My top up case yesterday was only 20 bottles instead of 24 which gave me a bit of nervous twitch, but I haven't been down this morning for more I have so much faith in this decision. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I went to our fishing park yesterday. I counted 10 Thai's round a table in a fishing "hut" enjoying the afternoon on Thai whiskey, beers and food. When I finally gave up trying to hook something worth catching I sat down and ordered off the menu. I asked for a large Chang although no alcohol on display in the large chiller cabinet. A large glass filled with ice soon appeared followed by an unchilled Chang from somewhere round the back. I enjoyed my meal; a couple more Chang's; the setting sun over the lake and the occasional smiles ( wishful thinking) from one of the girls at the noisy fishing hut. For an hour or so all was covid free once again. 🤣 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wifey's M&P shop lady has just called her and confirmed i have 3 boxes of large SML and 3 liter bottles of Sangsom PS - Just for the avoidance of doubt i don't have a drink problem but i do have a problem when i can't get one 🤣 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy Boy Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If we can buy booze again then all we'll need is for the beaches and swimming pools to reopen and we'll be back in our tropical idyll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that doesn't happen. Yeah, Chonburi province is still considered a virus "hot spot", but Pattaya City hasn't had a case for over two weeks now (which the CCSA is using as it's virus-free yardstick), and it'll be three weeks on May 5th when they dismantle the checkpoints, Buddha willing. By all means, Guvnor, keep the ban in Chonburi City, a right old plague pit it is and all, but please let the good burghers of Pattaya drink their fill! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word yet from the Chonburi Governor if the same will hold true here. Wish these clowns would get their act together. They've had more than enough time, and meetings, so there is no excuse for this waffling and waiting to the last minute to make a decision.

PN posted on FB a day or two ago their site was undergoing maintenance, so that might be the reason for the go-slow. And this just in. Chonburi announced alcohol can in fact be sold starting tomorrow. Hope this isn't like the bars advertising Free Beer Tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely selling again. I have photographic proof. Out for my morning ride when I encountered a traffic backup on Soi Arunothai. Turns out it was this guy trundling down the middle of the traffic lane. When he finally turned into Nirun traffic started moving again. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Posted at 9:219:21 Thai restaurants restart with plastic barriers between diners AFPCopyright: AFP Thailand has allowed businesses including markets, hairdressers and some sports venues to reopen as authorities begin a phased easing of coronavirus restrictions. Restaurants have also reopened but with strict social distancing, even requiring clear plastic barriers between diners. The ban on alcohol sales is being lifted, but only for home consumption. The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says the success of the new measures will be re-evaluated after two weeks. In addition, any Thais returning from overseas must spend 14 days in state-designated quarantine facilities, such as hotels, and must pay the bills themselves, the Bangkok Post reported. The country reported only three new infections on Sunday and no new deaths. Thailand has seen a total of 2,969 coronavirus cases and 54 deaths since the outbreak began.

Jambo Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Apart from the Barber Shop at the end of the Village opening up I have not noticed any difference at all in Mae Sot Town as a whole. Maybe this evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWA Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I walked from the hospital north on Buakhao to Klang yesterday morning and lots of restaurants with folk sitting in for food. Cheap Charlie's, Sutus, Hippo, Pitini's, Witherspoons, Sarasota and more. On Klang heading East a couple of Thai ones and I was probably too early for a lot more. Got to Big C just before 11:00 and got my beer just before the big rammy started, although had to wait a minute or two at the till until it turned 11:00 before they'd let me check out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
