Alcohol Sales Banned for End of Buddhist Lent This Upcoming Sunday


Recommended Posts

Posted

As always these bans demonstrate the Thai bureacratic need to be seen to "do" something. If abstaining from alcohol is the point, then surely banning the consumption of alcohol would be the law. However, they know they can't actually enforce anything, so they ban sales.

Oh no... half the posters on here will not be affected because they don't live in Thailand... half of the remaining half hopefully can plan ahead so they don't get the dt's.  

...

And half of the remaining are not addicted !🥳

Surely it'd be quicker counting the non drinkers amongst us.

Ma & Pa shops will be open for business as usual selling alcohol, will even deliver.  

Not in our village they don't. We have 3 outlets and they all stick to the rules.
