Will There be a Beer Ban in Pattaya

[giddyup 15,701]

Bought a 2 litre red and six beers this morning locally on the Dark Side. It was also for sale at Tesco.

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.

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.

The lack of tax going into the coffers will soon be obvious and signal a U-Turn. (hic!)

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

I've already stocked up.  A ban is possible, but I can't see it happening.  Money Number One here.

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.

Bought 3 beers in 7/11 at about 1.30 PM.

 

Tesco Express also had stocks and were selling.

Naklua area.

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.

Correction to headline.

Not a beer ban, just the sale of.

I will enjoy having a beer tonight in my own home legally

What is a beer ban? 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.

Geta alife Do something creative - If your life is dictated by being able to buy a beer I think you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself how can I help others suffering
