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?

I think you'll find the term 'educational establishment' is for universities and colleges so I'm told.

I'm not so sure about that...

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.

Check the PG ctrunfree.. I think it clarifies it for Phuket anyhow...

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.

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.

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.

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.

This thread is about impact on business. Yes, I know which establishments are affected because I drive past them several times a day.

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!!

Near me, Karb Gluay is a favorite restaurant. Phrabaranee Rd in Patong.

If they allow BYO, no problem.

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.

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)

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
