uptheos Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I guess Valentine's Day will be alcohol free (officially). I noticed that UN Irish Pub has put out a notice and that's usually a good indication. In observance of Makha Bucha Day We will be closed on Friday the 14th of February You'all have to get the princess tipsy at home. Aint life a bitch? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JXXXL Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 We booked at our favourite restaurant and bought a bottle of nice wine. I know there will be folks telling me I'm an alcoholic because I can't enjoy dinner without wine. I'm really pissed off about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post heybruce Posted February 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2014 Does this mean the lonely hearts and the Loi Kroh ladies will see each other sober for the first time? It could be a rude awakening for both sides. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what was the best part about being with the white Chinese Thai girls was? Because they were educated they didn't believe in ghosts, superstition, and the general bullshit that has been paraded around as Buddhism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I witnessed one result of the alcohol ban; the restaurant in which I usually have lunch most days was virtually empty today, with just other three tables occupied, two of them by single men. This place usually has 15-20 tables of groups or couples going at noon, with replacements happening at least every 30-45 minutes or so. Not today.

Chiengmaijoe Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I was in a pub tonight that was serving beer in coffee mugs to people sat outside, but in a glass if they were inside. A middle aged guy and his wife sat outside, ordered a beer and a soda and the staff poured the beer into a pretty big mug. The guy said he wanted it in a glass like the people inside, and the staff nicely explained that it wasn't possible. He continued moaning away and upsetting the staff, who were pretty busy, and just as the owner walked by he moaned to the waiter 'take them away then!!'. Without saying anything, the owner picked up the man's beer and the lady's drink, deposited them on the bar and walked away. The two customers sat looking at each other for 4 or 5 minutes, realised that no one was interested in them and eventually left. Nowhere else in the vicinity was selling alcohol and I think they knew it. The look on their faces was priceless. The owner may have lost the price of a beer but I don't think the establishment missed out on their company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostmanPat Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Last night was the usual, confused farce! As I drove into Town from Hang Dong I passed by many large high profile brightly lit Thai style restaurants. All were open, all were packed, and all were serving alcohol, you could see the bottles on the tables even from the car! We had dinner at a well known restaurant in town catering for mostly Western type customers (wont name it on here for obvious reasons) and they were quite happily selling wine and beer. On the other hand, UN Irish chose to close because on previous similar type days they have invariably been swooped upon by the alcohol police! Interesting as ever!!!

Interesting as ever!!! Maybe they have a policy of staying legal and not paying anyone off? I think that's it. Restaurants and bars that pay the expected bribes or have the right connections can flaunt the laws (ever notice that some bars are open past closing time?). It's my understanding that the UN Irish Pub doesn't do that, or at least tries to do as little of it as possible and still remain open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
