I'm sure Mr Chang and Mr Singh will not let it carry on for too long

It feels like we are in 1920's (USA)

That worked well didn't it!

There is a confusion between Nakorn Panom and Nakorn Pathom. Nakorn Panom is dry to April 30. Nakorn Pathom is dry now but I can't find out for how long. Began 2 days ago, not beginning of the month.

For Al Capone and his friends, very well indeed.

That's my worry too. I've got a few boxes stacked up to last me probably two months, but by telling myself I need to ration it a bit is not the way to enjoy a beer, especially when we don't know when we can buy again.

Our local store says that there is a way, but the real problem is will they be supplied from the big boys. I am on rations that will only last two weeks, good luck to you.

Peer pressure! Reason that got them drinking to begin with!

Don't make the mistake of thinking this ban in Bangkok will last for only 10 days and that some other areas will not implement it. It will be extended across Thailand and the current end time will also be extended. You need to think 2-3 months and prepare to stock up or live dry.

I and we ( all the family and I'm the only farang ) don't drink alcool; so we don't care  .

You can add Udon Thani to that list effective from tomorrow, April 11 to 30.

[lagavulin1 127]

Add Udon Thani from tomorrow.

But still not Nakhon Phanom , so far ?

No. There’s no reason for this. Just like there is no reason to:

 

1. shut down beaches 

2. shut down vital businesses

3. implement a ridiculous curfew

4. shame people for not wearing a ridiculous mask

5. shut down travel to different cities.

 

This is easier to get away with in the more poor communities and uneducated societies. Poor people and the ignorant are easy to control. They react to one giant headline or their government saying to do something and then they start getting on their knees. It’s called communism - coming to a country near you if China had their way.

 

It’s actually pretty funny how many people are still so in the dark and trying to figure out what’s going on. Its called turning up the heat on control. 
 

But, but, but the BBC told us it’s because of a FLU! You would have to be brain dead to believe that narrative.

 As a foreigner, disobeying the Thai government is not recommended, but it's your choice.

 

Before you go ahead and try, Thailand is in a state of emergency, where normal rights have been suspended.

Normal rights were suspended on 22 May 2014 and have been suppressed ever since.

Thanks Genius, but as the Yanks say I will take a rain check.

Alcohol, being a drug that affects behaviour, should be considered the least essential non-essential item of all.

For people who have been used to it over a long time and in consideral amounts being shockdried can bring them in lethal danger. They could come into delirium with psychiatric behavior and then death. I wonder when we shall see some zombies roaming the streets. Probably after 3 or 4 days.
