Booze banned during Loy Krathong festival
Booze banned during Loy Krathong festival
Come to look at out most beautiful, picturesque festival. Don't enjoy yourselves though. I hope this is a threat that doesn't happen (and I don't drink anymore).

No big deal you just buy alcohol the day before if you want.
And i would think its common sense that you don't mix fireworks and alcohol:)

Quite frankly, floating flowers about on ponds would be of limited appeal to me without the party that generally goes along with it.SydneyGuy wrote:No big deal.....

So that leaves the Xmas/New year period & Songkran still to go..& the way things are going in this part of the world these holiday-periods will be under an achohol ban quite soon I fear..

After the booze bans will come total driving bans. They''ll correct their bad record the only way they know how, by control rather than educate. Or perhaps, the people simply can't be educated? Pete

Re: Booze banned during Loy Krathong festival
I don't think this wonderful idea is to ban drinking totally on the day itself. It's only to prohibit it at sites where specific Loy Krathong events are going on. Mind you, that sort of defeats the purpose for many people anyway.SydneyGuy wrote:No big deal you just buy alcohol the day before if you want.

So, I don't think the bars are going to be closed down as they are so often on other days of the year.

Bring your drinks with you.
Re: Booze banned during Loy Krathong festival
Be happy Christmas is not a normal Thai holiday. Because of that there probably won't be a ban on that day.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Up north we drink on dry days out of tea mugs.

As far as I could see, it didn't happen anywhere here in Hua Hin.

There was plenty of booze on Hua Hin Beach being sold from stalls

There was a BIG fight out at Khao Tao on Wednesday evening about 11'ish that was well fueled with all the booze. Many people involved, chair throwing, all the good stuff!

We don't often go out on big occasions, as my wife says Thai people are lovely peaceful people until Thai whiskey take hold of them, then the devil comes out to play.
