The alcohol ban will be in effect from midnight Friday night through to midnight Saturday night.

 

PHUKET: -- The commander of the Phuket Provincial Police, Maj Gen Teeraphol Thipjaroen, has called for all vendors of alcohol across the island to observe the ban on the sale of alcohol for the Buddhist holiday Makha Bucha on Saturday (Feb 11).

 

The ban, instituted by law, will be in effect from midnight Friday night through to midnight Saturday night, Gen Teeraphol confirmed.

 

“Please note that the ban will not be in effect on the substitution day public holiday on Monday (Feb 13) . The sale of alcohol on that day can proceed as usual,” Gen Teeraphol told The Phuket News.

 

However, he warned against the sale of alcohol during the ban on Saturday.

 

“Under Section 39 of the Alcohol Control Act, the penalty is up to six months in prison, a fine of up to B10,000, or both,” he said.

Amazing how seriously they treat infractions of this puerile law, yet fail abysmally to get to grips with drink driving. Or with the fact that all booze will have been bought on Friday for home consumption on Saturday.
