People still drink, at home or otherwise. It doesn’t do the tourism sector any favours. Never mind; their country, their rules. How well do you know Thailand?

I don't live there any more...but I did live there for 20 years. I sort of resigned myself to it, and would buy some beer beforehand. As people used to say, can't you go for one day without going out for a drink!? Also should bear in mind that there used to be more bar closure days in the past. The King's birthday was, until he commented that he wanted people to have a good time. Constitution Day was another (Chakri Day also?)? Now it's only really Buddha days or election days.

prakhonchai nick Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Those that want to abstain from alcohol on this day or the preceeding 3 months have done so. Don't inflict religious beliefs and restrictions on everyone. Not all Thais believe in Buddhism these days and many of those that do will be drinking as usual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No booze in Buriram town but the track obviously had an exemption - unfortunately only Chang due to sponsorship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it would be better to have a no-scams day instead, I think this would be more in-keeping with religion, although I'm not to sure why? 555, and the next rule: no prostitutes day!
