No alcohol Friday

[scubascuba3]

Is this just Pattaya or all over?

[brewsterbudgen]

I believe it's Rayong too, but not all over Thailand.  Just the provinces that are holding elections.

In all the places where alcohol is not to be sold on the 31st of January.

Damn alcoholics, can't go 1 day without a drink.

 

"Honey, where's my damn rolling papers ? "  

"Did you see where I put my Valiums ? "

I can easily but Friday is usually the day i go out drinking, busy other days.

 

Pity most posters on this thread have nothing useful to add

Alcohol sales are banned this Friday due to elections being held.  

[PomPolo]

The elections are happening in 47/77 provinces where there will be an alcohol ban so more than likely somewhere most of us live.

If the desperation for a drink is too bad then advise to stock up before 6pm on Friday like I am going to do.  No doubt there will be as usual a couple of places drinking from coffee cups if you happen to be aware of one of these!

What else could people add ?  Where to buy from their favorite vendor that will be selling Friday, and put their vendor at risk 

 

If you can't find alcohol (or too dumb to stock up),  on no alcohol days, then oh well ...

 

... you can't fix stupid

Fake wife hahaha - probably better than a real one IMO! 🤣

I tend to find the only good wife is an X one.

[IvorBiggun2]

I asked a Thai guy 'How often do you have elections in Thailand?' He replied 'I have one everly morning'.

I think you missed "the day I go out drinking" for many it is a social event and not a chance to stock up and sit at home with a few cans.

Bloody stupid post!

Ask a local Thai where you live!

WTF should I know or care where local elections are being held.

Don't people, expats here, actually have friends.  You know, get togethers at houses, a little bbq, sit around, talk to each other.   Especially since a bit cooler weather and not brutally hot outside.

 

Sitting in a bar environment all the time can't be healthy.  You can always ring up you favorite night time companion, to get your freak on later, especially if he, she or it is P4P.  People do keep a little black book (folder of phone) of friends w/bennies, or P4P companions.  Myself, the former when single.  No different in TH, as when back in USA.

 

People been here long enough, they do, should have some 'real' friends.  When I lived in Udon Thani, I popped over friend's houses, and they over to ours for a day of food & drinks, and chit chat.  

 

Life revolving around alcohol & bars has got to get boring, sooner or later, and need to break it up sometimes.   What better time than 'no sales' day.   

 

Even a meet up at a night market with friends, as if nobody serving any alcohol, hard to believe, then BYO.   Especially folks in Patts.  If not drinking spirits, how hard to throw  6er in a cooler and hang out surfside.

[spidermike007]

It's incredibly unhealthy to drink every day. Even 3 or 4 days a week damages the liver and brain. So, making a fuss about one night of not drinking? Really? Is the habit that engrossing? Is sobriety really that awful for you?

The topic title is quite incomplete.

The election is on Saturday Feb 1st.

So ban is from Friday 31st, 5 PM to Saturday Feb 1st 5 PM.

So the weekend binge drinking is saved.

Yes but some people can't resist stating the obvious and appearing holier than thou while they're doing it.
