Popular Post NONG CHOK Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 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. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AhFarangJa Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 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. 2 1 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 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?

Neeranam Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
