LaurenceNaylor Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 1. What are the times alcohol can be sold from supermarkets in Phuket? 2. Can you still purchase alcohol in bulk outside these times? 3. How many litres make up a bulk purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Alcohol is allowed for sale from 11am till 2pm and 5pm till 12 pm You can purchase it at any time if you buy 10 litres which seems to make a mockery of the restrictions in the first place but never mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many litres make up a bulk purchase? Selling of alcohol is allowed from 11 AM to 2 PM and from 5PM to midnight, Alcohol of 10 liters or more is what you consider bulk and is permissible during the none selling period. FYI this law applies to all of Thailand and the selling hours also apply to all bars/pubs/restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillR Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) yes but you can still buy alcohol at the nearly all mom and pop shops and at some 7-11's who don't follow this law. Edited January 10, 2011 by BillR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagallim Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I must admit, I never realised that the permitted hours were also applicable to restaurants, until a lunch we had in Fuji (Central) the other day. I asked for a second small bottle of Singha which the waitress refused (it was 2.15 pm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2oDunc Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 As far as I know they can serve you alcohol at any time if you are in a restaurant ? But then again they could have changed it all since the last time we asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the rule did not apply when eating food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the rule did not apply when eating food. Some of the restaurants in large (huge) chains follow the law on not serving alcohol 14 to 17. Sizzler, Fuji, Pizza company, and MK. Most 7-eleven do to. They all have computer registers. They have a policy of absolutely no tea money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirmizi Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Carrefour has recently put up a sign in the alcohol area which seems to indicate that they will not sell booze during the prohibited times. However, I've bought small amounts of beer there today and a few days ago between 2 and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomallison Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I asked for Singha beer when visiting MK in Silom for lunch, was refused the beer because after 2 pm. Remedy: walk across the road to the Irish Pub where you can eat and drink all day. A crazy, crazy law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
