DennisF Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Just got a message from some friends arriving here on the 15th December and they have been informed, ( not sure how reliable their source is), that due to the funeral taking place on the above dates there will be no alcohol sales or bars open. Anyone got any official statements about this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAppletons Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 "Palace and government authorities this morning held the second rehearsal for the funeral procession of the late Supreme Patriarch Somdet Phra Nyanasamvara from Wat Bowonniwet Vihara to Wat Thepsirin along the 3.6 kilometre long route." and "As the traditional procession moved slowly along the route out of the temple at 7 am, funeral music was performed exactly as the actual day which is scheduled to be held on December 16." http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/second-rehearsal-for-late-supreme-patriarchs-funeral-procession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thanks for the clarification TheAppletons. There's certainly potential for a booze ban on the actual day of the funeral (possibly only local to the funeral itself), but nothing announced as yet. Time to fill the fridge.

wandasloan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I often wish someone would augment the internet with some means to FIND the information we know is there. Whoever does that, they'll probably make billions. Until then, we'll just have to continue to ask others because there is absolutely no way to find anything on the internet right now. Shame.

Sutty Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I got this from a friend of mine who knows a friend who is related to a friend of a friend who himself is related to his best friends uncle who has a friend who is very reliable who tells us that a friend of his has chicken pox and the bars on the right side of the road will close between 1100 and 1800 where upon the bars on the left side will close from 1801 to 0700. Between 0700 and 1100 he has asked his friend to ask his best friend for clarification ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza40 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 It's not rocket science. Fill the fridge or cupboard with your favourite tipple, sit back and relax for a couple of days. When posters on TV complain about bars being closed, I'm reminded of Billy Joel's Piano Man: " And the waitress is practising politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinking alone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this is why there's always posts asking about 'dry days' as the local authorities often provide little to no information in advance. There was a difference on December 5th this year. This is the first time I've ever known alcohol to be allowed to be sold on the 5th even though it's not against the law, in the past the police enforced it. This year they didn't.

The public setting also these encounters to be unplanned, as well as to include new people. Getting drunk at home by yourself has all the negatives associated with getting drunk but none of the positive social elements. It's socially as well as physically unhealthy. I'm quite sure that posters who encourage this either don't drink or are hopeless alcoholics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
