May 30, 201510 yr so i suppose that means i can pop into the STUMBLE INN on Sunday, drop 2000 baht over the bar, and say, "i will be in tomorrow to drink some beer" lol !!
May 30, 201510 yr Any mom & pop shop will sell alcohol on that day. Alcohol is very easy to obtain. Another suggestion, stock up the day before.
May 30, 201510 yr We all know you can always get alcohol in many bars and in shops on these days. Also, we are not all Buddhists so why should the rule apply to us?
May 30, 201510 yr Alcohol ban does not make any sense. There is so much hypocrisy! Why not? It's part of Thai religious values, and you're in Thailand. I like to drink, I'll stock up tomorrow before 6 PM for Monday.... I have no problem with bans on religious holidays... Just adapt...!
May 30, 201510 yr So to confirm, bars will be open 31 night through to 1st, but closed on the 1st night? or bars have to close at midnight on 31st and can reopen at midnight on 1st? I too am unclear as to exact enforcement, but I assume open until midnight of 31st, and closed thereafter until midnight of 1st. One would think it would be the case, but from memory(do not hold me to it) last years 31st was open all night. I think Walking street was the case anyway. Sadly no confirmation or any notices from any club
May 30, 201510 yr It isn't the 'getting' of the alcohol or even the consumption but rather the lack of choice of venue on such days. Drinking at home by yourself is not very healthy and the encouragement to do so just shows how spiteful some posters are. Good grief man who can't do with one night on the lash? If you are drinking to the point where it's bad for your health it doesn't really matter, does it? Alcoholics will just stock up and get pissed anyway.
June 1, 201510 yr The kind lady of our village-shop reminds me that it is not selling alcohol (got my beer) but also no sigarets (dont smoke). So smoking and drinking alcohol in public can be fine today. Take care.
June 1, 201510 yr thank buddah it is on a Monday, the worst night of the week for going out, now if it was a friday, different story !!,
