Buddhist holiday on Friday-Bars open?

[CarolinaJames]

I saw a post about no alcohol served in Phuket but didnt see any news or posts about Pattaya on Friday.

I assume no sales? Am I wrong?

Thanks!

Yes highlighted each year by TV members that it's a terribly bad thing stopping people having a drink on said day.

It should be outlawed according to many.

"It should be outlawed according to many. "

Although they usually cobble their laments in altruistic terms, speaking of the trauma it would cause to tourists who would have their entire holiday ruined if the only alcohol available to them for 24 hours was from the hotel room mini-fridge or room service.

I didn't know you could get a beer at a gym in Thailand.

Bars closed on Friday.....wow, now that would be great news.....???. All the pissheads and local knobs can use the day off for something constructive....like being normal and not letting alcohol make tupidity seems like normal.....lol...??

It should be obvious alcohol kills brain cells when the drinkers can't remember to stock up the day before.

There speaks the 'Monitor of all 'Farang' behaviour in Pattaya' who has never had a drink in his life or at least since he met his 'tee rak' who has forbidden him from drinking so she can spend all his cash on her 'brother'....

Even on such days there are always a few all too Wonderful places which 'slip through the net' (have paid the appropriate tea money) and will be open, much to the dismay of the TV 'ALL 'farangs' must be teetotal, blindly worship and obey ALL Thai customs no matter how archaic'' puritan brigade.

A wander around on Friday or a chat with a few well established 'locals' will point you in the right direction and should be rewarding.

Failing that, get 'takeaway' on Thursday and stock up your fridge with ale and spirits, have a debauched night in, then when stocious, go have a drunken sing song outside chicowoodduck's house at 3am.....

Enjoy.

Bars/supermarkets etc ALL closed.

[smotherb]

Designate a single friend's house as the party place. Everyone buy drinks and snacks the day before and bring then that night. Somebody stop off and bar fine a few girls to take to the party. Have a good time and enjoy the Buddhist holiday.

Alternatively, you could bring your wives/gfs, food and booze and have a bible reading, or simply play bridge

My alcoholic friend has already stored up his fridge for Friday..........

Yet another dill on TV. Just because someone may wish to have a beer with friends, in your mind makes them a "pisshead" ....you boring person.

Yes you can buy booze the day before. However I give you one example....I realize my comment is pertaining to in the main au xpats, but there is a marque au rules game on Friday. Many prefer to enjoy that in a bar.

Might be boring, but I'm sober and can carry on a conversation without the need of the piss....try it sometime, you might actually have a worthwhile and understandable coversation.....?

Most likely Friday's go to sign??

But add in the piss and it's even more worthwhile partly because less understandable.
