madmen 9,987 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Pattaya already has a sensible solution, no beer after 6pm. Still can buy without panic and stores still make a profit and haven't seen any beach parties. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Leaver 5,772 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 ThaiBev's directors and shareholders would have the ear of government, so I can't see a ban. However, should staff in the breweries and distilleries start to go down with Corona Virus, then you may see some shortages. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The ban will be here soon you can count on it....The only real question is how long will it last for? 2weeks? 6months? Link to post Share on other sites

I've already stocked up. A ban is possible, but I can't see it happening. Money Number One here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Guderian 5,373 Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 Only 10 provinces in Thailand currently have restrictions on alcohol sales (beyond the normal ones, that is), and Chonburi is already one of them having limited its sales to a few daytime hours (11:00-2:00 and 5:00-6:00). I may be overly optimistic, but I don't see that further restrictions would achieve anything other than trigger yet more panic-buying. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
seasia 1,247 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Bought 3 beers in 7/11 at about 1.30 PM. Tesco Express also had stocks and were selling. Naklua area. Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post generealty 530 Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 Its good that people can joke at times like this, but I wonder if they are still joking in a month or two. I personally think if you are under house arrest, the least you should be able to do is have a beer or two. If you are allowed to go shopping for food, then what is wrong with adding a few bottles of beer to drink at home so long as you do not drink outside in gangs. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

There won't be an alcohol ban in Pattaya since there are already restrictions in place. FYI: There are 77 provinces in Thailand and only 9 + BKK with an alcohol ban so far.
