News Forum - Khon Kaen still enforcing unpopular alcohol ban at least 2 more weeks

[Thaiger]

Khon Kaen’s governor announced yesterday that the province will continue its highly strict, unpopular ban of alcohol from all restaurants for at least two more weeks.

Alcohol can still be bought in grocery stores, though. Khon Kaen’s ban from all restaurants first started on February 23.

Civid seems to be unabated in the provinces. If anything it seems to have spread far and wide. Now is the time for caution.

As we all know... alcohol stirs up covid to a rampart beast... eat all you want in a crowded restaurant but it's the alcohol that spreads covid.

Part of the problem mate is that the same old nonsense continues. Governor imposes alcohol ban and yet all the bars and restaurants in Khon Kaen are serving alcohol. I have a couple of friends in KK and and they regularly go out in the evening and post pictures of bars with signs saying “No Alcohol” and inside they are serving beer in plastic cups. The Thai bars are open and alcohol is flowing every night. The police know it and are part of the corruption and so it goes on. 
 

Im due to visit Khon Kaen soon. Will be interesting to see how well the no alcohol ban is being enforced. From what I hear, it isn’t. A total waste of time.

Same as all the Thai rules and laws, just a facade.

Exactly. So it’s impossible to say that Alcohol bans or any other measures don’t work because look at X,Y,Z location in Thailand. Khon Kaen cases are going up because apart from mask wearing and the closure of nightclubs, life is more or less back to normal.
