Phuket Bars Permitted to Serve Alcohol on Buddhist Holidays Following Policy Clarification


Recommended Posts

Posted

 

Phuket authorities have confirmed that bars and entertainment venues can legally serve alcohol on major Buddhist holidays, including Asarnha Bucha Day. The clarification, issued by Provincial Police Chief Maj. Gen. Sinlert Sukhum, follows earlier confusion around alcohol bans. The decision aligns with a Royal Gazette order allowing sales in hotels, airports, and licensed venues, but regular businesses must still follow national alcohol laws. Officials stress that venues must ensure public safety and prevent underage access. The move is expected to support Phuket’s tourism sector while maintaining respect for religious observances.
