Pdoggg Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Pattaya elections are coming up. Booze sales will be prohibited for a 24 hour period starting 5PM on Friday, January 31st and ending at 5PM on Saturday, February 1st. Therefore most Pattaya bars will be closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I read elsewhere that it is 6pm bar closure tonight, which is correct. Also is it just sale that is prohibited? If I buy a couple of alcoholic drinks this evening in cafe/restaurant before prohibition time can I still keep and drink them after 5/6pm?

Pdoggg Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Depends on the restaurant. I see 5PM and I see 6PM in different places. I now see 6PM more than 5PM which is crucial because stores such as 7/11 do not sell beer between 2PM and 5PM everyday so there would be a window of opportunity between 5PM and 6PM. I suggest that you go to 7/11 before 2PM today. I think if you buy it before the start time you can finish it. Maybe not if you were ordering a big bottle of booze. I really don't know though.

Quietguy Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'm not desperate to drink, but will probably go to eat in cafe around 5pm, so if they are still selling alcohol I'll buy a couple of glasses of wine to drink with my meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietguy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Cafe owner came round and told everyone that they could buy alcohol until 6pm and finish them within a reasonable time. A number of customers were unaware of the restriction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
