Popular Post Wiggy Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have 2 litres of whisky, 700ml of Jim Beam, 2 litres of Vodka and 3 litres of wine. I’m hoping that will last until the ban starts. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman666 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just now, geronimo said: They are ramping up the penalties for illegal sales so don't be so sure! I am sure of this. Normally we also sit on special holidays when beer sale is not allowed, outside of the small shops, but beer is under the table. Police driving thru every day between 5 and 6pm here. On very problematic days, as it was on election days where high penalties was set, the owner asked us to drink beer at home only. Now at these days i stay at home everyday to practise social distancing and this would not be possible without a couple of bottles of beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BobbyL Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 Truly bizarre as usual. They treat the masses like plebs who aren't to be trusted one iota and I struggle to see what benefit this is going to achieve. Sent the info to my mates in England earlier. They literally couldn't believe it. I wait for the day this place actually becomes a normal society ????. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketsub Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I asked at the beer/whisky depot and a few mom&pop shops here in the sticks of Songkhla, and all the sellers assured me that the ban wasn't in effect here and, even if it were, they had no intention of following it. Fingers crossed (and dripping with Purell!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel55 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Lucky I bought enough alcohol for next 10 days. In US there was prohibition too, and everybody knows what were results. People will buy today and/or later in dens. More restrictions and bans, less freedom. And there are people who support it. They should go to North Korea. Long live freedom! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Now all the alcies feel what people who like to use some weed, being treated like criminals for a small pleasure. Fun to see ???? Someone mentioned domestic violence rising.. i would say lowering alcohol is knowing to make people violent. So it would not rise but fall. If they really keep this up it might actually curb the virus but 10 days is not long enough. People can still stock up and party and forget about all rules of social distancing. So its a non measure. This is not aimed at people drinking a beer at home but those who now have drinking sessions with loads of friends. So i see the logic if you try to stop people from socializing and so on. But it wont work if its just 10 days and not all provinces and no real checks. So its just an inconvienience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighboring provinces? Which one has an alcohol ban? And do you see what might happen? "Smuggling" alcohol from neighboring provinces. A neighboring province would be Samut Prakan e.g. where the airport is. How stupid. Edited April 9, 2020 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
