. Just like anywhere else, bars are now also restaurants.

Bars etc, being closed is not a local mandate, it's throughout Thailand currently.
