Apart from the fact I'd forgotten, and was trying to get a box of beer (for somebody else - my fridge was already full), I thought it was hillarious as well. I just wish I'd been there to watch them cling filming the shelves - that must have been well funny.Ricardo ShillyShally wrote:Funny!

In the UK, before the booze laws changed, Tescos tills simply wouldn't allow alcohol to be checked out after 10.30pm. I suspect such a solution would not work here?
Even funnier...Big Boy wrote:Also extra security guards making sure nobody removed the cling film

Re: Buddha Day(s) bars closed
I have to say that one of the funniest things for me is seeing the uproar every time a Buddhist holiday comes along, and a bunch of desperate farang are left wandering forlornly around town with their tongues hanging out...
Does nobody use calendars any more? I can understand one-off tourists being a bit miffed, but anyone else really should know better!

This is the way

Think most of the larger hotels will serve alcoholic beverages no matter what time on their own premises to cater for the tourists (of course assuming said tourist is staying at a slightly above-average hotel). Those based locally should know better.
Most of the minimarts - 7-11, Tescos etc have their registers lock out sales so if said staff don't have a work-around there is no sale. Unless, of course, you buy 4 cases at a time. Go figure.
As the Buddhist Lent is now upon us, the other half has decided to go veggie for the duration and I have been told to curb my beer intake.
