StayinThailand2much Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) Alcohol on (Buddhist) holidays... Will probably happen one year after I leave Thailand. - Had to carry beer with me all the way from Bangkok to Pattaya last time I went there, cause I arrived late, and the next day was such a holiday. (Yes, there are convenience stores in Pattaya, but they don't sell the brands I like.) Only in Thailand!
