SamT Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I just went down to my local 7-11 and saw that their alcohol fridges are covered over. Is there a blanket ban on sale of off-licence alcohol for the duration of Songkran or is it just different hours that you can buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Not sure nor do i care .In my area (Sansai ) there are loads of independent groceries who sell alcohol all day and are cheaper than 7/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamT Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 That's great that you don't care, but it doesn't actually answer my question as to whether or not I can buy alcohol during Songkran. Nor was I asking for the cheapest place to buy alcohol, the 7-11 was used as an example for the off-licence place that I visited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba1 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 No ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khwaibah Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) All 7-11 nation wide only sell alcohol between 11 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to midnight. By the timing of you post it looks like your may have have been in a 7-11 before 11 am. Edited April 13, 2016 by khwaibah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you live exactly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you live exactly ? Mahidol Road area nearish to airport plaza. I possibly do, just thought I'd see if there was a ban before I went out looking for it. I'm new to the area, been here about a week so I don't have a huge clue what is or isn't in my area. I apologise for asking a (apparently) stupid question...

If you see a little shop ,with a glass fronted fridge displaying beer ,you can just point to what you want ( if you do not know Thai ) ,and you can assume that they will sell anytime that they are open ,unlike 7/11 .(who can not break the selling time laws ) .
