Why would anyone post an affirmative, not to mention defamatory, answer to that question?! Edited June 8, 2020 by Bob A Kneale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverKlozerof Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Found one place like this last night. If you know of another, PM me. In BKK it's common. TIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirocco Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Currently, you will not be served alcohol at the table. Otherwise, in restaurants or in cafe / bar, I had a real glass, in glass, for a real wine, coffee or cappuccino, in cups, sometimes a tall glass cup for cappuccino, beer in beer glasses (mug, pint, half ...) Now, we serve you coffee in plastic or cardboard, in rest / rest areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 People are beginning to ignore the rules. I took a drive a couple of days ago and saw a couple of Thais sitting drinking from large Leo bottles at a table on the road side. Many are drinking beer from coffee mugs. I'm getting the feeling that the people have had enough with this BS and are returning to normal regardless of what the government say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the place in business is indeed serving alcohol in a tea cup, how wonders Stadtler, could that be defamatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster who made the claim would be accusing the restaurant of breaking the law during the Covid-19 restrictions, that's defamation in Thailand. Tell that to Stadtler when you see him, if you don't mind. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Buy a large coffee at 7-11. After consumption, fill it with beer. Go to a bar and order a water. Keep another beer or 2 in your backpack. If you need to refill, take the cup and backpack to the toilet and refill with beer. These are times to think outside the box if you are desperate to drink in a bar. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to Stadtler when you see him, if you don't mind. Thanks. Stadtler is mildly amused by the logic used in the quoted statement. Is defamation different under WUHAN FLU restrictions? Perhaps Stadtler can help the poster with a proper legal definition: Quote The taking from one's reputation. The offense of injuring a person’s character, fame, or reputation by false and malicious statements. The term seems to be comprehensive of both libel and slander. Printing Co. v. Moulden, 15 Tex. Civ. App. 574,41 S. W. 381; Moore v. Francis, 121 N. Y. 199, 23 N. E. 1127, 8 L. R. A. 214, 18 Am. St.Rep. 810; Hollenbeck v. Hall, 103 Iowa, 214, 72 N. W. 518, 39 L. R. A. 734, 04 Am. St.Rep. 175; Mouat v. Snyder, 105 Iowa, 500, 75 N. W. 350. False and malicious. If said restaurant is serving alcohol in a coffee cup, stating so would not be false, and neither would it be malicious. You seem to be off in the weeds on this point. Stadtler hopes that he helped you. Edited June 9, 2020 by Stadtler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand's defamation laws are not the same as the US's, god knows why you referred to them. Defamation suits are frequently successfully filed here regardless of whether the allegations against the "injured party" are true or not. Perhaps you could look them up sometime. "If said restaurant is serving alcohol in a coffee cup, stating so would not be false..." Very true, but in Thailand if that claim is publicised the person making the assertion can be sued for defamation regardless.
