What they actually meant to say - but could not wrap up in clear words = see "Thai-style" is, that the five mentioned categories are conclusive.
All other establishments could never care to start with so we're all good to go now.
Unclear though is my lack of understanding; what is the difference between Thai Buddhism and the philosophy celebrated and followed in neighbouring Burma/Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia - as in all those places there is no such thing as prohibiting booze - just asking
A couple of times this voting round they have approached me, most quickly realise I'm not Thai but still give the wais and they are good humoured when I say I'm just a foreigner with no (voice) vote.
The Winter smog is getting worse and lasting longer every year. In Pattaya, it starts in late November or December when the cool, high pressure system from China makes it this far south, bringing with it stagnant, still air that traps the pollution from vehicles and fires and gradually gets worse. Northern cities like Chiang Mai must get it even sooner. And then it goes on and on for months, until early Aril this year. That means four months when the air quality is often classed as unhealthy and, if you happen to be out and about on holiday, you won't see much beyond a murky blur in the distance where the mountains are. If I was a European tourist looking for a Winter break in the sun there's no way I'd be coming to somewhere with such filthy air as Thailand.
