petedk Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It has always been possible to buy alcohol during the no alcohol sales time, if you bought at least 10 litres. Today, however, today I was told by the staff at Big C. that now it is impossible to buy any alcohol, no matter how much you want to buy, between 14.00 and 17.00 and before 11.00. Is this a new law?

stoneyboy Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I was under the impression you need to have govt paperwork to buy out of hours. Joe public can not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Joe public could buy 10 litres. There were signs in places like Foodland listing the regulations. But all this has now changed . Not exactly sure when it happened but I read that the 10 litre exemption has been done away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 You could previously buy alcohol between 2& 4 pm if it's 10 litres. Then they changed this to people who held an alcohol resale licence, now total ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) If memory serves me well! (a checkpoint for my next visit at Makro) YouOne can buy alcohol during the restricted times if one has a valid alcohol selling license and then still in an amount of 10 litres or more. So "You" can't Makro markets display this in clear English. Tesco did'nt make the effort and in English just writes "no alcohol..." while the Thai text is more comprehensive (I haven't tried to read it). Maybe the rule existed ever since, but was just laxly enforced by waiving the check of alcohol license when more than 10 liters were bought ?

petedk Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Now is a good to to quit for a few days and see if you are an alkoholic or not. Well, I can't remember last time I bought more than 10 litres. I bought 6 cans of beer about a month ago and they are still in the cupboard. I just asked because sometimes we hold a party and need to buy some drinks and I often go shopping early in the morning (9 am) so I am forced to buy 10 litres. Anyway, I am one of the privileged. I live on Thong Lor. Nuff said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony5 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The 10 Litre rule was scrapped about 6 months ago Since the alcohol restriction is enforced under the disguise that it's to prevent students from buying alcohol during break times, I assume to many bought 10 liter at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTrash Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Villa on Ramkhemheng (Pure Place) sells alcohol from opening time to closing time, yet the Villa 1km away at Paseo Mall wont sell between 2-5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
