Does anyone know if there's going to be an alcohol ban in the bars of Hua Hin on Thursday 30 and Friday 31?

Almost certainly

Yes but no always a place to get beer or the like hidden in buckets or coffee cup etc etc.

As far as i understand it, you can drink, but bars can't sell. I have never heard of somebody having a problem for drinking (except from his wife!)

No you can't. The person who sold it to you can.
