AhFarangJa Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 What a joke. What it should say is that alcohol will be banned at Government organised events. The B.I.B will be out collecting tea money and all will be as normal especially around the new bintabaht, soi 94. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussienam Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Here I stand with my knee length socks stuffed into my sandals and salute to the government officials for preventing such implorable and dastardly water-fights, immoral flashing of water soaked tops and deplorable excessive consumption of alcohol. Yes, only designated event venues that basically will become an ... ahhh ... non-event. Let's make this a permanent ban so my day isn't ruined from disgraceful water splashing ... tongue planted firmly in cheek.
