Before I begin my complaint, I am aware of the 1965 "Child Protection Act" prohibiting retailers from selling alcohol between 2pm-5pm.

However, in over 18 months of lunching everywhere in Thailand from street kitchens to luxury hotels I have never once been refused a beer with my lunch. Does anyone know if this law applies to all businesses serving alcohol, I assumed it was 'off premise' sales only?

For the record, I was impeccably presented and entirely sober. This was in a Japanese restaurant in Central festival, Phuket.

Anyone else experienced this outside of retail ?

I've read it on many menu's of the national chain restaurants (like MK, Oishi, Pizza company etc.) that alcohol cannot be served during the prohibition hours.

Just a local waiter or local jobsworth that wanted/needed to upset the (bigshot) farang, so he could feel good in himself.

Looks like he succeeded. He'll sleep well in his 500b a month room tonight.

While he dreams about you going into alcohol withdrawal from missing your 3pm Leo beer. Seriously, count your blessings if this is a tragedy for you. Oh, yeah...Phuket retiree. Never mind.

From the first reply:

Yes, this is the law.

This is the law you are apparently talking about, but it is from the year 2003, not from 1965

http://www.burmalibrary.org/docs07/2003_Child_Protection_Act(en).pdf

Read it and you will find no mention of alcohol, beer, lunch, restaurants.
