Alcohol sales ban!
Re: Alcohol sales ban!
One has to apply the rationale of the socially enabled, empowered but otherwise morally delinquent and indolent provincial governor here.
Does he open the office on a big holiday weekend to formally promulgate a 2-day moratorium and thus have to repeat the same exercise in reverse 48-hours later?
Or does he just take the path of least resistance and issue a simple, one-time, open-ended extension with no dates suggested or inferred?
Gentlemen (and DM), lay your bets.

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
Seems they will decide today as usual the messages being conveyed are confusing to say the least but that's normal for here. We will know today or tomorrow what restrictions will standvincemunday wrote: ↑April 30, 2020, 8:28 amBad news for some, no stocking up of booze to be allowed, let’s hope this isn’t right, we will have to wait and see.

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
Speculation is the food of fools, I will wander into Big C on the two days afore mentioned, should I be able to purchase a bottle of my favourite tipple all well and good if not , rationing will commence at two tots per day instead of three.
No problems, no frothing at the mouth or even the DT's, going for a stress free situation either way. Those that need a fix, can always contact the local Lao Kao maker and slowly kill yourself I suppose

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
When this restriction gets lifted, it will not be based on health reasons, it will be from pressure from the booze barons who will be none to pleased about this ban.
It makes very little sense on any other basis than a show of strength.
- Retail sales down
- Wholesale sales down
- Government revenue down
- Unemployment up
- Health benefits, probably unintentional but likely more from curbing excessive drinking than controlling COVID
Where is Al Capone when we need him

I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
So why is nobody talking about the road deaths usually associated with our beloved water festival that just passed, with the alcohol ban in place. Maybe because during this time under normal circumstances, far many more people would be dead from alcohol related road accidents, than have died from the VIRUS. So banning alcohol may save more lives, than this stupid lockdown.
Re: Alcohol sales ban!
What lockdown? The Udon Thani Wall Climbers Association have it on good authority that only the cleverest of farangs that have run out of beer are practicing it. To be more precise, only the members of the Udon Thani Wall Climbers Association that are clever, have run out of beer, who are members of this forum and have started drinking turps are worried about the great Thailand social engineering experiment.

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
Nakhon Phanom governor already rolled over the booze ban earlier today, extended through to 15 May.
At least that gets the bloody ball rolling...

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
now we are getting somewhere stay tuned folks .. your doing a great job of keeping us alcoholic wall climbers up to date Tam .. more provincial announcements sure to follow in the next few hours .
Opening of Udon airport for the May hols is a shocker IMO .. lead to a single infection here and bosh UD back to red colours n square 1.

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
It looks like the Alcohol ban has been extended at a National Level for another month.
It will be reviewed along with other measures after 15 days.

Re: Alcohol sales ban!
am I missing something here? apart from stopping a few small groups of lads/lassies sitting outside a ma/pa shop for an hour after work and having a beer, what are they stopping? They can still go and sit in an outdoor restaurant for the hour so it cant be a "social distancing" thing, bars/Kareoke/entertainment areas are closed so it cant be that, so what are they gaining from having a ban?
Re: Alcohol sales ban!
Well you are the wall climber that's nearest the airport so maybe get your newly sober snipers eye and pick 'em off as they arrive. Global House will be open so you'll even be able to build a proper watch tower, no?Drunk Monkey wrote: ↑April 30, 2020, 3:09 pmnow we are getting somewhere stay tuned folks .. your doing a great job of keeping us alcoholic wall climbers up to date Tam .. more provincial announcements sure to follow in the next few hours .

The forest was shrinking daily but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them.

For the Provincial Governors I mean. If they all ban it then nobody can get pilloried for having a random death that will be inextricably linked to the fact that he relaxed the provincial plebs piss rations too soon.
Cunning lot these guvner's. Head well below the parapet and arse well covered at all times.
