Wan Org Pansa starts midnight on Saturday, hope you haven't planned all night party.

If someone can't go for a day without booze then they have alcohol dependency issues !!... 

 

.... There... someone always says this on such threads, figured I'd get it out of the way !!!...

But if they did alcohol dependency issues they could just stock up from 7/11 the day before....so what's the point of closing everything other than kill some much needed bar income?

surely you are a monk ad behave like them, hypocrite

• It's just another day in Thailand where Thais claim to be devout Buddhists, could you image the drop in the crime rate if Thais practiced what they preached. No wife beatings, no booze, no talking bad about other people, no scamming, just to name a few things. Let the Buddist do their thing and let others do what see fit do do as long as it's legai.

They will do it the brit pub style...get drunk beforehand and end up fully wasted by 11pm...cheeers mate ! 🤣

Several years ago I seen a documentarty where the Dalai Lama was interviewed about modern day Buddhism in general. Being married to a Thai his comments were interesting. Just before the interview finished he was asked about his thoughts on Thai Buddhism. He paused and cringed, then said no comment.

Perhaps it is those noisy bars, with scantily dressed ladies and drunks that the devout Buddhists find upsetting on one of their more devout days?

I believe the party that was voted in power, then had it stolen, was going to scrap these stupid bans. I have said it before, and will say again. In our village the mama papa shop owner told me ( through my Wife), that when the government pays all his bills they can tell him when to sell beer.

Not forgetting devout Buddists with multiple mia nois, the younger the better.

After all how much money have farangs paid to all the major wats in Pattaya via their ladies of the night, such as the one in Pattaya Tai.

Most people here are too young to remember but it used to be that bars were closed on Sunday and religiou holidays in the 60 early 70 in Canada 

 

Beer sales were closed along with LCBO 

Sunday is a huge day up in Buriram with the last day of MotoGP, when thousands of visitors/tourists will be watching.  Alas no beer!  Does the government want tourists or not?

If people are determined to get wasted on a day when alcohol is banned, why don't they simply stock up on their favorite tipple one or two days before?

Does alcohol kill so many brain cells they can't plan ahead?

The owner of BRIC is well connected so beer should be available at the track.

      How much did you pay? 🤔

Many parties happen on this day. It's traditional for young men to ordain during the Lent and they want to party. There are also many alcoholics that go to the temple as they don't know any other cure.

This is as silly as saying Brits claim to devout Christians when they get drunk  at Xmas parties. 

Why do you live in a country if you hate the people so much?

Because of the wailing and gnashing of teeth on ASEAN every time there is a booze ban. You'd have something to complain about if there was a ban on alcohol without notice.

Most bars will start serving a few hours early anyways - but most won't be serving during the day.

Start serving a few hours early.  Sorry, it makes no sense.  A lot of bars are open and serving at 9 and 10 in NANA.

 

What a lot of them do is look at it as a chance to actually go home early for a change.
