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.

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.

That's 7700ml of liquid to finish in the next 10 hours - easy.

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 .

It is well documented that Bangkok is sinking into the mud, with all the shaking hands due to alcohol deprivation, I have grave fears Bangkok is doomed!

No, but 7 days of alcohol withdrawal could be even more dangerous.

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!)

If you drink all that, you can always hop and the bike and go find some more!

Not sure about your beer/water ratio there. Maybe lose a couple of waters?

They are running out of ideas to make all of this more miserable

Starting tomorrow there will be a daily kick in the nuts.
