mooro_uk Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi guys, was just wondering if beer bars, Hilton Hotel bar, Karaoke bars etc will be open this Friday and serving alcohol? Me and a few friends who have not seen each other for a while are planning to come down on Friday and would hate to arrive and see everywhere not serving! Cheers in advance.

katabeachbum Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 bars are not allowed to be open on Friday 15th. It is a Thai buddhist day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenai Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Owners of stores and restaurants have been urged not to sell liquor on Asalha Puja Day, 15 July 2011, and Buddhist Lent Day, 16 July 2011, this year. Violators will face a jail-term of six months, or a fine of up to 10,000 baht, or both. http://www.thaitravelblogs.com/2011/07/alcohol-ban-in-thailand-on-15th-and-16th-july-2011/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehehoho Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm sure there'll be a few profitable teacups full being swigged from around the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alina Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm sure there'll be a few profitable teacups full being swigged from around the place. Only from the desperate and stupid. The postee says he is "coming down" with a few friends, down from where Bangkok? Get a few drinks in and have a chat at your house and have a chat or is it the prostitutes you are after, in that case same suggestion stay at home as their are none worth taking in Hua Hin.

Thanks for informing me about the state of the "working girls" in Hua Hin, actually we all have gf's and are just after a few relaxing alcoholic beverages in bars and not at home! So the basic answer is no, they won't be open I'm guessing!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the guy a break, he asked a straightforward question. As most of those who have lived in Thailand for any length of time will know, even during the holidays if you want a drink in a bar/restaurant there's always somewhere to get one. Probably not the best weekend to organise a trip with friends though if you're intending to go to a few bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hehehoho Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Just find the bar the police drink in. I'm sure they'll be serving. Might even have a few Burmese girls in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabeachbum Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Full story: http://thailandmusin...ddhist-holiday/ seems like most public offices, like Immigration, are closed for a 4 day holiday Friday 15th to Monday 18th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Was just in Hua Hin this weekend, and for what it's worth, there were plenty of places all over town serving beer completely openly. Very easy to get a beer - the only places which were shut were the girly bars on Soi Bintabaht and nearby. I know it's too late now, but worth bearing in mind for the next religious holiday.

somchai jones Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I didn't go to any bars over the weekend but had dinner Friday night and Saturday night in two different restaurants in Cha-am - both selling alcohol openly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
