Bangkok bans sale of alcohol 10th to 20th April

[champers 8,895]

In Pattaya I bought some beers at noon for a final hurrah tonight for me and the other half. I am expecting Chonburi province to follow suit. We haven't had a beer for a week, so 10 days without will be OK. Stocks already low in my local 7/11. How will the alkies cope?

this is true but it's even more of a challenge when exercise is forbidden too

 

it might be time to hit the pharmacies instead

That's a great idea! Feel good and lose weight at the same time, a bit like going to free parties in London in the 90's

Internet is full of excercise videos you can do at home.

Less alchohol during the Songkran period, with or without water fights will reduce socialising, and if it is only for 10 days, as in some places, not so bad. It's the danger of the ten days becoming another ten days, and then another that is worrying.

they'll say it's songkran related but I don't believe this is the case at all, and the ban will be 10+ days for sure

 

tough times ahead after reading this story

I've become bored of beer recently, so I'll just use this as an opportunity to give it up for a while, we're all getting fatter now anyway... 

After my initial child like sulking , Ive started thinking along the lines of it being a good thing for me. Ive already packed in the cigarettes and now i can have a dry out as well. I WILL be a better man.

Ready set go... 10 days  

Good you looked after your wife, but you would have been OK. There's no ban on WATER!

I've also cut down and added more exercise. Lost 2.5kg in three weeks of staying at home and feeling good. Recommended.

When will this garbled mess of different provincial rules finally stop? I thought Thailand has a central government.

Whom or what does this nonsense any good except causing confusion...

Or a terribly slow walker.

Does not affect me. A lot of small shops where i live, will sell to me my afternoon beers anyway. Only different will be the transport for the few meters to my home. Have to use instead a plastic bag my old small backpack,  where a six pack of Big Chang can be placed easily.
