Shot Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Story here>> http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/843099-surprise-new-thailand-booze-ban-now-in-effect/ If they actually enforce this law, it will impact many/most of the bars, 7-11's, and restaurant booze sales in Kamala. Black Cat's and north on the main road is safe. Both sides of the main road south of Black Cats' to Maydens might be doomed. All booze sales on the main beach road from the Tsunami Park to the beach will be affected. How about your area?

Sharp Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think you'll find the term 'educational establishment' is for universities and colleges so I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colabamumbai Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The booze ban is a joke in all parts of Thailand. I can walk to my mum and pop store 10 metres away and buy beer or liquor any day of the week. Who is going to police the booze ban? I do not drink.

Sharp Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The amendment outlaws selling alcohol within 300 meters of the "fence" of universities and colleges, both public and private. "" """""""""""Lower schools are not included in the ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb17 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) All very strange- it's weird how some people's lives seem to revolve around bars and alcohol- even knowing which establishments are outside the zone. Wake up- we live under a military Government, normal rules do not apply. Edited July 27, 2015 by peterb17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 For Rawai and Chalong, I think the bar owners and workers appreciate the time off. The punters will have parties and BBQs at home with their mates. It's not like this never happens periodically during the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) This thread is not about the 2 day Buddhist booze ban, it is about the restriction of sales within 300m of any school nation wide 24/7. Edited July 27, 2015 by Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know which establishments are affected because I drive past them several times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Very quick to judge peterb!! I was under the impression the thread was based on businesses that may well be impacted by such a ban!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantFan Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Near me, Karb Gluay is a favorite restaurant. Phrabaranee Rd in Patong. If they allow BYO, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I live in Patong, so no effect on me. However, I suppose there will be a few more drunks on the road, probably only for short distances, but still on the road, none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lashay Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The amendment outlaws selling alcohol within 300 meters of the "fence" of universities and colleges, both public and private. "" """""""""""Lower schools are not included in the ban. The original proposed law only included uni's and such. The actual law just passed under article 44 includes all schools As to how it will affect phuket? think not at all beyond odd place intentionally targeting uni/college kids as the law is pretty much unworkable so doubt they will even try to enforce it (beyond police trying to up tea money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chercheur888 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 In a BKK newpaper, the Justice Minister says "The law is misunderstood and that new entertainment zones will be drawn which will take at least 180 days". Until then NO CHANGE This thread is not about the 2 day Buddhist booze ban, it is about the restriction of sales within 300m of any school nation wide 24/7. Oh.......OK. Ummmm...........it'll be enforced just like all the other rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
