It's not just about the "drinkers"
July 19, 20241 yr I don't drink alcohol if I don't want to. The pointless daily bans or bans on Buddhist holidays would not be a reason for me not to drink alcohol. I choose the times when I don't drink alcohol for months, for example...

You are probably correct but its about freedom of choice! I drink alcohol, maybe because I am afraid to be myself. crutch. LOL 🙂
July 19, 20241 yr Phangan party people will not be to happy as it’s Full moon Monday so it’s normal that three days before the bars and stores experience a big turnover in sales unfortunately this weekend won’t be the case

Yes and this crutch may lead you to another crutch, preferably of the female kind.

July 19, 20241 yr 6 hours ago, save the frogs said: yeah, stock up! it might kill you to take a day off from booze. Always the same nonsense. The ones affected are those who like to go out for a social drink, sad cases who sit at home drinking don't see a difference.

People drink beer because it tastes good. Same with wine. Nobody smokes weed for the flavor. Apparently stoned is pious and spiritual, while drunk is not. Nor is alcohol breath, even if only one beer. I drink alcohol to get hammered.

I'll be heading out saturday arvo for a social session with mates. 2 day no booze sales throws no roadblocks.
July 19, 20241 yr I'm always at a loss when this booze ban comes along in the name of religious respect. Wouldn't it be better if the monks asked for a total cease in crime on these days. i.e.- NO murder - No theft - No scamming etc. etc. Even the government & lady boys could join in. Out of shear respect of course.
July 19, 20241 yr Popular Post Being mindful of the impending 'dry' weekend, this morning I thought I'd better get some supplies in for the weekend. Off I went to 7/11 on my bicycle and bought 8 large bottles of Singha Reserve and put them in my bicycle basket. Just as I was about to return home I thought 'hang on, what happens to all the beer if I fall off my bicycle?' So I sat outside 7/11 and drank the lot, one after the other. Turned out to be a very wise decision as I fell off my bike seven times on the way home.

Every foreigner who lives here and drinks knows where to get alcohol on the Buddhist alcohol prohibition days as do the Thais and will act accordingly. Stock up today or buy from the small shops over the weekend. Absolutely nothing to do with being an alcoholic and everything to do with being able to enjoy one's life without the intrusion of an anachronistic dictate.

Maybe it's not getting the gurner's attention, so try this... The government are only banning the Sales of alcohol, says nothing about having a drink
