No alcohol ban for referendum

Thursday, August 16, 2007

PHUKET: Entertainment venues will be allowed to operate right throughout the weekend, regardless of the referendum on the draft constitution on Sunday, with no restrictions on the sale of alcohol.

Phuket Provincial Police Superintendent Maj Gen Decha Budnampetch today told the Gazette that bars and nightclubs could open for business as normal, as police would not seek their “cooperation” in refraining from the sale of alcohol as done for elections.

Thank God. There is a life left in Thailand.

Thanks so much for this article. We were about to cancel a party.

It's posts like this that make Thai Visa so worthwhile.

I get a little peeved sometimes with all the moderators closing threads and editing posts, but if you hang in there and not let it get under your skin, you sometimes can be rewarded like today. (too many moderators makes for a dull forum!)

thanks again Mid.
