Do i have to go without a beer this coming Saturday night?    .......Thirsty just thinking about it 

 

 

Yes, but they don't close until 18:00 so you can fill your boots in the bars in the afternoon if you want to,.and then finish up with a bottle or six at home.

Sunday is closed as well.

What for this time?  Can't see anything on the calendar.  Elections?

Constitutional referendum..

With around 2% of Thailand's 48 million eligible voters registering to vote on the Constitution, those that feel deprived (once again) of their right to buy and consume piss in public 24/7, can rail against the 960,000 or so locals who give some illusion of caring about their future.

Jeez...

 

I was going to get drunk and then try to vote.

Me., as a tourist, having a beer on Sunday and watching the Mighty Cats is hardly going to infringe the rights of the 960,000 who intend to vote. I am not going to set up road blocks.

That sign is truer than you may think.

 

Bar Open - No Erections today.

Bar Closed - Erections possible.

 

Sign in MaxValue at my Condo

From August 6th at 18:00

Until August 7th at 24:00
 

It's done to stop the poor from spending their money on booze, it doesn't stop people who can afford to have large stocks of booze at home.

Well, quite a lot of people are paid to vote. About 300 baht. Now nobody wants these people to get wasted and forget to vote.

So ---- what to do ---- close the boozers of course. Problem solved. 

Should do the same in Farangland... maybe we would have effective governments!

Your rights are not the point. The alcohol restrictions during election times is about getting maximum voter turnout by reducing festivities and alcohol consumption. It's not a bad idea. Sorry for the inconvenience.

From what I've heard so far, most bars are going to obey.  Most don't think it's worth the risk.

I understand people are often paid to vote in a general election, but for a constitution?

I think Hooters is open. I'm not sure about serving booze. My Hooters girl said she had to work so couldn't come over. Convinced me. Maybe I should go check on her? If she's lying, well, at least I have learned my support has been a scam and she's a lying bitch. She asked me to never go to Hooters because dating customers isn't allowed, even off duty. Humm....

She's not lying... she's here working.

 

She just gave me her phone number as well. Do you want it?

I just left a bar.  Open after 6PM, and normal hours tomorrow.  But no booze.  Still have quite a few customers after 6PM.  Not sure about 8PM! LOL

Why is this a big deal? Can get pissed at home if can't get through the day without a skinfull.

 

If it's the bar scene that one craves, the bars should be open, just not selling alcohol. That's what used to happen anyway.

So voting closed for an hour now already.

 

No alcohol can be served until after midnight, 8 hours after the polls close. Why??????

Poll workers and those counting the votes sober. Makes complete sense to me.

I am assuming that you did have your sarcasm font on there

So they don't kill each other with drunken quarrels about who voted for what.
