  • man, if you are an outsider and have no inclination whatsoever regarding Thailand, all these alcohol news is just downright laughable.  I have never seen outside of a strict Muslim country where

  • Damn. What happened to early December. As for the above this is not IMO clarifying anything due to the "limited" bit but "registered grocery stores" means 711's etc. What the hell does "not apply univ

  • Agree - this "clarifies" absolutely nothing. In fact, I'm probably even more confused about this then I was before...

I remember the good old days, it didn't matter what time it was. You could buy at Big C, Tesco etc. you just had to buy your alcohol in quantity.

Western, Chinese or Thai?

So those who were on here arguing that this wasn't nation wide are rather quiet on this thread.

You're partly right, but last time I was in Thailand (October), alcohol was not sold at 7-Eleven (and other stores) at certain hours. (Has this changed since then?)

 

I was at a 7 in Pattaya yesterday and today and alcohol was available between 2 and 5.

Why did the headline not say Afternoon Booze Ban to last for Six Months.

6 month trial to see what happens   perhaps the end of the world ??

I am very happy!

I don't care about drinking late (as an old fart) but being able to decide and buy a few beers mid afternoon is all I need in life.... well, a big chunk of what I need!

Out of interest, has anyone actually successfully purchased a drink at a supermarket/convenience store between 14:00 - 17:00 today?

The midnight ban will piss off more foreigners visiting!  Most people who go out to party are just getting going at midnight!  That will change too watch!

Isn't this what life is really about?  Most adults manage their lives just fine without the moral majority and big daddy government nudging and shoving them in one direction or another.  I'm amazed that the Thai populace tolerates a government that infantilizes them. 

It only affects 7/11  really and the bars will open earlier.But the village shops bar are ok.The doors will not be closed now in the afternoon

Only very rarely will you find a man in Scotland who has rhythm.

 

They don't understand rhythm in Scotland, mostly.
