Chiang Rai's Dry

[PINKERPINKER]

Currently in Thailand sorting some visa stuff out in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. We decided to head over to Chiang Rai for the weekend before heading south again. After traipsing around the Saturday night market for 3 hours went looking for a bar to grab a beer or two - none to be found as restrictions due to local election. Ok I thought, will wait until Sunday night (tonite), and have a couple then. Can't believe it, bars still dry. Going to be severely dehydrated by the time I get to Bangkok!

It's almost as if they want to discourage people from visiting Thailand.

Buy 10 litres from Makro then drink it on your hotel room balcony. You might have an hour til it shuts.

Cheers Taotoo I might just try that. I had a bit of a laugh with the missus asking why booze is banned during elections. She said " honey, everyone's mind must be clear when they go to vote". I replied " we'll it hasn't done them much good so far, reckon they'd be much better going in half cut and just eenie meanie minnie moe it", she wasn't impressed!
