It has already been demonstrated that anybody in the know can find alcohol so the drunks will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhippy Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Meanwhile, my angry wife (see other thread) has come back from testifying at her local temple. You know, the Lent thingy. And she did bring the bottle of Sang Som I asked her to bring after the testifying. As a matter of fact, I was enjoying a hot but "sober" bath in the company of Pink Floyd - had to trade hot bath & Dark Side Of The Moon for hot bath & wife & Sang Som with coke. Maybe that Lent thingy got her thinking? Maybe not that bad at all, this buddha thingy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to figure. All of Soi 6 has been restricted to their original license serving booze after 6:00 only. That's been for about 3 weeks now. it is gradually being extended to some bars on Soi Buakao, Walking Street and others. Of course no booze this weekend for the beginning of Buddhist Lent. All the other bars on Soi 7, 8 and most other popular haunts are un affected. I've had numerous conversations with friends that are bar owners about whats going on. The real reason seems to be getting clear. however it would be inappropriate to discuss here. I feel sorry for the girls who are supporting their kids and families. they are really hurting now. The restrictions end at 6:00 but business is way down. Everyone agrees this M.O. is different than previous restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One request take a good long look in the mirror before you judge or continue to call me names. Please stop it, " sanctimonious, oh so very altruistic, selfish, self-proclaimed Buddhist" etc,etc. Please stop calling me names. it's childish and foolish. Some people are simply unfortunate. Now what did you see? So you can dish out but can't take it?

Momofarang Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 1 hour ago, stephen tracy said: Did you stop to consider for one moment that in banning restaurants/bars to generate revenue through the sale of alcoholic beverages for a quarter of every year would cause the closure of those establishments? Did you stop to consider for one moment the effect this would have on tourism, one of Thailand's chief sources income, and which supports the livelihoods of millions of Thai people (including Buddhists) who depend on tourism to make a living, and who would be devastated by such a law? How many hotels do think would still be able to open their doors after a couple of years of this? Either you didn't stop to consider this, or you did but don't care about the well-being of others, only your own. Your views and those of joeyg reflect just how utterly selfish you both are. I applaud all the TV members in this thread who have stood up and responded to this utter selfish drivel. Cheers fellas! As far as I am concerned selling alcohol, is just as sinful (and I don't say unlawful) as pushing illegal drugs. I am not a teetotaler either, I share a couple of bottles of wine, a month, with my beloved wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
