" Depriving people of having fun on their day off"

I believe it is possible to have fun without alcohol.

Most Thais who want to enjoy alcohol on these days will simply have bought it the day before anyway (and of curse many places will serve it discretely too if you know where to go) so the law is a bit pointless as it will mainly affect tourists on their first visit to Thailand who will no doubt find it all a bit confusing.

Yeah and I believe I can fly as well, but only when it is out of my drinking schedule. I only drink on a couple of certain days of the week to keep myself in check and my wife and kids happy, so if this is on one of those days then I will just prepare and do my norm at home like every thia I know as well. I don't think Thai mom and pop shops will resepect this closed uless the RIP visit every shop as they have been seen to do before to scare everyone not to do.

One of my 1st visits to Thailand I went to a bowling alley with 2 girls and they were serving beers under the tables on a alcohol ban day

And 20 years in and I have never had even the slightest problem getting booze those days

My wife and I used to go to Madrid Bar once in a while

One of the oldest bars in Patpong

Pretty good pizza

Loved the booths
