Decision Coming Monday On Bangkok Booze Ban Extension
Boozers in Bangkok will be on tenterhooks until Monday waiting on the decision by the BMA bigwigs as to whether the ban on the sale of alcohol will be extended or not.
The current #BangkokBoozeBan, introduced at short notice on April 10, expires on Monday and according to the Thai language paper the Daily News the subject of extending the order was discussed on Friday afternoon at a meeting chaired by Bangkok Governor Asawin Kwanmuang.
Following a brief discussion on the matter, it was agreed a decision regarding extending the ban on the sale of alcohol in Bangkok will be made on Monday.
With stocks running low in cupboards, fridges and mom and pop shops across the capital, an extension will bring a tear to the eye of many who enjoy a drink.

An alleged hitman wanted in connection with a murder in Samut Sakhon province has been picked up by police in Southern Thailand carrying an illegal firearm and ammunition.
The 34 years old man, identified only as Thanasak, was wanted on a warrant issued by the Samut Sakhon Court on 14 January 2021.
Police had put out an APB to southern provinces as intel led them to believe that was where he had gone on the run following the murder.
Officers at a checkpoint in Thap Sakae District in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province had received information that the suspect was driving a Black Toyota Alphard with a red Bangkok license plate.
On Sunday they spotted the suspects vehicle and immediately arrested him.
A search of the Alphard uncovered a Glock 9mm pistol loaded with one bullet in the chamber, a bag containing a magazine loaded with 13 bullets. A separate red Gucci bag concealing another magazine with 3 bullets and a black box holding a further 41 bullets.
Thanasak was initially charged with a string of firearms offences and will be transferred to Samut Sakhon for questioning regarding the murder he is believed to have carried out.
Once-busy Siam Square in Bangkok was eerily quiet on Friday amid a slow-down in shoppers and tourists due to Covid-19.
Footage from the Siam Square centre in the heart of the capital shows many shops have been shuttered and closed.
Shopping malls had previously been packed with tourists from China but holiday travel was stopped in March last year with many restrictions are still in place.
An increase in Covid-19 infections that started in December has seen pubs nightclubs shut while restaurants must follow 9pm closing time guidelines, which the government believes will limit the chances of new coronavirus infections spreading.
Thailand’s Krungsri Bank forecasts that it will be up to three years before tourism returns to its pre-pandemic tourism levels.
Sixty-five patrons and staff were arrested in the early hours of Saturday at a restaurant just off Sukhumvit Road in the Nana area of Bangkok for violating the Emergency Decree.
Officers from the Immigration Bureau and Lumpini Police Station raided the Taj Cafe on Sukhumvit Soi 3 just after 1am following a tip-off the restaurant was open selling booze and baraku to customers.
Not only did police find shisha and alcohol sales taking place at the venue masquerading as an Indian restaurant, but they also found 12 people who had entered Thailand illegally and one foreigner on overstay.
All were charged with visa violations and violating the emergency decree.
Fifty-two others, including 42 Thais and 10 foreign nationals, were charged with illegal assembly in violation of the decree.
The manager Mandeep Singh, a 28-year-old Indian national, was charged with working without a permit, violating the emergency decree and the City Hall closure order and allowing baraku to be smoked on the premises.
All were taken to the Lumpini station for further legal proceedings.
On January 2 the BMA announced the closure of 25 types of businesses, including entertainment venues to contain the spread of Covid-19 following an outbreak in mid-December that began rapidly spreading around the country.
