Two day alcohol sales ban for Buddhist Lent holidays starts Sunday

The Department of Disease Control in Thailand confirmed in a post on social media this morning that there is a 48 hour ban on the sales of all alcohol this weekend and the official dates will be July 5th and 6th, 2020.

This means that at Midnight Saturday night/Sunday morning, selling alcohol will be illegal until Midnight Monday night/Tuesday morning.

We waited to announce this at The Pattaya News as there were mixed messages from various officials and organizations as well until this morning.
