Thai election forces 2-weekend booze ban
BANGKOK: — No alcohol will be served to expatriates, tourists or local residents in bars and restaurants over the next two weekends nationwide due to the oncoming election.
The first dry days will be 14, 15 and 16 December, pre-election days for a few million Thais who registered to vote early.
Thaivisa has been informed that no alcohol is allowed to be served nationwide between Friday 14th at 6pm until Sunday 16th at midnight.
Elections on the 23th will mean no alcohol will be sold from 18:00 on the 22nd till 24:00 on the 23th of December.
Practically this means two dry days in the two weekends ahead, although some tourist areas tend to be lenient once it’s past 19:00 on election day.
Please be aware that local rules could apply.
