Let's get this damn virus nailed down so that we can all get back to normal. I did 15 years in Saudi Arabia so I can stand a few weeks without booze. You must have been in a minority of one in Saudi. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes they changed the taste when the government put up taxes on alcohol a few years ago..they also sneakily reduced the actual beer in the bottle from 630 to 620 ML but covered that with a new sticker on the neck of the bottle. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post 2long 2,398 Posted April 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2020 Crazy really, because every other year the roads are packed and they don't ban the sales of booze. This year people are advised not to drive home and they ban the sale of booze! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
keithet 175 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I ordered a few cases from Tesco shopping online and the delivery date is not for the 14th. I guess Tesco will cancel my order even though it was placed before this ban 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They sell also alcohol on special holidays back door for Thais only. The small shop owners can buying also on Buddhist holidays or on election days. Jumping on the motorbike and in between a couple of minutes refill of beer is guaranteed 365 days a year. So no problem for sure. I will go visit at 5 pm to my favourit shop and will confirm that with him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
