Alcohol Retail Sales

[wwest5829]

Did I miss the memo? Just returned from Makro, Superhighway, Chiang Mai. It was between 4:00-5:00pm. Had three 5 liter boxes of boxed wine in the cart. Previously, as long as I purchased over 10 liters, alcohol sales were allowed between 2-5pm. Today, I was told new law cannot buy until 5:00pm. Being a skeptic, I checked with the customer service desk...same story. New regulation requirement?

Yup, law was revised a couple of weeks ago, removed the 'Wholesale Quantity' provision

There's a thread in News but it will be well down the forum by now.

You need to have a liquor license to buy between 2-5 PM now.

The 'Wholesale Quantity' provision has not been taken away for companies, only private persons.
