Alcohol rules today

[iainiain101]

I have friends arriving from the UK, and wondered what the rules re getting a beer with dinner where for today. Does anyone know if today is dry?

I have bought some beer at Rimping today without any issue, but when I asked a friend about his restaurant, he said he would not be serving alcohol today.

Must admit to being confused!

There are dome bars that will be closed and some restaurants that will not serve beer because the owners believe this is a sign of respect for the King. But there is no blanket ban on alcohol even in this city that is now under the control of so rather puritanical authorities.

I just bought a case of Singhas...556 thb, born on 21-11...I'm going to try something that I learned in America; putting them in a refrigerator.

Surprising....no problem at Tesco...but then again, they had to go to court to get back their privilege from the 300 m rule.

No problem at Nana unless you don't like to support swindlers or you think men shouldn't be in dresses.

All the bar owners I talked to last night said closed today.. And certainly not by choice or out of 'respect'.

Pattaya gogos mostly open as normal.

[LivinLOS]

Patts open almost as normal.. Phuket open as normal.. Chiang Mai shut.

But its not discrimination of the north.. oh no.. thats not happening.

Alcohol rules tomorrow too.

I heard that Chiang Mai Saloon Loi kroh was closed, but supposedly for 2 weeks. I assume it is a misunderstanding, or did I miss something?

[sharktooth]

So it's a no bevvy day today?

Today is a holiday in lieu of Kings birthday, but a normal day as regards to alcohol sales.
