britmaveric Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Coffee mug/Tea Cups for your drinking purposes, most bars just darken, no music play and pretend they aren't serving. Also have option of hotel bars.. needless to say the atmosphere is shi*e, but if you need the grog there will be places serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason45 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I stocked up in advance yesterday, I bought enough to cover all scenarios including my feral inlaws from up north and when they smell a freebee they go all the way until our larder and cellar are bare. My wife knows the rules, I stock up on food and booze and when depleted they're told there's no more and they vacate our premises as though it's on fire. The wife pulled a classic yesterday and she told me that I should give her 2 brothers 1,000 baht each for diesel to drive down to our home in Bkk, my reply was if they can't afford to get here then do what I do when I'm short of cash....stay home.

jaiyenyen Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was in Soi Cowboy last night and was told that all the bar's there will be closed on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamCave Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What about restaurants, are they all closed or just the places that mainly sell alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was in Soi Cowboy last night and was told that all the bar's there will be closed on Friday. This is correct.Everything closed friday but open tomorrow. So now you all know I heard the same with one slight difference - there will be no alcohol sold, soft drinks only. Now I dont know how well this will be enforced. Will the bars close at midnight tonight though ? I didnt consider this - I was thinking of going out for an all nighter tonight due to there being no chance of drinking on Thursday / Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losangels Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Jeezus...only couple of dry days as if the world is coming to the end. If you can afford it drink in a five star hotel. If not stock up by 11:00 PM on Wednesday. For me I'm on my way to Tesco to grab a couple cases of my favorite holy water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems everywhere is closed.. Was going to B/D party Thursday but moved to tomorrow. I hate getting drunk on Wednesdays. I guess i am gonna have to stock up today then, although i can live without alcohol for almost a week ( ) Just the idea of knowing that i cant get it IF i want it, makes me wanna drink.

frodo Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 It seems to be such a success, that perhaps there will be more banning of alcohol on various national holidays in the future. Alarming accident figures during the Songkran holiday early this year prompted Interior Minister Chalerm Yubamrung to float the idea of banning the sale of alcohol during all national festivals, drawing a furious response from drinkers.But the idea was latched on to by Bangkok Governor Apirak Kosayodhin. He took it up and ordered his staff to conduct a poll from April 25 to May 9 to find out what people would think if alcohol sales were banned on New Year's Day and during the Songkran festival. The poll surveyed 21,834 people in Bangkok and surrounding areas. Of these, 19,921 were asked to fill in questionnaires, 47 posted their opinions on the issue in the BMA's website and 1,866 voiced their views on public service radio stations Jor Sor 100 and Sor Wor Por 91. It found 75% agreed that alcohol sales should be banned on New Year's Day and during Songkran. Some 58% said the ban should cover all festivals while 77% believed the ban would help cut accident and crime rates. Alcohol Restrictions Perhaps it's just a matter of time. Legislating morality, what a keen idea! I just thank my higher power that I haven't touched the stuff in over 13-years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
