brewsterbudgen Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Advance voting in the general election. Should be back to normal from around 6pm tomorrow (Sunday). Expect the same next weekend for the actual election (if it goes ahead). Another booze ban due on Friday 14 February, for Buddhist holiday.

eyecatcher Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Its crazy....I just got kicked out about 7pm, as I was asking why, the police came in to check. Apparently elections albeit they are on the 2nd next week, the postal vote is tomorrow. So everyone from other provinces has to vote tomorrow.......if they can be asked.......if they know what the election is about. Most bars around the moat, loy kroh were already shut..... But nimmen is buzzing, obviously don't get police checks. Managed to get 3 in ! More than enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthedarkside Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Bars closed until midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning, same again next week end. Amazing Thailand in it's full glory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do have their ways about them. Try drinking in a bar in Iran on election day. If I had to have a drink I would buy before they are supposed to close. It would make me feel a lot better than complaining about it on Thai Visa. Try a Ma and Pa store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daoyai Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Tiger Kingdom (in town) was rocking last night, they had paper covers on the beer bottles so we weren't really drinking, a long line of cops walked by, everyone happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yes several places disguise what one is drinking to avoid being hassled by the law enforcers. Funniest one I came across was having a beer out of a tea cup. Wont mention the place but it has an Irish sounding name and in a corner of Anusarn market....

I am in a bar at this moment but will be home in front of the TV (sorry I mean the box which shows news & sport etc - NOT the CPU giving out crap info) in time for the sports & news etc so I don't give a one iota whether the pubs close or not. But if I was an owner of a pub tonight with so much sport on the last thing I want is some idiot making it sound that my establishment is closed because of some stupid rumour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khwaibah Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm out of town at the moment so I have this question. Is there a local election of any kind in Chiang Mai tomorrow March 16 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseFrank Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Bars closed until midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning, same again next week end. Amazing Thailand in it's full glory. Don't worry, in a week or two the elections will be nullified, and the whole circus of advance voting, general election and re-voting can be repeated. Maybe they throw in a referendum as well. By the time a new government is installed, all farangs will be tea-totalers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be Careful with that question! You may be about to be attacked by the Trolls. Are you asking this question out of political interest or are you, like me, about to be accused of having a drink, or lack of it, problem? Drink carefully before you answer or ask the question again!

Chiengmaijoe Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I've never seen this before......... All bars on Loi Kroh and around the night bazaar were closed, with the usual exceptions , but everything inside the moat was open. Supposedly, it was a very local election (T. Changklan?) so anyone outside that district was free to sell! As I said, a new one on me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
