How long have u lived here? Beer is always available.

My favourite bars are closed, the restaurants I would like a glass of wine in are not serving.

 

Grant you a beer in a mom and pop shop in 30 plus degrees in the middle of nowhere may be an option, but I would rather stay at home in that case.

 

Been working here over 25 years, should that make a difference?

These are the types, regardless of how long they've resided here, that still keep to their isolated bubble and aren't aware of what's up and what's not.....

I fancied a small bottle of Chang yesterday evening, and went to the local 7/11, unaware of this Buddhist holiday.  No problem, I'll go to a ma and pa shop I thought.

 

Would you believe me when I tell you that I was unable to find any such shop that would sell me 1 small bottle of beer?!  Up and down small sois I went, but nothing was found. This was in central Pattaya!!

 

I'm teaching right now, but come 9pm, I will again venture outside in search of a small beer....

Yes it should! After that long only a really bitchy whinger would be complaining and not working out a solution... <deleted>.

Where are you..... it has been raining and never got above 28 degC where I am? Home is fine, I got the fridge set just right.... watching the rain sitting on a terrace.

Drinking at home I can do most nights of the week if I choose, but having a couple of days off work and wanting to hits some decent bars, have a meal with a drink without having to get up in the morning is pretty difficult when everything is shut?

Do you get a day off for the 28th?

There appears to be a lot of days off here each year, a pity, as sungod states, quite a few are dry days.
