It;s not difficult to stock alcoholic drinks for those dry days. Long holidays might boost tourism, but what about the loss for those bars or restaurants not allowed to sell alcoholic drinks. And with all bars closed, areas in darkness like a city under curfew. Actually nobody knows if we will have only one or two shitty days.

The dry days are next Tuesday (19th) and Wednesday (20th) for Asarnha Bucha and Buddhist Lent, so your BKK weekend should be safe....holidaymaker wrote:I'm in Bangkok this weekend will there be a ban on alcoholic drinks there

Let's see if they publish a road accident body count as they do at New Years and Songkran. I imagine the numbers will be the same.
