fangless Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) I have 100Bht riding on this! TV Holidays states that tomorrow, 1st October, is dry but the misses insists no and that everything is open. Who is right. It's the money bet I am worried about, not the booze! Honest. PS; Talking about CM in particular if it makes any difference. Edited September 30, 2020 by fangless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaoNiaw Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Usually the end of the Buddhist lent is just a regular day with alcohol sales as normal. Not heard any different this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton Rd Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 All nonsense, I have yet to meet a real Buddhist here after 26 years, why should we have to suffer these holidays and dry days for a bunch of hypocrites? 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I assumed going by your holidays list, which I always consult. The problem is that Phuket say tomorrow is dry day but my other half, my tuk tuk driver and the local 7/11 say they know nothing about a dry day today or tomorrow!

We had lunch at Wine Connection, Central Festival, Chiang Mai, yesterday, 1st October 2020, and all kinds of beer, wine and spirits were available. Today, 2nd October, is a dry day at least up here in the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The answer to the OP's question is yes and no, depending on if he goes to a large chain store or the local family-run corner shop. As always. Must be a newbie to ask such a question ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not October 1, it's October 2 until 00:00. It doesn't matter if some shops sell or not, they know it's illegal,but don't care. It has nothing to do with Thailand as a country.

Besides being able to buy beer whenever, I liked to support Thai owned small businesses, and the owners are usually very friendly. In the last 10 years it seems like 85-90% of them have closed. Replaced by 7-11, Family Mart, Super Cheap, Tesco, and Big-C mini marts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
