webfact Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Trang booze ban fiasco: Confusion reigns as police order alcohol off the shelves Picture: 77kaoded Thai media reported that confusion was rife in Trang province in southern Thailand after the public and traders thought the ban on selling alcohol had been lifted. The ban - implemented as part of Covid-19 restrictions on April 8th - was thought to be over at the end of April Shops and the public were wrong. It has actually been extended. Officers and Covid-19 crisis committee members were pictured at a Makro store ordering staff to take beer like Leo off the shelves and into storage. Lots of customers were arriving asking what on earth was going on. Signage will now explain things. All over Trang province retailers had started selling alcohol again. In fact the ban has been extended 30 days to the end of May and was never lifted. People face jail time if they flout the law. 77kaoded reported that the governor may lift the regulation mid-month but this only added to the confusion. Previously it was reported that only the governors of four provinces - Buriram, Pathum Thani, Petchaburi and Phitsanulok - had maintained the ban after the central government lifted it. Thaivisa notes that many people in Thailand are criticising the authorities for an approach completely lacking in uniformity.

Popular Post Odysseus123 Posted May 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Truly astonishing-a country of overlapping big and little robber baronies on so many different levels-with very poor (putting it nicely) communications between all the competing sectors. There is nothing "inscrutable" about all of this as it's just plain confusing and dumb. Edited May 6, 2020 by Odysseus123 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of policy and/or practice, the same could be said of just about any government directive ever issued here. Every little fiefdom is a law unto themselves here, and they act accordingly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if the Thai public had to report every 90 days to their government and submit forms to remain in the country every year - then they'd understand the nature of government offices nationwide lacking uniformity. Ask any farang! We all understand. No problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has been closed for so long now it was weird to sit down and eat. beer being sold but you can't sit and drink it. i actually took my mask off in public. a woman i had not "seen" for about four years sat down at my table and said "I know you. You have girlfriend? Where is your girlfriend? I see you with girlfriend here." and i said "I don't have a girlfriend." and she said "you lie". so you see everything is the same here in small town Hua Hin. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
