It could very well be, but the Thai think it is true by the number of teen pregnancies that occur, presumably after school and involves drinking alcohol.    Peace

Nah.

 

Most of those probably involve smoking Yaba.

So apparently this silly afternoon booze ban has now been lifted.

 

I tried buying a cold beer today at my local 7/11 just after 2pm and was refused.

 

Anyone know what's going on here?

Is it true that the law prevents them from selling alcohol to individuals who are already intoxicated? This measure is crucial for ensuring public safety and preventing further intoxication.

Apparently so.

 

But I have seen this 'law' being applied arbitrarily before.

 

Like to people who aren't even drunk, but maybe they didn't leave a tip the last time they were there.....

Better idea for you, bob. Head straight to Soi 6 at 14:00, have a beer and blow Bubba at the same time. Two birds with one stone, innit.

Its not irrelevant to tourist numbers !!... the broader perspective is what attracts tourists.

 

I don't believe this 'will be' an issue - as with most announcements - not much will change and very few will be impacted - but thats not the issue here....

 

... The issue is the negative publicity such announcements generate, particularly with the speed of social media.... Even a small % drop in tourism is damaging.

 

 

Why does this concern you? Are you in the tourism business?

But then again they aren't  technically in a tourist area..

 

I think, Richard, you knew what I meant.

 

Pattaya, Bangkok, Chiang mai etc have plenty of roadside restaurants that don't follow the 2-5pm rules.

 

Eric.

why you you worry about buying a beer in 7-11 then?
